revolves around the criminal law branch of the court-martial of two U.S. Marines charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and conduct unbecoming a Marine. The storyline shares the trials and tribulations experienced by their lawyers assigned to defend them as they prepare for the case. The film illustrates the various phases of criminal procedure from arraignment, plea bargaining, to the trial itself and depicts the usual cast of courtroom individuals: defendants, Lance Corporal Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison) and Private First Class Louden Downey (James Marshall); defense council, Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), and Lieutenant Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak); prosecutor, Captain Jack Ross (Kevin Bacon); witnesses, Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson), Lieutenant Jonathan Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland), Colonel Matthew Markinson (J.T. Walsh), and Commander Dr. Stone (Christopher Guest); and Judge, Colonel Julius Randolph (J.A. Preston). Defendants Dawson and Downey find themselves thrusted into the branch of criminal law after following “code red” orders that goes awry. The defendants are all too ready to martyr themselves for their Marine brethren, until they finally comprehend that they will be excommunicated from the brotherhood if they maintain their silence. A murder charge is nothing compared to a dishonorable discharge, and so they admit they were just doing their colonel 's bidding. Defense…

should be out by the garage,” Rob told Jack as he opened the car door. He left it open as he slid out of his seat, sprinted through the grass, ducked around to the driveway, and halted as the flashlight beam fell upon the gasoline can. Jack picked it up, squeezing the handle tight enough that if he’d shined the beam upon his own hand, his knuckles would’ve been white. He carried it the way one carries a fallen tissue, delicate but disgusted, and darted back to the vehicle. The time on the clock…

for the Promotion of Natural Knowledge. Since the group was mostly Puritans, Charles II must have not liked supporting them. John Evelyn was the one who convinced him to give his name to it. A society in France formed as well in 1666. Louis XIV, not known for his tolerance, ended up giving his name to their society. The name of the French one was The Académie Royale des Sciences. The secretary was mathematician Christian Huygens. Cassini and Roemer used the work of Galileo to spend time on…

A swarm of bees took flight in my stomach. Although the roar of the crowd was audible from backstage, I moved around attempting to hear the fulfilling clank of the beads that attached to my cornrow braids. I felt skeptical about everything around me as this was more than ever I dreamed of in the twenty-five years of my life. I mustered the courage to peer behind the curtains only to find multitudinous copies of my book being held by people whom I’d never met before. The same words of “The fear…

Some arguments for the Baconian Theory, are based on anagrams or hidden messages found in the plays. Dr. Isaac Platt found that by extracting certain letters from a well-known line from Hamlet, "The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables," it creates with the anagram "FR. BACONI NATI," which according to his unconventional form of Latin means that Francis Bacon wrote the plays. Platt 's phrase, translated into conventional Latin, would actually mean "Of the birth of Fr.…

Four Idols Sir Francis Bacon divided the flaws of human thinking and understanding into four parts. These parts are in order of Idols of the Tribe, Idols of the Cave, Idols of the Market-place, and Idols of the Theatre. Each idol represents a separate fault in the way we perceive occurrences in the natural world and attempt to find a solid, unbiased, fact based, conclusion to the reasons behind the occurrences. These Idols, some more than others, inhibit one’s ability to have a clear way of…

As Sir Francis Bacon once said, "A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well." The quotation above proves Sir Francis Bacon’s beliefs that if one is constantly fixated on achieving revenge, it will never heal your own pain and misery. Human misery often creates sadness and leaves one stranded looking for answers. Through Hamlet, revenge and human misery are a recurring and dominant theme. Shakespeare introduces the audience to the corrupting…
