Someone else might be less able to control their own emotions and that is what would lead to aggression.

Both of his ear drums have ruptured and he is in constant pain needing a procedure that costs roughly more than $5,000. Dr. Tina bailey is the only certified animal surgeon in the area.

Recalling Chandler’s hardboiled definition, the detective, “must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.” (Chandler “The Simple Art of Murder”). When Jake suggests he did “as little as possible” in Chinatown, his restrained efforts paint him as either a lazy or incompetent man, and unlikely to be what Chandler would consider the best (Polanski).

“For the Bible Tells Me So”? In the film, several families expressed their concerns regarding the sexual preference of their children. Some parents of these children were accepting and some were not. For instance, Jake Reitan for Minnesota came from a long line of Lutheran Pastors. When Jake came out of the “closet”, some of the locals threw a brick through a car’s windshield and wrote “fag” in chalk outside his house.
