a year. That’s about 500 to 800 cases a year. This, of course, doesn’t hinder the prosecution from pursuing these cases. Very few of said cases actually go to trial due to these large amounts of plea bargains. If the public defender has more than they can handle that often leads to a high amount of plea bargains or extended jail time for defendants awaiting trial. While these numbers seem like they could be realistic, without any reference source there is no way to validate them. Therefore, this…

Throughout the progression of human history, technological advancements have always been made at the expense of altering and harming the environment; so much so that one of the five types of conflict highlighted in literary writing is human vs. nature. One such story that addresses this conflict is Princess Mononoke by Japanese storyteller Hiyao Miyazaki. Although appearing to be a simple animated children’s tale of a boy thrown into a fight between spiritual beings and the human civilization…

you are in, although really it is an insult to me,” (36). Torvald views Nora’s comment as not only invalid, but also as an insult. This complete disregard represents society ignoring the pleas of social activists and calling them delusional for something that’s against public opinion.

Rossetti’s poem, “Promises Like Pie-Crust," she excavates the dormant hesitation that is brought about by a naive past relationship. This hesitation is verbalized through the use of paradox: “Promise me no promises, So I will not promise you.” This plea is the evidence of a previous betrayal of trust, prompting the resistance of anything involving a commitment.

The speech I read was from the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (Movie Speech, 1998). General George C. Marshall read aloud a letter that Abraham Lincoln wrote to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. I believe the goal of the speech was to inform his officers that there was a mission for them, which was to do whatever they had to to bring that boy home alive (Movie Speech, 1998). The goal of the speech/letter was not clearly stated until after he was done reading it to his officers. Based on the contents of…

America is an immensely diverse nation; built on the ideals of the ‘Land of the Free’ and ‘Home of the Brave’. The United States is also known as the Land of Opportunity, but how true do the statements ring for all of its citizens? Civil rights movements, within the United States, have made large milestone victories since the early to mid-1960s; changes and implemented laws and policies have since guided a movement of appeared equality. How is it then, with this appeared movement of equality,…

Brokeback Mountain strikes a deep and haunting chord, showcasing the story of people who for no good reason are not allowed to love their lives as they would. Entertain Weekly was another publication that interpreset the final science of the film as a plea for an end to homophobia. It is far from being a message movie, yet if you tear up in the magnificent final scene, its slow waltz of comfort and regret, it…
