Pleading

Every person grows older and eventually dies from some natural or unnatural cause. Unfortunately, not one living creature can escape deaths grasps, but they can strive to live every day to the fullest. Dylan Thomas’s poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” parallels this thought with its theme. Even when one gets closer to death, they should not let it keep them from bursting with life. The body may weaken, but the mind is a powerful tool to be wielded until the very last breath. Thomas’s…

Child Soldiers how should they be treated? Child soldiers, how should they be tried in court, as children or as adults? People are split on this issue, however I believe they should be tried as children. Although they’ve committed countless war crimes, they’ve been manipulated to do those things. In their trials evidence can be skewed to make them seem guilty. The situations they are in cause many to join the military, or they’re forced to. Children’s parents also sell their children to groups.…

Never have I ever been so gratified coming out of a movie theatre; let alone a scary movie. Get Out was the first of its kind to present and bring awareness to racism and social injustices in a time where it’s so prevalent in a form of a horror/thriller film. Get Out tells the story of Chris a young black male photographer who’s going to visit his white girlfriend’s family for the first time.

Power Power is word that speaks volume. It is a word that has the ability to change the people and the environment around whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. There are many types of power to be considered . We all you have the power of electricity which is the source of light, technology and more.

In the Old South, the act of slavery was routine, with many slaves and slaveholders whom affected much of the U.S. population. The author of the narrative, Frederick Douglass, was born into slavery, and travelled much of the South due to being traded from plantation to plantation. Culture in the corrupt Old South affected slaves and slaveholders in many ways: morally, socially, and economically. Although the slaves accomplished impressive amounts of work, the negative effects of the harsh trade…

not take into consideration the rise of cost of living. Therefore no evidence has been collected to prove that it cost more to put a criminal on death row. Also with the option of being sentence to life in prison with no parol, lead to more people pleading guilty; therefore reducing trials and expenses. Attorney and Co-founder of Nebraskans for the Death Penalty, Robert E. Enven argues... “The existence of the death penalty as a possible sentence leads to guilty pleas that save the money spent…

this definition for many reasons. The meal that is being cooked acts as the symbol whereas the chef of the meal acts as the sender and the person who eats the meal is the receiver.

A defendant may have several charges that they could be found guilty on if the case went to trial, whereas by accepting a…

The above passages from “Hecuba” and The Book of Job exhibit moments of suffering induced by the forces of beings in positions of power and influence. In such suffering Job and Hecuba are plagued by grief and loss of nearly all that was significant to them, save for their own lives. Of course, Hecuba and Job beg the question of “why”; why are they enduring such grief and suffering despite being relatively ‘good’ in a moral sense. The answer is never clear, if such an answer exists for these…

active role in Judah’s history. When Judah is threatened by foreign invaders, YHWH acts as the defender of His people and does not allow the enemy to advance. Later, Hezekiah falls ill and is informed that he will die very soon, but after much pleading with YHWH, he is granted 15 more years of life. The consequences of this gift are more dangerous than Hezekiah could have known because that allowed his…
