In his speech, from the episode of Game of Thrones “The Laws of God and Men” (2014), Tyrion Lannister argues that “I did not do it, I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had….”. Tyrion supports his argument by using the appeal of pathos and ethos. His purpose is release anger and hatred that has been stored up from everyone judging, discriminating and hating him. Tyrion’s audience is his family, who blamed him for the death of his mother which died during Tyrion’s birth, and all the citizens…
weakness and acts with aggression to override that weakness, Cordelia sees her tears not as weakness but as the source of her power. This characteristic is seen in the way Prince Joffrey perceives the “feminine” weakness of tears and the way Sansa Stark and his mother Queen Cersei use that so called weakness and turn it into a power. Game of Thrones can be used to support many of Khan’s points in The Absent Mother in King Lear but the two argument that are best supported by the society that…
Law and Policy Paper: Stark Law Many laws and policies that are passed into legislation focus on the ever-important topic of healthcare. From the Health Insurance and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly called the Affordable Care Act [ACA]) of today, healthcare is an issue that will forever be in the forefront of our societal concerns. However, the law I chose to discuss here is the Limitation on Certain Physician Referrals, more…
men fails to balance the act of living life and the act of taking on responsibility for his actions. Jack Burden overthought the act of taking on responsibility, and failed to act at all. Tom Stark underthought the importance of taking on responsibility, and made too many irresponsible decisions. Willie Stark over marginalized the meaning of responsibility and ultimately suffered the same way as his own son. Therefore, beyond each character specific application of responsibility, perhaps the…
victims. Undoubtedly, Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, has been portrayed as a superhero throughout The Avengers, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 movies. Tony Stark is one of the all time most popular and loved fictional characters in the superhero world. However, superheroes do not always possess good quality traits and are flawed just like Tony Stark.

the outcomes of characters, including Eddard Stark, Littlefinger and Cersei Lannister, and the contrast of cultures in his worldbuilding to effectively explore this theme. The comment that the author makes on loyalty and duty is intended to be a realistic reflection of human nature and politics, and to deviate from the clear…
stepmother. My attentive and caring father. And it wouldn't be complete without their Martell and Lannister cronies would it? Jon loved it here in the North, in Winterfell. The place, the weather, and most of all the people. His uncle, Lord Eddard Stark, whose stern demeanor hid an immensely kind heart. Lady…
arrogant; Steve was looking at him the same he’d been looking at him for years - with pure love and a exceeding amount of patience. Tony knew a lot about Steve and he knew that Steve was no fan of repeating himself and so, like so many other times, Tony Stark relented when confronted by those blue, blue eyes. His son was easy enough to spot. He was in the process of building a fully functional foosball table, a feat that would have been remarkable enough for any child: Brady was five. With…
Huey P. Long once said “Every man a king, but no one wears a crown.” this was a man that truly believed that anyone could thrive. During his time in office as a senator and Governor of Louisiana, he had ideas to fix the current depression. He developed the “Share Our Wealth” program as a new welfare program for the country. He had a close connection to the agricultural community since he grew up on a farm as a child, and then rose to high status later in life. He originally used his power…
Downtown Kansas City. It is part of Johnson County which is a fairly large county. The county itself is drastically different from the KC Metro area because it is known to be a very affluent area, especially the south half of Johnson county. Overland Park itself is one of the highest priced living areas. I chose this location one, because I live here in Overland Park, and two, because I was interested to see what resources are available to this county considering the average income and home…
