The Kill

counterpart, Lennie, after Lennie accidentally kills a young woman. I believe that George was justified in his decision to kill Lennie. Lennie was a character who caused harm and destruction throughout the book, despite not meaning to. He also prevented George from living his life because of the way George had to take care of him and nurture him, much like a child. Because of his actions in the book, Lennie would’ve been killed in an immoral way if George didn’t kill him himself. Due to these…

There many factors that had influenced Macbeth to kill King Duncan. The sister witches, Lady Macbeth, and human nature had all played significant roles into pushing Macbeth to kill King Duncan. First and foremost are the three foul sister witches. They were responsible for planting a seed in Macbeth’s mind that would eventually drive him insane and lead him to killing King Duncan.

On average, 56 billion farm animals are killed, 3,000 animals die every second in slaughterhouses, and over 115 million animals of all species are killed in laboratory experiments throughout the year. We as a society should be protecting these animals who cannot protect themselves. Animal cruelty is the act of someone hurting or mistreating an animal and it is…

international breeding program but that didn’t give the right to kill the giraffe. His concern was if the giraffe was to be sterilized it will take up space for other animals. He should have accepted to give the giraffe to another zoo where he was going to be kept. He should have also accepted the money a man offer so he won’t kill the giraffe. I think the man wanted to kill the animal because he had a lot of options to not kill the innocent healthy giraffe. I did not agree to what he did…

These Words Will Kill Me In my life I have heard the old adage: “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never break me,” in many different contexts and phrasings, and each time I hear it I think to myself- ‘no greater a lie have I ever heard.’ Words do not need the intent of a human voice behind them, they do not need tone or inflection to make a point. Language is the greatest human tool, and like any other tool, it can build or destroy. In fact, its capacity for destruction is…
