Louie’s Most Important Character Traits Louie was always treated like an animal, caged up so that his dignity would be broken.

Volleyball is the best sport ever. Volleyball causes people to be physically active. It also helps people become healthier. In volleyball you get to do cool actions while playing and/or practicing. First, volleyball causes people to be physically active. In order to gain points, your team has to get the ball over the net without the other team touching the ball. Your team only gets three hits to get it over the net, so you have to be physically active to gain points to win. You also have…

United States established prisoner of war camps on its soil for the first time since the Civil War during WWII. 23,000 Axis prisoners were received in 1943 to live and work in military installations and branch camps throughout the state. POW camps were put in the U.S. thanks to a british request to help solve the problems with POW housing in Great Britain. In the beginning the government resisted the idea of POW camps. The numbers expected of Italian and German prisoners created problems for…

In the movie the Dark Knight the boat scene exemplifies what Joshua Greene calls a prisoners dilemma, because it involves two groups people who are put in the situation of checks between if the citizens or criminals of Gotham should live. They are given the option of pressing the button on the detonator and blowing up opposite boat and killing all who are in it. Greene states that the prisoner's dilemma is a way to explain why a persons morals are the way they. The prisoner's dilemma involves…

In my book, Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25, the theme is teamwork. Throughout the entire book, the characters all help each other to achieve their shared goals. For example, when Michael needed a ride to Pasadena, the school bully who stayed back in school and has a license, got him there. Also, when Michael, Taylor, and Ostin started the Electroclan, they helped each other by researching what happened to them making them electrical. For these reasons, I think the following article, poem,…

“Prisoner Dilemma” is almost like a game used by the government and police departments throughout the country to show why rational individuals might or will not cooperate, even if it would be better to do so. The situation in this case is, two suspects are arrested by the police and there is not enough evidence for a conviction, the prisoners have been separated to cut off their communication with each other. They are both going to be offered a deal, if one can testify against the other and one…

“The Interrogation of Prisoner Bung”, the reader is able to see into each character’s psyche, and this ability allows the reader to distinguish what their truth was, and the truth that now remains. Mister. Hawkins, or The American as he is commonly referred to, detests the interrogation process because he does not truly like violence. “He wishes things were less complicated, and he dreads what he knows must follow. He thinks regretfully of what could have happened if the prisoner had given the…

Our athlete, John, is engaging in the motor task of setting a volleyball over a net. He is not encumbered by non-regulatory environmental constraints since the sun is hidden on this cloudy day and there are no spectators to distract, cheer, or make him nervous. John’s movement must conform to the regulatory environmental constraints regarding the size, shape, and velocity of the ball. He is moving to get into position (a mobility constraint) somewhere on a smooth, yet irregular, sandy surface…

While the movement for prisoner’s rights progressed, the male prisoners largely dominated this era (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). In fact, woman inmates had to rely on the courts to provide rights that men had already been awarded (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). A 1974 case in New Mexico showed female prisoners undoubtedly had mediocre programs and opportunities compared to males (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). The court said equal treatment for men and women was required even if the treatment was…

The book Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz is a fantastic novel. The happiest moment in the book, would be the ending. One night when Yanek was in the barrack trying to get some rest like the rest of the prisoners, they all heard a deafening explosion. For hours after they heard the explosion, they heard planes flying ahead, and a bunch of bullets being shot. When at dawn all noises seized, and they were all thankful to still be alive, and tried to get some rest figuring that there would be a roll…
