Walking

where I come from, and how my background and culture makes me the person I am today. My cultural identity is uninhabited because I like to combine pieces that do not exactly fit; which is illustrated through my hand wraps, chicken with rice, and The Walking Dead. My hand wraps represents my culture and me. Hand wraps are a long piece of cloth that fighters wrap their hands with to avoid too much wrist…

Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are two critically acclaimed shows that are aired on the TV Network, AMC. Breaking Bad is set in New Mexico, Albuquerque. This show follows the story of a man named Walter White; who becomes diagnosed with cancer, and decides to become partners in cooking meth with former student, Jessie Pinkman. The Walking Dead is set initially in King County, Georgia; revolves around the main character, Rick Grimes, in a zombie apocalypse aftermath. Despite the fact both of…

Grimes is the wife of Rick Grimes and the mother of Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead. Lori is a wife and a mother who has been thrown into a world of chaos. What’s a mother to do, she already lost her husband who is presumed to be dead and now she only has one thing on her mind and that’s to protect her son Carl from the living dead. Lori and her family are originally from a small town in Georgia; like most of the people in The Walking Dead they traveled to Atlanta for shelter and safety. We…

The first movie that I chose to discuss is “Crash”. This movie showcased many people’s perceptions/beliefs regarding race and different cultures. Sadly this is not just in the movies, but still happening every day. We live in a free country and everyone is supposed to be afforded the same opportunities to work, be educated, and live free from prejudices and discrimination, and yet these things still occur. Why do we judge another person by the color of their skin, the language they speak, or…

Prejean’s pages 88-95 in Dead Man Walking, published in 1993 and again in 2013, is a first-person subjective narration of her experience as the spiritual advisor of Patrick Sonnier, a death row inmate. Prejean skillfully illustrates the cruelty and corruption of capital punishment in the…

Dead Man Walking Film 1) I picked this movie because I was interested in learning more about the issue of the death penalty. The plot also sounded interesting. 2) The situation in the film took place in Louisiana in 1995, and Matthew Poncelet was held in the Louisiana State Penitentiary. 3) The most prominent theme in this movie is the Life and Dignity of the Human Person. It is violated both because Matthew’s life literally gets taken away because he was sentenced to the death penalty and…

In her book Dead Man Walking, Helen Prejean had the purpose of showing why it is necessary for people to take action to fix injustice regarding several systems in American society, with her central focus ultimately being the death penalty. She achieved this by using logos, pathos, and ethos to make a well rounded appeal as to why these systems are flawed and why it is one’s responsibility to fix them. Prejean uses logos to open her readers’ eyes to the flaws with the criminal justice system…

Unjust Systems Sister Helen Prejean, in her book Dead Man Walking, uses statistics, stories of injustice, and her childhood experiences to relate discrimination and poverty in cities like New Orleans to the death penalty: both are unfair systems that need to be reformed. Prejean first demonstrates ethos, using anecdotes of her experiences as a white child in the segregated 1950’s to convince the reader of her understanding of discrimination. After ethos, Prejean uses logos in the form of…

but flourishing better than now. At the age of two, my parents took me to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, for the first time. Yes, I said national, in the little town that I grew up in that has more churches than bars. Where I grew up, the nicest gatherings were held in a horse arena. I am very proud the Celebration grounds were there to help benefit the community, others not so much, walking across dirt in white shoes with no stage to get my diploma, not my idea of high class.…

jaywalking. However studies have shown more pedestrian injuries at intersections and marked crosswalks compared to jay walking. This could be due to risky pedestrian and driver behavior (Dultz et al., 2013-4). Intuitively, walking to the post office and clinic/pharmacy had negative significant relationship with recreational walking. Contingency tables for land use associated with social walking are attached in Appendix III. 7.5. Summary…
