We Didn't Start the Fire

In 1984, Romell Broom was sentenced to death because of kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 14 year old girl. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection, and the execution attempt didn't happen until 2009. He was then injected at least 18 times before the execution attempt was stopped by the governor. Broom said that the pain was so bad he cried and screamed. His lawyers argued that he should be taken off death row, but he was left on death row (Jabali-Nash). The death penalty…

When I see her, My heart starts skipping beats, Those eyes, so calm, They’ll cool the greatest heats, When she walks by, You hear the angels sing, When you look at her, You’ll forget everything, When she smiles, The clouds just go away, And it turns into A beautiful new day, She enchants Everyone she meets, So young and fair, An angel in the streets, When you see her eyes, You don’t know what to do, A calm ocean, Of the deepest blue, And when I see her, My heart starts skipping beats, So…

“Where are we going Carmilla? It’s so cold out and we don’t even know where to start.” “Well if there is anything I’ve learned in the years of criminal justice classes’ I’ve taken. It’s that most victims never end up more than five miles out of their living area.” “Can you like, steal a car or something. So we don’t have to walk five miles out of the way?” “Out of the way? You realize that finding Laura and everyone else could be ‘out of the way’ in fucking Switzerland?” “I-I didn’t mean...” “No…

glowing. We have been alone looking for that beacon of confirmation, the survivor camps, for awhile now. Almost two years, tomorrow is the anniversary of when “The awakening” happened. We are all alone like I mentioned earlier, Bella doesn't like to talk about it, she is still in the denial stage, always telling me we will see them again, but i saw it happen and I know that we will not. My parents, that it who we as siblings have lost. It was last year, a year after “The Awakening”. We, as a…

Poor Decision Making Throughout life, we fall into circumstances where we had an outside influence from others stating what to do, and we decided not to adhere to the advice given to us. No matter how hard one tries to get something done on their own, in certain circumstances, it is a necessity to trust the wisdom and the words of others. Different experiences within life may guide us towards gaining wisdom. We cannot base every situation that we encountered with past experiences. Every…

knowledge, education, and imagination affects us as a whole society. We are shown that everyone lives in a different kind of world, whether it be by choice or force. We either live in the darkness, the ignorance of not wanting to open our mind up to other beliefs, or the light, the world where we are overflowing with education and see the world through others perspectives. Socrates explains two different worlds during Book 7. He starts by explaining the world that the prisoners in the cave are…

Even early on in this story Dahl drops slight inklings of suspicion, it starts when Billy is deciding where to stay, and he chooses the Bed & Breakfast. The author says "He pressed the bell, far away in a back room he heard it ringing and then at once, it must've been at once because he hadn't even had the time to take his finger from the bell-button, the door swung open and a women was standing there." From this…
