Walt came running in with a gun and he was in shocked, he asked where Sue was but when we called her she didn’t answer. Later in the night she came home all bloody and bruises everywhere, everyone knew what happened to her and It was disgusting. Walt was in shocked and ran back to his house.

Joseph, at the age of eighty six, still would wake up during the night crying over the german boy he killed and claimed that specific memory the saddest in his lifetime. In the war in those woods he slowly lost his sanity and it haunted him till he pass away. “Dallaire left Rwanda...He returned to Canada, where he was promoted...but the spirits followed him...he was too afraid even to go into his bedroom. He moved office furniture into his living room” and Dallaire states,‘“I’m not the same man I was, the man my wife married”’(Lawson). After Rwanda and seeing so many people die, Dallaire is no longer who he used to be which slowly destroys his home and work environment.

Another guy I knew really did threaten to have his personal enemies killed by hired gunmen after the war” (Vonnegut 1). Paul Lazzaro, the new identity given to an actual fellow POW, tells Billy that anyone who tries to touch him should kill him, lest Lazzaro have them killed in return (Vonnegut 175). Billy, after surviving the dreadful events of the novel that far, was just as traumatized by Lazzaro’s story of revenge against a dog. Similarly, he later reminisces about “the poor old high school teacher, Edgar Derby,” who was caught “with a teapot he had taken from the catacombs” before being “tried and shot” (Vonnegut 274). These parallels of Pilgrim and Vonnegut highlight the events of both men 's lives,

From his parents, he barely gained the warmth of being in a complete family.

He hates that worse than getting whipped…If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are” (Hinton P.12), we can clearly known that Johnny’s parents were extraordinarily violent to Johnny. Due to the charac- teristic of Johnny’s father, the hereditary gene of violence affected fixed some of Johnny’s personal- ity. Also, Johnny was only the one who serves as a vent to his parents’ anger.

The Tragic Life of Emmett Till Emmett Till’s deformed body lead to a new idea. The new idea was like a spark to tinder.

This issue got everyone really worried, sad, but also mad because every single day that passed, his kids, wife, and even his elderly parents kept telling him to stop smoking. What made his situation worse was that not only he smoked, but he also drank alcohol every single night. That made his liver get really useless and in a bad condition.

He had not only killed 1 pig, but 2! He was persistent, and was he not going to stop until he ate that third little pig. The wolf already had feasted on 2 pigs, but he was greedy and wanted more. “...the wolf came down the chimney, he fell into a pot of boiling water and boiled all up” (Orchard). If he would have been content with the two

The Grand Inquisitor, a 90 year old man, also witnessed these acts and becomes angry. Enraged, he orders the guards to arrest him. All the people fear the Inquisitor, since he is the ruler and has been for many years, burning those at the stake who do not follow the organization of the church. Alyosha does not speak much, but does wonder why his brother would write such a poem. Ivan 's poem criticizes Christ for rejecting the three temptations offered by satan.
