In Reagan’s eulogy Thatcher uses pathos to unite herself with the audience, through the mutual feelings of grief and sorrow over losing a friend. In the opening lines of the eulogy Thatcher creates pathos by using diction. In lines one and two Thatcher said that a “Great President… Great American… Great man….” has died. Her choice of using the word great instead of good or any other adjective, effects the audience by showing what kind of man Reagan was. Since death is a universally known topic, it is safe to say that everybody has experienced the pain of losing a great person to death.

Many counterparts can be drawn between good and evil in The Crucible, and Miller’s juxtaposition of the characters shows the audience how one person acting with integrity can influence a society for good, and vice versa. Reverend Parris is an example of somebody who is extremely concerned with his standing in Salem village. He is afraid that when the people hear

Westerberg had hired other hitchhikers but he said "they weren 't much good..." It was surprising for him to see someone so young yet with such drive and good morals. Westerberg is a compassionate man.

John Wilkes Booth took advantage of the fact that he was an actor and used that excuse to get into Ford Theater, located in Washington D.C., where he knew that President Lincoln would be with his wife and some companions, attending a comedy. As President Lincoln watched the theater performance, Booth came up from behind him and shot him in the head. President Lincoln could not be saved and was later pronounced dead. Many citizens greatly mourned his death since it was such a tragedy that ensued in a time of happiness for many; just as the Civil War had ended, his death marked the beginning of a new United States. Lincoln would not get to enjoy this new country that he had envisioned since the beginning of his presidency.

“He’s a peculiar man. You could even say that he has principals. Principals that transcend money or drugs or anything like that.” Anton Chigurh is viewed as the “bad” character. He is the character who does most of the despicable actions.

Devil’s Island On November 30th, 1933, in Seattle, Washington, Mr. Pyle turned on the gas and cut one of his wrists. A few minutes later his wife smelled the gas and found her husband who police said was “despondent over financial troubles,” and brought him to the hospital. The Great Depression influenced many crimes and suicides that were necessary for most people to commit due to their financial deprivation. Financial stress being the number one cause for this violence, made it very hard for many families to succeed during the 1920s.

Yesterday evening, I watched a film that widened my view on a subject I thought I understood well. “Monuments Men” directed by George Clooney, is not only a stunning movie filled with incredible characters, exciting events, and a beautiful message, it is even more extraordinary than that because this film was based on actual events. World War II is known for it’s tragic deaths of millions, but little is recalled about all of the artwork, monuments, and books that were stolen and destroyed in thousands, sometimes millions. This is why the Monuments Men were created, to try to save our culture and our history, so if we lived through the war, we would still have beautiful things worth living for. “Monuments Men” is about a group of art

Social Economic hardship was a key reason why a lot of officer’s part took in corruption. Officers like Chicky were once a good officer, but the economic hardship of his life led him down a path of corruption. To live struggle free, to not worry about moorage and car payments was essential. The fact officers are given a tremendous amount of authority. Officers like Dowd and Chicky were able to use that power at their disposal.

He makes Hazel this person who can’t really think a lot about one particular thing for a while her mind sort of forgets quickly. Like for example when she was watching TV and she sees her son get killed/shot and she starts to cry but doesn’t remember why she is crying to begin with. George asked her if she was crying and she just replied with a casual “Yup”(26).

At some point, he was even considered a mentor by many. On the other hand, everyone was not keen with his approaches. After every acquisition, many staffs were laid off but simultaneously, he was displaying his wealth procurement through real estate ownerships and farming. The primary focuses were to takeover and merge with other similar entities but less on time allocation for proper integration within the business environment (Treviño, L., 2005). He was spiteful with those who questioned the operations of WorldCom and was very loud with his comments toward few European companies who dared query about the company.

Mary Todd Lincoln’s description of the tragic assassination is that President Lincoln fell forward in his seat in which he sat beside her. In the booth with President Lincoln is said to have sat the First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln Major Henry Rathbone, and his fiancee Clara Harris. President Lincoln was not the only person injured at Ford’s earlier tonight. Witness reports from audience members state that Major Rathbone was stabbed by John Wilkes Booth in the attempt to stop him from escaping the Presidential Box and Ford’s Theatre alone. Dr. Charles Leale, a military officer watching the play tonight was seen rushing to the Presidential Box to see the damage that Booth had done in the balcony.

Another value that was key to the success of Louie Zamperini was society. At first Louie was a delinquent trying to find endless ways to make money even if it included stealing. When people heard the name Louie they knew it involved something bad but whenever they heard the name Pete they thought good things. People referred to them as “Pete the athlete and his no-good, troublemaking brother Louie” (Benge 26). But once Louie began running and doing well in races Torrance saw the other side of Louie.

Chapter six of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald opens with a reporter arriving at the front door of Jay Gatsby 's estate. After a short discussion about the backstory of the mysterious self-made millionaire, the reporter departs. This causes Gatsby to unload his true backstory upon Nick, explaining that he was poor for most of his life and made money through embezzlement. In chapter seven, Gatsby decides to cancel all future parties and to fire his servants. Later in the chapter, he meets Daisy’s child, Pammy, for the first time, and is shocked by the realization that Daisy truly had made a life for herself.

Rumors spread like wildfire from different people when Nick asked, “… He’s a nephew of Kaiser Wilhelm’s. That’s where all his money comes from” (35). “He killed a man once… He was a German spy during the war… He was in the American Army…” (44).

The book I chose to read for my book review was “ Killing Mr.Griffin”. It is about 5 high school students who hate their english teacher Mr. Griffin and come up with a plan to kidnap him. Their main purpose is to just torture and make Mr. Griffin think he is going to die. The plan takes a tragic turn and results in Mr. Griffin's death. The plan simply falls apart in a domino effect of terror and grief.
