Chavis Daniels, a boy on Manassas High’s football team, was a jailbird fatherless, and an overall rough man. Despite all of his cons, he was named Manassas’ “Uncommon” Man of the year. This year I believe that I have found the perfect young man for this title. He goes by the name of Matthew Hudson, my proud stepbrother. In the next few paragraphs I will tell you why Matthew is the one for the job.
Bruce davis is now 72 years old and he looks more like a kindly grandfather than a crazed killer. If you combine the current political attitudes that elderly inmates should be given preferential treatment in California’s overcrowded positions, it’s easy to see why the California parole board voted to release Davis from prison for the fourth consecutive time. Davis became a born again christian in prison and ministered to other inmates, married a woman he met through the prison ministry and has a grown daughter. The couple recently divorced. He also earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in philosophy in

They say three aspects of a thriving society are where we’re from, who we know, and how we think. On the flip side of that coin, these very same aspects can ironically be our undoing. That delicate balance can be the difference between a life in prison and a life dedicated to others. Yes, the sobering realities of life can be harsh but it can also shape and mold us into the people that we’re destined to be. In The Other Wes Moore, The lives of two young men are examined through three distinct lenses.
This article discusses John James DeAngelo Jr.'s real life as the "Golden State Killer," a moniker he is known as. Mr. DeAngelo was born on Thursday, November 8, 1945 and is regarded as one of the worst serial killers in American history. He was a child of a broken family; and as a child, John witnessed his sister being sexually abused, which greatly influenced his behavior, which included the torturing and slaughtering of animals. When DeAngelo and his siblings were young, their mother and father both abused and neglected them. Prior to enrolling in college and obtaining a degree in criminal justice and police science, he briefly served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War.
Moore exhibits how, “… few lives hinge on any single moment or decision or circumstance,” and that there was not defining difference between him and the incarcerated man who shares his name (182). The main difference between him and the other Wes Moore is the collection of family, culture, and experience that Moore had in his upbringing. His mother and grandparents, by providing structure and the opportunity to go to private and military school, “… made it clear that they cared if [he] succeeded, and eventually so did [he]” (115). His mother and grandparents, through their constant attempts to keep Moore looking beyond his seemingly hopeless future, created expectations for him that he would ultimately want for himself. On the other hand, the other Wes Moore never seemed to have any meaningful expectations that he could seek.
David Cash was a witness to the molestation and murder of 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson. Though Cash saw this happen, instead of going to the authorities, Cash decided to keep it to himself. In an Article written by Cathy Booth, Booth states, “He told the Los Angeles Times he was not going to ‘lose sleep over somebody else’s problems’” (Booth 18-19). Cash showed no remorse for doing nothing, and was angrier for losing his friend Jeremy Strohmeyer, who committed the molestation and murder.

Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried is a collection of war stories that demonstrates the negative aspects of war, and how the roles and fantasies created for women are far from reality. Although the main focus is on the men and their experiences, O’Brien also puts importance on the way that women move away from their traditional roles - women who are idealized and completely separate from the war and the soldiers’ circumstances and who will be ready to welcome their courageous lovers if they return from the war. Moreover, specifically with one of the female characters, O’Brien shows that similar to the male characters, the women are heavily influenced by the çulture and hostile environment. In summary, through the difference between female

he refers to Jupiter as his precedent, the eldest son of heavenly Ops, who thrust his doting father from his chair.

It is important to realise that for Tamburlaine all aspects of life contribute to the achievement of his goal, the enhancement of his own supremacy. Even his language of love is closely associated with that of war, using the same flamboyant tropes and hyperbole.
