Arthur Volupides was a tragedy, and his death's circumstances have left many questions unanswered. Arthur's wife, Queenie Volupides, was the last person to see him alive, and she has been the focus of suspicion and scrutiny ever since. The autopsy report suggests that Arthur died from a head wound and was drunk then. Queenie claims that Arthur slipped and fell down the stairs, but there are many reasons to doubt her story. In this essay, There are compelling arguments on both sides of the debate, but the evidence suggests that she did kill him.

In the year 1981 America lost a beloved actress, Natalie Wood. Her death was ruled an accident by the original coroner, but upon further investigation the case was reopened. New evidence was discovered that changed the way the case was looked at, including conflicting reports, new analysis and new evidence.

In Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt," the character of Mr. McClean is often overlooked when discussing the responsibility for the parents' death. However, upon closer examination of the story, it becomes clear that Mr. McClean is the most responsible for the parents' demise. In this essay, I will argue that Mr. McClean is responsible for the death of the parents, providing evidence from the story to support this claim, along with counterarguments to address possible objections. Firstly, Mr. McClean's negligence and recklessness are a significant factor in the parents' death.

Part of Arthur wants to warn Guenever and Lancelot that Agravaine and Mordred are plotting their destruction, but he must go against his feelings because if he helps them in any way, he would be going against the new justice system he created for the Kingdom and would be aiding their way out of prosecution. The laws he made were created by the idea of might versus right he created a stance on during his talks with Merlyn, and following his feelings to help his friends would be going against himself and everything he stands for. Arthur, to keep his morals and laws, must let go of the people he holds most dear to him, no matter how much it
