  • Essay On R V Loveridge

    851 Words  | 4 Pages

    The judge had to consider various factors before sentencing Kieran Loveridge such as social disadvantage, with his upbringing being exposed to crime, physical and verbal abuse and drug and alcohol abuse and his difficulty during his education due to his juvenile activities. The courts also discussed various factors like that Kieran Loveridge did not intend to kill Thomas Kelly, the intoxication state of Kieran Loveridge although his is not a mitigating factor and that it is very unlikely that with rehabilitation Kieran Loveridge will commit another similar crime. Using these factors and a discount of 25% for the guilty plea the judge produced his sentence of 7 years and two months and a non-parole period of 5 years and 2 months. Although for amount of counts of assault and a count of manslaughter the sentence is particularly short considering the discount as well although also considering Loveridge’s social disadvantage due to being exposed to heavy amounts of violence this behaviour does not come as ‘surprising’ although this does not condemn his actions it just merely shows the courts, his need for rehabilitation. In this situation with deep analysis the decisions and sentencing upon Kieran Loveridge were fair, thus achieving justice through

    The prominent theme that the story, “The Man Who Saw Through Heaven” by Wilbur D. Steele revolves around is how people let the words of others affect/change them as deeply as they do. A pivotal point in the story that exemplifies the theme was when Mr. Krum, a Christian scientist, explained his belief to Reverend Diana about how Earth could merely be a little stone on a ring on another organism's tentacle (315). That thought altered how Reverend Diana saw the world, and Christianity. This consequently changed how he would spend the rest of his life. He replied saying “May be a--ring--a little stone--in a--a--a--ring.”

    With themes rooted in the brutality of warfare and loss of innocence, both “The Last Laugh” and “Arms and the Boy” express similar messages but in different contexts. Just as before, Owen continues to personify weapons to emphasize their true role as the war mongers rather than the soldiers themselves. Owen states, “this bayonet-blade… keen with hunger of blood” (Owen 1-2). Uniquely when compared to other instances, this use of personification explicitly defines a blade as having a hunger for blood and a desire to kill, which is implemented upon the soldier who wields it.
