Bryan Stevenson never knew what could happen and he was full of fear of the possibility of jail time or death. Herbert Richardson was a mentally ill person who didn’t get the help he needed, and due to that, he killed little girl and was executed. During that time, the mentally ill lost most of its funding, and because of that, those who needed help couldn’t get it. Richardson and other mentally ill people didn’t have much money and lived in poverty. Without justice, the world would become nothing but poverty, despair and fear, and the only ones who wouldn’t be affected are the

The Socs think that they are better than the Greasers, so “[Greasers] get jumped by the Socs” (Hinton 2). The Greasers cannot walk anywhere alone, because it is unsafe due to the Socs attacking the lonely Greasers. Some muggings are worse than others. One time Johnny got jumped horribly.

Almost every character who comes into contact with Noah Cross ends up with a less than desirable ending. Jake Gittes must live with his biggest failure and an awful truth no one will believe, the innocent citizens of Los Angeles will not even realize that their water supply is being taken from them, and poor Hollis and Evelyn Mulray have both been killed because of a selfish, horrible plot for money. This film truly shows how common, innocent people will be pushed around and taken advantage of by the evil of the world, the cruel reality of

Such as liver failure and development of breasts. Being branded a cheat has a negative impact on not only on your career, but it also affects the individual.

Arguably being stripped of your Olympic medals has a huge effect on your personal emotions and can cause long-term psychological damage. For example,Lance Armstrong was stripped of the 7 biking titles he won as he was under the influence of performance drugs when he raced and to date has not been allowed to race again.

Is a horse considered a man’s best friend? Horses have been by our side for over six thousand years helping us and companioning our long days of evolution and work. They have most definitely become as close to us humans as any other pet would be. Other countries, however, don’t appreciate the strong bond that we have built for so long. Foreign countries have come to believe that horse’s meat is tender and delicious enough to serve on their plates!

Since there were so many “young men her father had driven away,” it can be inferred that Emily’s father was a very unwelcoming man who did not believe any male was good enough to meet the Grierson standards (Faulkner 55). As stated by Victor Strandberg, “driving away her suitors so as to keep her housekeeping services for himself, Emily 's father has ruined her chances for a normal life” (par. 3). After the death of Mr. Grierson, all that Emily had left was herself and the house because of the seclusion her father created. However, she could have willingly escaped this confinement because her father was no longer there to set rules for her. Instead, she “went out very little” (Faulkner 53).

Tom lied to George as well in order to keep his affair secret. He then ends up saving himself and killing Gatsby by blaming Myrtle 's death on Gatsby in the quote, ”He ran over Myrtle like you 'd run over a dog and never even stopped his car" (178). He explains this here, “There was nothing I could say, except the one unutterable fact that it wasn 't true” (178). Over time, the consequences begin to take effect on George and his mental health goes downhill due to the shadieness of the upper class. He goes as far as locking his wife up in a closet, “‘I 've got my wife locked in up there,’”

I admire Churchill’s courage to fight for Britain by going to war, but I feel like he could 've done something else. It creates financial problems for all the parties involved, creates sadness, resentment, and most devastatingly: people die.   If you go to war, not only are you losing money, that could be used for schools, shelter, hospitals, and food, you are exposing the lives of innocent people. War has never solved anything.

When Atticus breaks the grievous news to Scout, Aunt Alexandra and Calpurnia he says that, “Tom was tired of white men’s chances and preferred to take his own” (315). This means that Tom was tired of waiting on the white men, because they had not done anything good for him in his life. Being oblivious to the fact that Atticus could set him free he tries to escape because he does not think Atticus can do it. All in all Tom dies for no reason and represents a mockingbird because of that. Overall, Harper Lee uses characterization in To Kill a Mockingbird to show that the innocent should be protected.

Sleep is one of the most natural things for humans; without sleep we would die. After Macbeth kills Duncan, he begins to lose his ability to sleep, facing nightmares and hallucinations every time he attempts it. Loss of his ability to sleep represents Macbeth shedding a very human quality and changing into something almost inhumane. The breaking out of the stalls by the two horses represents Macbeth’s ambition being freed into action, and their eating of each other represent how Macbeth’s ambition - originally liberating - ends only with disaster and death not just for him but also for the natural world around

They had to sell everything they had. When the electricity gets shut off he worries about sending his kids away. He has to apply for public assistance and goes to

He took his already poverty induced and completely unprepared people to war against Japan. After the war Russia suffered a great deal of destruction and the people couldn’t continue to suffer the way they did for any longer. About 1000 protesters peacefully expressed their distress and were fired on when they approached the palace. Afterward the Czar created an elected “Duma” to represent the people but it had virtually no power and made almost no difference in the situations of the citizens. The supposed healer Rasputin became very influential in the palace because of his ability to heal the Czar’s son, further upsetting the people.

They were self-centered enough to destroy the Curtis Hotel without noticing how it will impact people like Simon. The government destructed the Curtis Hotel, “... he can’t bend his mind around the fact that he has no bed, his mattress buried under such a load of brick.” (228). It caused Simon to be homeless and jobless. This replacement of the Hotel doesn’t impact just Simon

The pain and hurt the person carries for the longest times decides to give up, decides to kill themselves. That only passes the pain onto someone else, such as, your mother, father, sister, or brother. I don’t know if they know how much their family cares for them. They probably feel useless and decide they’re better off dead. Nobody is better off dead.

When Rainsford had to run for his life, this traumatized him; so because of this, he will never hunt again. A third example of him being traumatized is that when ever Rainsford thought about being caught, he got a bad feeling. Rainsford became “sick and numb” when he thought about being captured (Connell 33). Now, whenever Rainsford even thinks about hunting, he will be reminded of this traumatic experience and will not hunt. A final reason that Rainsford will not hunt again because he is traumatized is, when he thought about what the General would do to him, he got really scared.
