The only friend he had was a girl one year younger than him, a lady named, Abby, she had red hair and silver colored eyes. She knew how to get to the deep web. Tom took upon her guidance, she gave him a crash course on how to navigate through the deep web. Tom downloaded a browser called Tor, went to a suggested site on how to start, but one thing that stuck to Tom was to be patient. He mainly found very little information, he found things that wouldn’t be suitable to say for this story. Some of the more minor things that I can say are lower prices for electronics, and guns for sale. The dark net changes constantly, mainly the reason being is that so people can’t be caught trying to sell and pirated products. For months Tom would search the dark web, but one day he found a forum where people were talking about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Completely unrelated to the conversation that was going on he typed, “Power over death.”, it took about thirty seconds for somebody to reply. Responding to his words the other person on the forum said “Yes, open private chat.” As soon as the Tom saw this he made a private chat, then inviting the person onto his own forum. Tom and the person went back and forth exchanging questions, such as, how would I know if you are legit, how do you know, etc. all the person replied was, yes and no answers. But the one command
Norman Doidge’s essay “The Suit,” was an extremely emotional piece and reminded me of the sorrows associated to death. Doidge had used pathos in his piece through the memories of the father, I found this to be very useful in drawing emotion from the readers. In the piece the uncle constantly brought dos tories about the dead father and the suit, and eventually he reveals that the father of the boy had died in the suit. He also continues to say that even through his brother’s brain was dead, his heart lived for days. This portion of the text really struck me, since my uncle had passed away a few years ago in an incident that caused him severe brain damage, his brain had perished but his heart had beaten for days.
The cases of Pervis Payne, Walter McMillian, and Jefferson from the novel ‘A Lesson Before Dying" are prime examples of the corrupt justice that is so deeply rooted in the judicial system. All three of these men were held in unfair court trials in which all odds were stacked against them. Each of these cases has its own unique story, but ultimately, they all expose the unjust violations of human and civil rights in court systems. Pervis Payne was a Tennessee man who, on June 27, 1987, on a Saturday, was unfairly accused of the attempted rape of his girlfriend’s neighbor, Charisse Christopher, and the murder of Charisse and her two-year-old daughter, Lacie Jo. Due to the fact that there was no clear motive or reason for Payne to commit such
A Lesson Before Dying In the book A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines, the character Grant Wiggins undergoes a significant change throughout the story. At the novel's beginning, Grant is a school teacher frustrated by his inability to make a real difference in the lives of his students. The lack of change he can cause, causes him to see no purpose in his work and life. However, at the end of the book, by teaching Jefferson his worth, Grant also discovers his purpose in life and his ability to affect change in his community. This reveals the theme that when a person with no purpose opens himself to empathy and service as a result of human connection, he discovers a sense of purpose and can affect change in others.
ID#513295 who entered the trailer to locate the body and declared time of death at 1934 hours. Roberts did not disturb the body, nor the scene. The deceased was later identified by his Florida Drivers License as William Gilley. I spoke with the property managers Mike Kenny, and Brian Fannon. Kenny advised they received a call from Gilley's boss who grew concerned when he had called out sick and then did not show up for work on 10/22/15 when he was scheduled.
Each and every time my mother responded either by doing what I asked, like cuddling with me, or by answering my questions and saying, “You were deathly allergic to an antibiotic they gave you. You can’t leave just yet. Who’s Brunner? You missed the volleyball game last night and the girls are worried about you. Today’s Friday Jocey.
Life has been celebrated and death has been mourned since the begining of time. The certainty of life and death can be seen as tragic or necessary. There is no way to get used to either of these things occurring because the loss of every person important to us causes pain and allows us to reevaluate what our life looks like without them. In the novel, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, the author portrays the emotional aftermath of death on those still living by introducing differing viewpionts to show the massive impact culture and age has on the acceptance of the inevitable. It is always tragic when a child outlives their parents, or even when an adult loses someone close to them.
“We found him last night, Jason. He was just lying there and we thought he was asleep,” explained Mrs. Witt, bawling her eyes out. “What happened to him? Is he okay?” I inquired.

Stood at the foot of a bed, on a sunny late July afternoon, I watched someone die. It happened in a small beige dormered room with blue carpet, cheap knocked about pine furniture and a large hospital grade bed. Family pictures were randomly placed on the walls and an old NHS red battered wheelchair was folded up in the corner. My partner’s father, not long past his 75th birthday, lay in the bed gasping for air; his one good eye unfocused and I noticed that the for the first time in the ten years that I had known him the TV was off.
LOSS, GRIEF AND HEALING As human beings, we suffer losses of many kinds and sizes in our life time. While some of these losses are small and do not hurt much, some are big and hurt deeply. Those that are accompanied by pains that are difficult to bear include the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, cheating or unfaithfulness in a trusted relationship or loss of good health when a diagnosis of a terminal illness is made. In all these instances of loss, pain and grief are experienced and an emotional wound is created which needs healing.
Boom! As soon as I let that ball go, I knew instantly it was a kill. The libero, the best passer on the team, just watched that ball drop right in front of her. The whole team was shocked that an 12 year old could hit that hard. It was the big Southeast Qualifier tournament, the biggest and the last tournament of the season, so I had to end it on a good note.
As everyone knows, death is inevitable. For most people, they don’t get any say on how or when they died. I think that each person probably has a different idea of what a “ good way” way to die looks like. However I think that a lot of people would be pretty similar in nature. A good way to die for me would be after I have lived a long and productive life.
Everyone I know is dying, the last 2 weeks have been a nightmare. It started with five Hoxton, Bricot, Pier, Geffrey and Geronim. After two days of being on the ship, they all fell ill with a terrible fever. They wouldn’t heal even after a week of resting, we knew something was terribly wrong when we saw the black boils. We moved all of the food and supplies out of the cellar and carried the disease ridden people into it and locked it.
Social media structure affects how death is presented, but the process is not fully achieved until it incites a reaction in the person who views the contentious form of media. This has been made possible through reaction videos that capitalize on the visceral responses of the viewer. Death conscious on 4chan is able to transform from virtual to real as structures on YouTube make the process of viewing and assimilating with visceral reactions from death drive easy with the click of a button. YouTube has been described by critics as allowing free expression, but this sense of ‘freedom’ is guided by the force of popularity on issues that are trending on other social sites like Facebook and Twitter (Juhasz 146). This includes the circulation of gruesome detail found in mass shootings.
In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 1981 novella Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the narrative recounts the events leading up to the eventual murder of bachelor Santiago Nasar, a man accused of taking the virginity of the defrocked bride Angela Vicario despite the lack of evidence to prove the claim, and the reactions of the citizens who knew of the arrangement to sacrifice Nasar for the sake of honor. This highly intricate novella incorporates a range of literary techniques, all of which are for the readers to determine who is really to blame for Santiago Nasar’s death. Marquez uses techniques such as foreshadowing and the structure of narrative, along with themes such as violence, religion, and guilt to address the question of blame. Although Santiago
