Robert's Assassination Thesis

402 Words2 Pages

A Texas family put World War II veteran Robert McMinn to rest after he lost his fight with Parkinson's disease, but two months later they received a disturbing call about his body.

ABC7 reports the man that served his country by taking part in over 30 bombing missions above Germany was now dripping out of his casket.

The family chose the cemetery because they sold themselves using the word 'dignity' on their brochures. Doug said:

"It's unthinkable to me that a man, like my father, would go through that."
An expert explained it is possible for a body to liquefy inside a mausoleum, which is where Robert's body was placed after his death. The expert said it is rare, but poor embalming and the cause of death can cause this to happen.

    Robert F. Kennedy developed his argument about Martin Luther 's King 's assassination by giving details about somethings Martin Luther King Jr wanted to do for people. One thing is that he didn 't put Martin Luther King 's real speech, but he did an excellent thing by informing those who didn 't know about Martin 's assassination. For example one of the things he wanted to change was that all black people should have the same rights as all white people. I agree with this because no one should be treated differently everyone should be at a equal place. He had a dream that he would change all this cruelty for the best!

    Blushing, getting all hot inside with your cheeks getting a slight rosacea. This was an unbearable reality to men who killed and got killed for their country; and more than, that it was the reason for all the killing. No man wanted to be seen as a priss, too afraid to do a “man’s job” to defend his motherland. No man wanted to be left at home for others to assume he was not “strong enough” to do just that. But the sad truth was that no man wanted the world to know the truth.

  • David Mclean's Short Story 'Marine Corps Issue'

    David McLean’s short story “Marine Corps Issue” includes a beautifully vivid scene of Sergeant Bowen, the narrator Johnny’s father, “sitting on the edge of our elevated garden, black ashes from a distant fire falling lightly like snow around him” (620). While this scene is powerful by itself, it can be appreciated even more by understanding the symbolism and allusions embedded in it, as well as the psychological state of the father as he sits “on the edge of the garden with his head down and his eyes closed as if in prayer” (634). This is why McLean’s readers should use literary criticism: it enhances their appreciation for the story’s impact. Prior to the climax, Johnny has spent weeks researching the Vietnam War.
