You have to worry about a country that can look at all of that and still not see this guy for who he is. I know I’m going to get mail, I know I’m going to get ostracized, but you gotta say that because I’m worried about the country. When you look at an organization like FEMA that was passing the buck about how to just bring in normal stuff, water and food. How hard could that be? I still haven’t heard any answers that convince me that it couldn’t have been done differently” (RCP,2006, Crimes in New Orleans Section).
This statement made by Jerry to Goober at the end of The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier sums up Jerry’s experience in not conforming to the expectations of his school and his peer group. It is easier to follow the crowd than to stand up for what you believe in.

The most provident issues of the MPAA comes from its business propaganda which severs ties from public interest. The MPAA force inspires creative individuals into predefined digital confinements in order to line greedy pockets with the donations of those whose political agendas they fulfill. All of which is supposedly in the name of protecting the minds of children. The rating system simply isn’t about content, rather it’s about economic and social power. If the MPAA was truly interested in protecting the innocents of America, they wouldn’t allow children to see R-rated movies even with the accompaniment of an adult.
In the book, the Chocolate War Archie Costello throughout the book reaches levels of cruelty that are unbelievable. Archie manipulates anyone who stands in his way or anyone he simply decides is fun to manipulate. At the beginning, Archie seemed mean, but he didn't seem like a psycho; but while reading the book Archie became more and more crazy. When Archie undertakes the chocolate sale, he makes Jerry refuse the chocolates which is weird, which makes it more difficult to fulfill his responsibility. What he is really doing, however, is setting up both Jerry and Brother Leon for a tragic downfall.

In document six William Eton, a British councilman and merchant talks about his experiences in the Ottoman Empire.

Giles last words were “more weight,” he asked for the weight so his chest would be crushed and his children could get the family land. Both Giles and John passed their specific tests, Mary Warren did not however (Miller). Mary tried to defend Goody Proctor from Abigail’s accusations when Goody was to be arrested, but it did not help (Miller 1306). And after Proctor pressured Mary to tell the court that the girls were falsifying information, Abigail accused Mary of witchcraft (Miller 1317).

Obviously, Mike is honestly anxious about something. He believes our strategy with regards to Israel and Saudi Arabia, is becoming excessively unfruitful. “I’d dump the Israelis tomorrow”, he reasons that the only way towards fixing the issue of misinforming the public about the costs of war (dead Americans) is through breaking ties with Israel and deserting Saudi Arabia. People do not agree with women’s rights so let them be. Interventionism is not so far off from something like the tyrannical nature of bullies around the middle school playgrounds of the United States, poking around in other people’s business, reminiscent of authoritarian leaders of the past.
