This makes him hateful and hostile towards younger boys. In the beginning of act 1 juror 3 says he grew up calling his father sir, which was a sign of respect, then later in the text he brings up statement of what the man who lived below the boy and his father who heard his say he was going to kill his father; the father was known for putting his hands on the son, juror 3 says “the kid said he was going to kill him and he did kill him.” (37; act 1) with juror 3 thinking that young boys are trouble, and also knowing that the suspect and the victim had problems in their relationship people would say that this gave the boy a motive to kill his father, juror 3 has set in his mind that from knowing the young boys history and where he grew up that he could potentially kill someone.

According to Geoff Brumfiel, there was two main reasons for bombing the cities: to scare the Japanese into surrendering and to test the power of the bomb (“Why did the U.S choose Hiroshima”). The reason Hiroshima was chosen explained by historian, Alex Wellerstein, written by Brumfiel is "Hiroshima is compact," Wellerstein says. "’If you put a bomb like this in the middle of it, you end up destroying almost the entirety of the city.’” (“Why did the U.S choose Hiroshima”). Nagasaki on the other hand is a little more complicated considering it was not the original target. In an article by Alex Wellerstein, it is stated “ The initial

In the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst, creates a story about a boy named Doodle who was born with disabilities and his brother makes plans to kill him. In paragraph 5 on the first page of the story, Hurst writes, “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.” This clearly makes readers think that the narrator wants him dead, and the narrator isn’t grateful for what kind of brother he has. This clearly brings up that it was the narrator 's fault that Doodle died. He left Doodle out in the storm on purpose and ran away, the narrator had plans to kill him earlier on in the story, and everyone expected Doodle to die right when he was born. In the beginning of the story, Hurst writes , “Doodle was just about the craziest brother a boy ever had.” “He was born when I was six and was, from the outset, disappointment.

War’s outcome is fatalities of many people. This is typically due to conflict from two opposing parties, resulting in murders.

It is apparent in this quote that Boll weevil is murderous: “Then without let up, there came a rush of lively blows followed by a loud scream, a heavy thud on the floor and a scurrying of feet towards the door” (106). This quote shows that Boll weevil is capable of shooting someone (Cecil), therefore making him murderous, similarily to war.

Evidence from the novel is when Pony boy said that he was going to cut the Soc up if he got any closer when Two-Bit and him were at the gas station. An explanation of the evidence is when he pulls out the knife and threatens to stab them with it. Extra evidence from the novel that hatred from differences is the theme of this book is when Dally had gotten upset and mad at the fact that Johnny had just died and that he went out and robbed a gas station to relieve some of his anger. A further explanation of the evidence I gave is when Dally pulls out a gun on the cashier and told the man at the cash register to give him the money. The theme in the end of the novel is treat others how you wanted to be

There are reason why they committed these crimes, Jacob Ind wanted his parent dead because of the years they abused him. Torey and Brian committed the crime because they were inspired by a movie and natural killers. They also wanted to see what it felt like to take someones life.

Rumour has it, the reasoning of Allan killing John Smith is because when he was a child he was molested by a priest. This could be a solution to why he had become so violent and developed even stronger hatred towards society. By having such an unbalanced life had triggered him to want to get revenge to release his pain and hurt on everyone else. I believe Allan had just wanted everyone else to feel how he was feeling. Clearly he did not have the right coping skills and support to teach him how to deal with them.
