    Walter White In Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad

    Walter White is an underachieving high school chemistry teacher from New Mexico who is diagnosed with lung cancer. After the brutal diagnosis, he begins manufacturing crystal methamphetamine to provide for chemo and his family upon his death. In the ‘Pilot’, it is Walter’s 50th birthday, Skyler, Walter’s wife, makes him a plate of eggs topped by veggie bacon spelling out "50”. Shortly afterwards, Walter drops off Walter White Junior, Walter’s teenage son who was born with cerebral palsy, at the same local high school where he works as a chemistry teacher. Later that day, one of Walt's more disrespectful students, Chad, witnesses him working a second job at a car wash for additional income. Chad quickly takes a picture of Walter cleaning his car on his cell phone and states “Makes those tires shine, huh?”. Chad’s girlfriend who is on the phone with someone comments “Oh my God! You will not believe who’s cleaning Chad’s car”. Walter, who is clearly humiliated, continues to clean the wheel. In this situation Chad and his girlfriend were putting Walter under the stereotype that he was just a lame chemistry teacher who taught them about unnecessary science. As a result, when they saw him working another job that was more embarrassing, they were shocked. This caused Chad to take the picture of Walter and make those comments to him. If Chad and his girlfriend did not think he was just a boring chemistry teacher, they would not have been shocked to see him at the car wash. Subsequently, Walter comes home to a surprise birthday party and during the party Hank, Walter’s brother-in-law who is a DEA agent, invites Walter to accompany him at a drug…

    Breaking Bad Analysis

    Trying to recognize and identify the exact pivotal moment that marks White’s transition from a protagonist into an “antagonist” becomes problematic. Vince Gilligan’s portrayal of the protagonist, Walter White, takes on the role of being an “antagonist,” which in any narrative is the character or force that perceives as an opposing force to the protagonist. While White gets corrupted by unchecked greed, Gilligan throws in phrases like “I am doing this for my family,”“I only needed enough for his family,” and “I just want what is best for our family” to remind the audience of White’s initial moral reasoning behind his illegal crimes. While none of his plans go as he intended, an antagonistic alter ego arises out of Walter White as his goals begin derailing from his morals, and his morals begin to…

    Criminal Minds

    The character “Morgan” played by shemar moore in the T V series Criminal Minds took on a case involving a serial killer who uses two type of guns to kill his victims, the killer is finding his victims threw gangs what he would do is call in the police and ambush the police when they were on sight wounding sometimes killing the police officers the criminal minds team are in a small town in Arizona they are confused about why the killer is using gangs to cover his tracks, the police are baffled and are in a uprage about there fellow officers being gunned down in broad day light, they have the whole town on alert looking for and asking for help in regards to the police killings, the gangs in the neighborhood are unwilling to help the police solve or even figure out who this person is back at head quarter “baby doll” as morgan calls her looks up and tracks down possible leads to help solve the mystery of the serial killer, the criminal minds team is having problems controlling the police department , the officers want to go after the gangs and especially and certain gang with the gang leader name play boy the suspect that the police thinks did it is brought into custody by the police and questioned the criminal mind team believes that this is a major mistake that this could give the unsub time to change his main objective, this story of course ends with the criminal minds team finding the suspect and taking him into custody while he is in custody the gang that the police was harassing kills the suspect for payback for them being harassed and accused of the crime, the main points of the movie that I chose was why do people kill is this something mentally that makes them feel good or is this something inside of them that makes them do horrible acts of violence, I am curious and very objective to how a serial killer chooses his victims some serial killers just choose victims of opportunity by them driving around, people walking alone, why don’t more people be more subjective to there surrounding especially if they are out late at night, I will have to strongly agree about a text that was written by “frank schmalleger Criminal Justice” about that most victims are the criminals reflecting back on statements of a high percentage of victims are actually the criminals, even when you do everything right, meaning abide by the rules of the law there is always a certain percentage that you could become the victim, always keep your head on a swivel observing everything afoot, the more we as a people are more observant and caring and looking out for the next person we as a people can be more in tuned to our everyday life and therefore live a righteous and blissful life.the life we have and use need to be cherish more and people who do not become more aware of there surroundings could become victims themselves, yes I do understand that we cannot read the future or tell the outcome that may come but we can be more observant.…
