    In the article Beware of Data is went over the Uniform Crime Report and it explained it included four types of Violent crimes, these crimes were murder/nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault, and three types of property crime such as burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. The Uniform crime report does include arson but that is on a very limited basis. This data base is very impressive with how it collect and records these crimes but at the same time like any data base it does have its flaws. These flaws are that the actual crime levels are not accurate due to not all of the crimes committed are called into police agencies to have reports filed, some of these crimes can be Rape and assaults since victims could know the suspect and they fear retribution from the suspect. To redress the weaknesses in the reports the Bureau of Justice created another data base called the National Crime Victimization Survey. This data base surveys individuals as well as households around the country asking if they have been victims of crimes over the last 6 months and if they had it collects information on what happened. This data base shows that the crime rates are a lot higher than the Uniform Crime report especially for violent crimes. This was a brief summary of what this article was going over.…

    Curley’s wife is often portrayed as lonely, “I get awful lonely”. This is because she is the only woman on the ranch and therefore nobody wants to talk to her as they all think that she is a “rattrap” and they don’t want any trouble. Consequently, the only person she can talk to is Curley; she expresses her frustration in only being able to talk to him in Section 5 when she is in the barn with Lennie “I never get to talk to nobody.” This shows that she wants to talk to someone other than Curley. Curley's wife continues to tell us about her dream of becoming a movie star. She loves the clothes “all them nice clothes” the make-up, and most of all the attention, “had pitchers took of me.” Her dream may explain why her appearance means so much to her, she wants to feel like a movie star. We find out that a man from Hollywood said he would make her famous, he told her that she was “natural” and that he would write to her as soon as he got back to Hollywood. She never received the letter and suspected that her mother stole it,“I ast her if she stole it, too, an’ she says no. So I married Curley.” She only married Curley to spite her mother who she thought was holding her back from her big break-through. It is here, in the barn with Lennie when we first find out about Curley's wife’s past, and we discover maybe there is more to her than meets the eye. She tells Lennie that Curley’s “not a nice fella”, and she says “I don’ like Curley”, this would explain why she is so lonely as Curley is the only person she can talk to and she doesn’t even like him. Steinbeck has used section five to make the reader feel compassion for Curley's wife before she is killed by…

    In life many people, groups, organizations make pacts with each other. When a person marries, a pact is formed or established between the two, man and woman. Most of the pacts are not fulfilled due to the group, individual or organizations not able to fully commit to living out the pact requirements. According to Civitas EU Facts, seventeen EU members who used the Euro funds to support their economy agreed to keep the amount of funds spending and borrow in control to assist with economic stability and growth of their respective country. The agreement was called the Euro Stability and Growth Pact. Many Eurozone members were not able to keep the rules. As a result in 2005, the rules were changed to allow flexibility among the countries and later 2011 the Pact was reformed to tighten the rules.…

    1. Describe Keller's appearance and manner. What is emphasized? Why?Keller is a short european man with grey-white hair and an arched nose. He had soft, pale, clean skin with small pudgy hands that were always manicured although he was missing a finger. He takes more pride in looking after his hands than he does about any other part of his body. He is also a very classical man. Paul finds him very fascinating.2. Of what significance is the description of the environment? What mood does it create?The environment was very dense, wet and green with trees and shrubbery growing at the back of the juggled gully leading down to the mangroves. It was filled with an unnatural greenness that looked kind of of plastic-like. There were bright butterflies everywhere as well. This creates a very calm and tranquil mood that anyone can feel comfortable in. The climate where Paul lives is either dry and hot or raining and humid, almost never in between.3. How vital is music to Paul's family? Why?Paul's parents true careers were in music and they both focused their lives around it. Making music was the most important thing to do in their household. Paul is expected to follow in their footsteps and get a career in music so his life is also focuses around it and in being the best pianist he can be. (Page 15, 16)Paul's parents, bewildered and worried about Keller's teaching techniques, still let Paul go to his weekly classes because he is still a good teacher and he had been taught by very famous pianists that were taught be even more famous pianists. Even though Keller's teaching techniques are odd, they seem to be rather effective.…
