Instead they noticed that they had a different person who was a boy named Aris. They also noticed that Teresa wasn’t there and Aris was there instead of Teresa. Teresa was the last person that was sent into the glade and she was also the only girl that was ever sent into the glade. Anyway they noticed that he was there and started asking him questions about why they were there and how did they get there. He didn’t know anything either and when he turned around and they noticed that Aris had a tattoo on the back of his neck and it said something that I can not say or there will be spoilers. …show more content…

    Examples Of Fire In The Crucible

    Fire is most commonly associated with destruction, when fire is out if control that is when the problem really starts to show. When heat is introduced to the flask in the crucible, it is most likely to break, but if you put too much heat on the flask, the flask will break. Introducing more events/ problems to the situation is like a metaphor for turning up the heat. One example of “turning up the heat” is where the whole problem start, which is when Abigail is talking to her uncle Parris and denying that her and Parris’s daughter, Betty, practiced witch craft. “You drank a charm to kill John Proctor’s wife you! You drank blood to kill Goody Proctor” (p.g 1034). This part of the play represent beginning of the fire. At this point the fire has…

    Chaim Potok's The Chosen

    Chaim Potok’s book The Chosen takes place in the 1940s and is the story of two boys trying to become and stay friends even though they are from two different Jewish sects. It is not that To Kill a Mockingbird is an awful or terrible book. While reading To Kill a Mockingbird, readers will enjoy a well-written book, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and a classic. Yet, high school students will relate more to the two main characters of The Chosen as they are 15 and in high school at the beginning of the story. The Chosen stands apart from To Kill a Mockingbird by reason of Potok’s writing style, the developed characters, and the story line.…

    New York Burning Book Report

    I can’t fathom how destitute and depressed the slaves were. Can you imagine what the slaves must have heard at night while locked in the basement? Or how they must have felt when their fellow conspirators, who may have played a more minor role in the revolt, were sentenced and then burned or roasted alive? I have been doing some reading in the Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1675-1776 that you had been telling me about.. I read about how City Hall had only recently been “updated” with better security. What a joke that is! They didn’t have security in that jail. I read an account about the new measures which consisted of wood studs and plaster. The plaster could not stop whispers from echoing the rooms. Either their plaster was much stronger than that of modern society or these new “cells” were not secure at all. Or maybe this shows the swiftness that the courts had in those times. Maybe the walls did not need to be better because the people locked inside would not be in them long enough to bust through. I read through several court proceeding notes and the majority of those accused were sentenced within a week. There was even an account of a young slave boy who was arrested and charged with being a runaway slave. The unique story of this boy was that he was arrested in the morning, charged in the afternoon, then publicly whipped…

    Scottsboro Trials Research Paper

    The Scottsboro Trials, which tried and unfairly convicted nine innocent black youths of raping two white females (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica), was a milestone in the African-American civil rights movement, primarily because of the way racism influenced the outcome of the trials. Firstly, the protests held against the convictions mobilized the movement for equal rights. This was illustrated on May 8th, 1933, ten years after the last notable African-American March on Washington, when upwards of 4,000 people marched in Washington, D.C. in a bid for freedom for the Scottsboro Boys (Simpson). This example proves that the outcome of the Scottsboro trials led to demonstrations that protested inequality and encouraged equal rights for all American citizens.…

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Trial

    “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (King, April 16, 1963) this quote was said by Martin Luther King Jr. Injustice is a synonym of the word unfairness; meaning, that injustice is when people are not being fair. In the cases of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scottsboro Boys and The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Injustice was a part of the verdict. In To kill a Mockingbird Tom Robinson was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. In the Scottsboro boys case the nine boys that were found on the train were accused by the two women that they raped the two women. In the shirtwaist fire the women were suing the owners of the building because they locked the women in and there were no exits. The women pleaded and the jury still found the owners not guilty. In the trials the Scottsboro boys, Tom Robinson and The shirt waist fire women were falsely accused of what they did. Each defendant/prosecution was accused for something they didn’t do.

    The Crucible Review

    In Arthur Miller's, The Crucible, not much was received, except for the revenge of a heart broken girl. I didn't find this play intriguing like most plays I have read before. If you want to watch a girl throw a tantrum over a guy and get rid of her rivals, then I recommend watching Mean Girls or befriend a high school queen bee, instead of reading The Crucible. Not much is offered to you other than blame and the act of revenge, which was lacked as well. In fact, the witch hysteria played a minor role and very little action were taking place.…

    Evidence In The Crucible

    The “evidences” of witchcraft used to convict witches wasn’t much. These so called “evidences” was the testimonies the witnesses had. There was no real proof besides word of mouth, so your evidence was judged on the creditability of the person who is telling the story. The evidences used in the play were the imaginations of the people who had been hurt in some way. For example, Mrs. Putnam accuses Rebecca Nurse of killing her babies during child birth. Just because Mrs. Putnam accused Rebecca, with no evidence or proof, Rebecca is questioned, put up for trial and sentenced death. Proctor sees this error within the justice system for the witch trials and speaks out upon is saying, “A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see…

    The Nuremberg Trials

    More than half a century has passed since the end of World War Two and to this day it is still difficult to fully understand the severity of what was by far the most destructive war in human history. More than sixty million people were killed during World War Two and more than half of those were innocent town’s people. Among the dead were over six million Jews, which was two thirds of the total living race in Europe at the time. Beyond these general statistics were thousands of stories of crimes committed against soldiers and civilians. These crimes against humanity included cases of prisoners of war being murdered, sent to concentration camps and abuse as well as harmless civilians being rounded up and “exterminated” in death camps. At the end of the war, the Allies (USA, France, Britain, and Russia) felt that the Germans had to be held accountable for their inhumane actions and felt justified to punish the Nazis in an international court of law. On November twentieth, 1945 the Nuremberg trials began where twenty one of the top Nazi leaders where being prosecuted for their crimes during the war. All of the Nazi defendants were considered innocent until proven guilty and were allowed to defend themselves against the charges. Some of the defendants such as Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel and Hans Frank used the defence that they were just following orders. Other defendants like Karl Doenitz and Albert Speer admitted their actions were wrong. Herman Goering believed his actions were for the greater good of Germany. After researching and gaining the knowledge of the Nuremberg Trials I believe that all six of these Nazi leaders are guilty and I think the judges decided on appropriate sentences for each of the accused. All six of these men helped lead the Germans to commit some of the most brutal crimes the world has ever seen and each of them had to face the consequences of their actions.…
