Jerry Maddox's Argumentative Essay
If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice. Jerry Maddox deserves to pay for his horrendous crime. One reason is so he can’t do it again. No one said that he wouldn’t try again on another unlucky person, and this time he may do worse. Second, he needs to learn a lesson, because no one in town has been able to teach one

    In an article written by Lauren Suval she goes into depth about the insecurities in relationships caused by social media and states, “If your significant other has hundreds of Twitter followers, and many of them are opposite sex, getting jealous over something as trivial as having a social media account is not so far-fetched.

That can lead to a number of worrisome thoughts by one partner and cause unnecessary strain on a relationship.”(Suval) In an article by Psychology Today, it discusses how social media gets in the way of past relationships they never seem to be forgotten.

    Jerome Murdough, a fifty-six-year-old ex-Marine, was looking for a safe place to sleep in 2013, when he was arrested and charged with trespassing. He was fined over two thousand dollars and, due to his insufficient funds, was sent to Rikers Island—where he met his end. Murdough was in the suicide watch section of the prison due to a history of mental illnesses and was supposed to be periodically checked every fifteen minutes. Autopsies show that he likely died of heatstroke or severe dehydration, which conveys that he was not checked according to protocol (Pearson 1). Jerome Murdough’s death provides dismal insight into the future of the homeless if we continue to make their life-sustaining actions, such as finding a safe place to sleep, illegal…
