The Justice Gamewritten Textual Analysis
Textual form has heavily shaped my own understanding of conflicting perspectives through the way people’s opinions and perspectives are displayed through the use of language techniques such as satire and theconstant juxtaposing of emotions, storytelling and the discernment of others perspectives. The Justice Gamewritten by Geoffrey Robertson is a personal account of high profile cases that he himself personally attendedand defended the all too commonly marginalised as Robertson saw himself on more than one occasion ‘as thecarrier of the banner for alternate society’.

    How Successful Was Peel as Leader of the Conservative Party Up to 1841?

    It is undeniable that between December 1832 and the election of 1841, under the leadership of Peel, the Tory party enjoyed a revival in terms of its popularity and organisation, under the leader ship of Robert Peel. Although some historians believe that this success can mainly be attributed to the actions of Peel, such as the Tamworth Manifesto, strong evidence, argued by reputed historians such as Eric Evans exists to suggest that the successes of the Conservative Party in the 1830’s can only partially be attributed to Peel himself.…

    My Board Game Literary Analysis

    My board game is based on the book Legend by Marie Lu. The actual game is based on the plot from the beginning of the book up until right before Day’s mom is killed. The board and it's complexities is a lightened way of showing the hardships and sorrows that day faced all to get his brother a vial of plague cure. Three important literary elements they my board game reflects are plot, theme, and tone. Some of the smaller literary elements shown in the game are setting; Los Angeles, California this is reflected by an image of a destroyed monument of LA. Also, point of view which alternates between June and Day is reflected by the two characters being two of the four characters that you can be in my game. Another literary element that is paralleled…

    Heroism In Terry And 8th Juror

    When there is suppression and exploitation of voices, standing up to a group can prove to be difficult to the unrecognised heroes. Both Terry and 8th Juror, the protagonists in the texts experience self-doubt in their journey to heroism through daring actions that eventually getting them to success. Whilst the reader can identify the initial courage in 8th Juror voting ‘not guilty,’ against the opposing jurors and the majority bias, the reader can note through the stage directions his anxiousness leading up to revealing his vote “The 8th Juror turns, startled.” He’s logical sense came forward unlike the biased and lazy judgement of the other jurors. “There were eleven votes for “guilty.” It’s not easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy…

    Don T Cash Crop On My Cornrows By Amandlla Stenberg

    There are many ways to describe a topic or an event. Authors, for example, have their own unique style to present their argument when faced with a group of listeners. This unique style that accompanies every author can be announced in various forms of expression, such as statistics, social media, and artistic perspective to show their ideas as well as their opinions. The fact that pictures have no words makes it one of the best ways of persuasion because it can be interpreted in many different ways. In addition, these interpretations have no boundaries because none of them can be considered wrong.…

    offrey Robertson’s non-fiction text, The Justice Game, is a clear example of a composer deliberately selecting and emphasising various facts and events in order to influence a reader. Through The Justice Game, Robertson presents his perspective of the British legal system, which he believes to be archaic and unjust, with too much potential for the transgression of human rights, through an evidently biased, subjective view, using the techniques of selection and omission to highlight various arguments to persuade readers. The Trials of Oz recounts the obscenity trials of the editors of Oz Magazine, highlighting the issues of freedom of speech and censorship, as well as the overarching concept of conflicting perspectives which are inherently present in every event or situation. The conflicting perspectives that are present in this case are instantly clear, as the avant-garde editors of Oz are challenged by the significantly more conservative character of Judge Argyle, whom Robertson views as a personification of the legal system. Judge Argyle, who presided over the case, is immediately presented in an unfavourable light, characterised as a conservative, out-of-touch and perhaps backward man, who Robertson implies sees his judgeship as “a career consolation for the Tory MP he had tried several times to become”. In his recount of the trials of Oz, Robertson expresses disdain for Judge Argyle, describing him in a condescending, sarcastic tone, effectively mocking how old-fashioned Argyle is- for example, highlighting his lack of familiarity of contemporary colloquial, “revolutionary” language, when Judge Argyle confuses the term “right on” with “write on”. In contrast, a more progressive value system and way of thinking is epitomised in the editors of Oz, which Robertson emphasises through pop culture references, such as to the iconic singer Bob Dylan, to appeal to a progressive audience. Hence through The Trials of Oz, Robertson clearly establishes his perspective,…

    Law and Conflicting Perspectives

    As society develops, along with it come the changes in values and beliefs this is evident in The Trials of Oz which displays the differing attitudes and conflicting perspectives between generation gaps. The" Trials of Oz's" 'Rupert Bear' was one of great offence in Robertson's time, whereas today material similar to this is everywhere and is mostly socially acceptable which parallely reflect the beliefs of freedom of speech and individuality growing within society. Robertson himself believed these values which is evident in his view put across in a metaphor for describing the legal system as “ the justice game” revealing the lack of freedom of speech and individuality acknowledgement within it, which is reinforced through the chapter through repetition, arising questions for the responder. In the Trials Of Oz, Robertson uses persuasive language to describe the defendants as “honest young men” and to characterise Oz as a “harmless coffee-table magazine for the revolution that would never happen”. This skilful manipulation of language influences the audience to side with Robertson in his…

    Is The Conservative Party Exists To Conserve?

    “The Conservative Party exists to conserve”, but what exactly does it desire to conserve? According to Samuel Huntington, conservatism wishes to justify the established order (Huntington, 1957, p. 455). This established order was, when the Conservative Party was founded in the 1830s, an elitist order that justifies income inequality by saying it is natural and inevitable (Dorey, 2011, p. 5). When the franchise expanded and the working class became represented, the Conservative Party did not disappear from the political field, but flourished and is currently in government as one of the most prominent parties in the United Kingdom. Various factors explain this possibly unexpected success and this essay aims discuss the most…

    Perspective In Kate Chopin's The Story Of An Hour

    In life, difference invites controversy. People discuss and observe difference daily on many levels, but no matter where you are, “personal” differences are a source of animated discussion. The poem What do we do with a Variation? by James Berry explains an abundance of ways that people can chose to deal with a difference. Our discussion in class of this poem centered on this relation between differences and individual perspective. The key lesson is that perspective is personal: just because you make a choice based on your perspective does not mean it’s always the right thing or truthful.…

    They Say I Say Summary

    In the introduction to “They say/I say”: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates designed to engage students to critically and academically think at the college level and in life. Specifically, Graff and Birkenstein argue that the types of writing templates they offer students the necessary means to formulate and structure their writing in an effective manner. As the authors themselves put it, "the underlying structure of effective academic writing--and of responsible public discourse--resides not just in stating our own ideas, but in listening closely to others around us, summarizing their views in a way that they will recognize, and responding with our own ideas in kind." Although some…

    On Being Conservative By Michael Oakeshott Analysis

    Michael Oakeshott was an Englishman born into the political turbulent era of 20th century, growing up exposed to a variety of political extremism in Europe, especially National Socialism and Marxism, along with two World Wars. As a result, he developed a dislike of radical political activism. This aversion is expressed in his work “On being Conservative,” where Oakeshott offers a unique political work that, instead of suggesting a prescriptive aid or explaining a political system, simply describes the conservative mindset. By doing so, he demystifies the conservative disposition during an era in which he believes is strongly anti-conservative in order to show its necessity in the world of politics.…

    How People Perceive Differently

    Many people perceive thoughts differently because they all have different view of the world. After reading the text, Communications in a Changing World, I learned how people can interpret things differently. There are steps of perception everyone goes through which includes interpretation, selection, and organization. As I showed a picture to three different people, they all had different words that described the picture and this explains how people perceive thoughts differently.…

    Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

    In the legendary interminable case of “Jarndyce Vs Jarndyce” in Dickens’ “The Bleak House”, characters have grown old, been born into, married into, and been divorced from various plaintiffs and defendants and awaited judgement with fond hope as if to The Last Day of Judgement. In this novel, Charles Dickens brings forth a long-running litigation which is an embodiment of the failures of the Chancery. His depiction of the judiciary as slow and arcane helped to spur an ongoing movement that later led to remarkable legal reforms in the Eighteenth century England. But even now, in the Twenty-first century, the same trend continues. Pendency has been an all-time dilemma in legal system which is detrimental for the people seeking justice. John Jarndyce, a character in the novel, finds the entire process of court proceedings tiresome and tries to have as little to do with it as he possibly can. He is the perfect epitome of the present-day common people who preferably stay away from the court in fear of losing their lifetime savings to their unending case.…
