...Literary Analysis Essay Miro, one of the main characters from Robert Cormier’s novel, After the First death, comes from and fights for a country that was never exactly described throughout the book. Although, the author did leave behind a few clues that help the reader picture certain possibilities. Due to the time the book was published and Miro’s description of his childhood, it is possible to affirm that Miro, Artkin and the rest of the terrorists originate from a Middle Eastern country. A major possibility is Palestine; a country that no longer exists due to the fact its population got banished and lived on in refugee camps. In the other hand, due to the lack of details on the book’s setting, it is impossible to fully confirm Miro’s true nationality. Several details scattered in the book can be used to explain Miro’s origins. One important detail is his description of how women dress in his country. He describes these as beautiful though delicately veiled which suggests women concealed their bodies (pg. 25). This might hint where Miro comes from since women in Middle Eastern countries tend to conceal their bodies with burkas or, in other words, veils. Another hint might be the setting of his childhood. Miro says it takes place in a location submerged in ruble and destruction and where people had to live in refugee camps (pg. 121). This suggests that his homeland was possibly damaged by war and that his people were expelled from their land. Other evidence of this assumption...

...his internship under the tutelage of the Fat Man, a second year resident who has some crazy ideas as to how to take care of patients. According to the Fat Man, there are two types of patients: the dying young and gomers. Gomers are elderly, demented patients from outside nursing homes who barely qualify as being human and who, the Fat Man says, never die. Only the young are sick enough to die at the House of God. Roy starts his internship fairly scared. He meets his fellow interns, Potts, Hyper Hooper, Chuck, Eat My Dust Eddy and the Runt—all scared and new to internship and patient care. Roy gets assigned duty with Chuck and Potts under the Fat Man on an internal medicine ward. Each takes turns being on call, and he is third in line the first week. Before being on call, he learns of several of the Fat Man's rules like "Gomers never die" and "Gomers go to ground". He learns about the hierarchy of the House of God—from private doctors down to the lowly intern. He learns about "buffing" charts so they make the patient and the doctor look good and about "turfing" patients—sending them...

...Plot Overview A ghost resembling the recently deceased King of Denmark stalks the ramparts of Elsinore, the royal castle. Terrified guardsmen convince a skeptical nobleman, Horatio, to watch with them. When he sees the ghost, he decides they should tell Hamlet, the dead King's son. Hamlet is also the nephew of the present King, Claudius, who not only assumed his dead brother's crown but also married his widow, Gertrude. Claudius seems an able King, easily handling the threat of the Norwegian Prince Fortinbras. But Hamlet is furious about Gertrude's marriage to Claudius. Hamlet meets the ghost, which claims to be the spirit of his father, murdered by Claudius. Hamlet quickly accepts the ghost's command to seek revenge. Yet Hamlet is uncertain if what the ghost said is true. He delays his revenge and begins to act half-mad, contemplate suicide, and becomes furious at all women. The Lord Chamberlain, Polonius, concludes that Hamlet's behavior comes from lovesickness for Ophelia, Polonius's daughter. Claudius and Gertrude summon two of Hamlet's old friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to find out what's wrong with him. As Polonius develops a plot to spy on a meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia, Hamlet develops a plot of his own: to have a recently arrived troupe of actors put on a play that resembles Claudius's alleged murder of Old Hamlet, and watch Claudius's reaction. Polonius and Claudius spy on the meeting between Ophelia and Hamlet, during which Hamlet flies into a rage against...

...Alvaro Barsallo Ms. Morrow ENC1102 9/28/2014 A Look at “A Rose for Emily” “A Rose for Emily” is a short story by William Faulkner. It is the story of an old southern woman called Emily who lives only with her servant in an old mansion after her father dies; she never goes out and is rarely seen by the townspeople. Nobody in the town knows that she’s keeping a macabre secret inside her room. I chose this story in particular because I’m a huge fan of The Zombies and music from the sixties in general. In The Zombies’ album Odessey and Oracle, there is a short retelling of the story and that is the only version of the story I have ever heard before reading the actual story in class recently. The story is divided in five parts. In the first part of the story, the narrator recalls the time of Emily’s death and how the whole town attends her funeral in her old dilapidated home. We are told how the previous mayor, a man in his eighties, has retracted Emily’s taxes after her father’s death. When the new younger generation town leaders take over they try to make her pay taxes but she gets her way and successfully gets rid of these officials. In the second part, the narrator describes how thirty years earlier, Emily’s house started to smell horrible. The younger officials sprinkle lime along the foundation to appease the townspeople who are complaining of the odor. The narrator gives us a clue about Emily’s state of mind by telling us the Emily’s great aunt had succumbed to mental...

...Romeo and Juliet Analysis The topic I chose for my analysis is death and death's premonitions. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, there were many deaths that took place. The first death that took place was Mercutio's death. Tybalt was furious because Romeo showed up to the Capulet's house party. Tybalt tried to kill Romeo, but Romeo did not want to fight back because he was married to Juliet. Mercutio couldn't stand the fact that Tybalt was beating Romeo to death, so he stepped in trying to keep peace between the two boys. Mercutio's blood drips onto Romeo's hand as he falls under Tybalt's sword. After Mercutio's death, Romeo wanted to take avenge for his best friend. He killed Tybalt and was then exiled from Verona. All of these events lead to Romeo and Juliet's death also. When Romeo saw Juliet laying on her deathbed, he killed himself because he wanted to join her. When Juliet woke up from her temporary death, she saw her love laying besides her, dead. In result of that, she also kills herself. You could see how one death affected so many people's lives after that. The handful of deaths were foretold by the characters at one point. When Mercutio invited Romeo to the Capulet's party, he knew it wasn't an articulate choice. Romeo had a nightmare that there would be two untimely deaths that would happen and his instinct was to not go to the party. When Mercutio died in Romeo's arm, he shouted out, ''A plague on both your houses...", which kind of was a foreshadow...

Outline II. Introduction A. Opening Statement B. Author Information III. Body A. Section One B. Section Two C. Section Three D. Section Four E. Section Five IV. Conclusion V. Works Cited OPENING STATEMENT William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is the story of an eccentric spinster, Emily Grierson. Emily lived a luxurious life in a poor southern state, obeying her overbearing father until her ultimate death. “A Rose for Emily” begins with the death of Miss Emily Grierson and proceeds to tell the story of her life in the years leading up to her death and the horrible secret she has kept hidden. The story is told from the point of view of a nameless narrator and a longtime citizen of Jefferson, Mississippi. He notes that while the men attend the funeral out of obligation, the women go primarily because no one has been in, nor seen the inside of Emily’s house for years. It should also be noted that Jefferson is a critical setting in much of Faulkner’s fiction. The story is told in five sections, and opens in section one with an unnamed narrator describing the funeral of Miss Emily Grierson. The narrator not only speaks for himself but also represents the community at large. The story continues on through section five where the narrator describes what...

...of decomposition begins immediately after death and the process can be divided into five stages: fresh, bloated, decay, post-decay and skeletal. Therefore, the availability of tissues and blood samples for toxicological analysis is dependent on the state of decomposition. There are cases where blood and tissue samples are not available or suitable for analysis, the fly larvae found on the cadaver can be used as an alternative toxicological specimen. Successful detection of substances has been accomplished by several extraction methods from maggots, pupae and adults of Diptera and even from the feces of beetles (Miller et al. 1994). Bourel et al. (2001) conducted a study which showed that morphine was detected on third larval instar maggots of Calliphora vicina Linnaeus (Diptera: Calliphoridae) fed with an artificial diet mixed with the drug. This shows that morphine was stored inside the cuticle of the maggots during their development. However, the detection of diethylpropion (Inebex) showed negative result in larvae of Chrysomya megacephala and Chrysomya putoria suggesting the rapid excretion of drugs (Alves et al.2008). Insect succession Insect succession is the wave or pattern of insects’ colonization on dead remains and is also affected by the surrounding environment. Invasion of a body by insects and other arthropods occurs soon after death (Anderson and Goff, 2000). They are capable to arrive and colonized within minutes of the death (Wells and Lamotte 2001). It is not...

...Analysis of the Homicide Trial of Jodi Arias By Robert Davis Professor Lauren Burke CCJS 100 6382 University of Maryland University College March 8, 2013 Robert Davis Professor Burke CCJS 100 March 8, 2013 Analysis of the Homicide Trial of Jodi Arias The criminal justice system ensures the safety and protection of society from criminal offenders. The process of the criminal justice system begins when a criminal offense is reported to law enforcement officials. If required, an investigation begins, leading to a warrant and arrest. Following the arrest, bail is set and a preliminary hearing is scheduled. If the defendant is indicted, a trial date is set. Providing the defendant does not waive the right to a jury trial, a jury is selected and the trial begins. If the defendant is found guilty, a sentence is imposed, usually within a few days of the jury’s verdict. If the defendant wishes, he or she can then appeal the guilty verdict and sentencing, thus beginning the trial process again. Police officers, detectives, prosecutors, and defense attorneys make great efforts to ensure justice is served swiftly and fairly, thus creating a strong and effective criminal justice system. Description of the Crime Jodi Arias was arrested in July 2008 for the brutal murder of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Travis was stabbed twenty-seven times; his throat was cut, and he was shot in the head in his Mesa, Arizona home. Jodi and Travis met at a Prepaid Legal conference and...

...Healthy Grieving: A Comparative Analysis Author Grand Canyon University: HLT 310 Summer 19, 2016 2 HEALTHY GRIEVING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Stages of Grief Introduction Here in this essay we examine the stages of grief as defined by the renowned thanatologist Elizabeth KüblerRoss. In conjunction with this review of grief we will consider the work of Nicholas Wollsterstorff in his epic Lament for a Son, written to express his still lingering grief at the loss of his son Eric, who tragically fell to his death while mountainclimbing at the age of 25. As we study the process of grief, one must bear in mind that for people suffering grief a range of emotions will come to the forefront"disbelief, sadness, anger, guilt, and selfreproach, panic, anxiety, loneliness, listlessness, and apathy, shock, yearning, numbness, depersonalization" (Bruce 2007) . Also, one must remember that grief is a natural response to losing a loved one. While looking at grief’s lingering effects, we will also discover how Wolsterstorff managed to find meaning, even joy, after the loss of his son. Stages of the Grieving Process All people experience grief and mourn at the loss of a loved oneit is a universal experience. To understand the grieving process better, it helps to focus on the five stages of grief as proposed by KüblerRoss in response to one’s “own terminal illness, the loss of a close relationship, or the death of a valued human being” (Axelrod...
