...A sense if utter waste resonates with the audience at the play’s conclusion. By the cessation of Romeo and Juliet, six people die. All these lives that have potential are gone because of the stupidity of the parents and their feud. Romeo and Juliet are capable to live out their lives and be happy, but because of who they are they cannot have that chance. Mercutio and Tybalt will still be alive if this feud has not been existent. Mercutio associates with Romeo and even though he is neither a Montague nor Capulet, he perishes because of Tybalt’s rage against the Montagues. Tybalt dies because of Romeo’s vengeance for Mercutio. This causes the exile of Romeo, which leads to Lady Montague’s decease from a broken heart. Romeo’s banishment also creates...

...Homeless Banishment Ordinances Frank Garcia University of Phoenix Com 215 –Essentials of College Writing Homeless Banishment Ordinances The homeless have been affected by local ordinances restricting them in certain public places. Restrictions that the homeless people have to contend with are from banishment from local parks, street, and alleys. They have even been fined and jailed under these various types of banishments ordinances. Have their constitutional rights been violated? City ordinances are being created to run the homeless individuals out of the city limits, and to move the problem to other cities or jurisdictions. The complaints are being forged by citizens, merchants, and law enforcement agencies that deal directly with the homeless. Cities like Palo Alto, and Seattle have passed sit-and-lie ordinances. In addition, they have also passed statutes prohibiting soliciting, panhandling, consumption of alcohol in public places. These statutes are directly intended for the homeless, and city officials continue to target the homeless. The homeless do not have the funds to pay for fines imposed by local courts; this type of practice only reconfirms those cities continually trying to make it difficult for the homeless. The ordinance opponents are from the civil rights groups, church groups, and the homeless that have continuingly oppose new ordnances for the sake of bettering city images and business sales. Since the sit-and-lie ordinances...

...Emma Harrell Apps of Composition 4 September 23, 2015 Rhetorical Analysis essay In the article by The Editorial Board from The New York Times, “The Pointless Banishment of Sex Offenders”, the author goes into detail showing that it really is not necessary to banish all sex offenders. The Board goes further to talk about how residency Laws “drive tens of thousands of people to the fringes of society, forcing them to live in motels, out of cars or under bridges” (par 3). There is a huge variety of offenses that could classify someone as a sex offender, so the court system, and society should not group them into one large statistic. The author is very effective using multiple techniques including ethos, logos, and pathos to prove that not every one of these offenders should be banished from society. Ethos is the appeal to ethics, and it uses credible recourses to get to the point. In this editorial in particular, it is used to show that people we look up to are cracking down on sex offenders, and the idea is not, in fact, just an idea. “Lately, judges have been pushing back. So far in 2015, state supreme courts in California, Massachusetts and New York have struck down on residency laws” (par 4). The author uses judges as a reliable source to make the reader understand just how seriously these things are taken, so that they can see that it is unnecessary. Another technique the author uses that is very beneficial to the readers understanding of the concept is logos. This is...

...Following the death of Tybalt Capulet, the Prince has decided to punish Romeo for the murder of another human being. While Romeo could have faced the death penalty, the Prince was satisfied with banishing Romeo from Verona. While many would view banishment as a blessing instead of the death penalty, Romeo sees it as even worse of a punishment. When hearing about his punishment, Romeo said, “There is no world without Verona walls, but purgatory, torture, hell itself.” Romeo seems to think that life outside of Verona will be terrible, mostly because he will be away from the girl that he is in love with. Following his banishment, the Prince has also made it very clear that if Romeo tries to stay in Verona, he will be killed.

...Challenging Exile 'Exile' comes from the Old French word 'essil', meaning "state of banishment, also devastation, destruction" (OED). In William Shakespeare's late dramas, especially Pericles and Cymbeline, exile and banishment are not presented exclusively as punishments. Exile and banishment are presented as separations from society that allow characters to be renewed and transformed. This is a new type of exile, one which values reform and renewal over punishment. This remarkable difference is caused by nature. Characters in these plays are set on new courses by storms, and educated by woods and beasts. Yet this change in the causes and functions of exile are not merely artistic expressions of Renaissance banishment customs. Banishment was a common punishment in Shakespeare's Britain, and these plays especially may have been subtle responses to the overwhelming power of monarchs, or symbolic of...

...Continuing on, when Romeo encounters Mercutio and Tybalt in the square exchanging insults and close to a fight, he decides to withhold the fact that he just got married to Juliet. His vagueness about this with Tybalt causes confusion and drawing of swords, which leads to Mercutio getting killed, and Romeo, in his passion and rash behavior, killing Tybalt in revenge for his best friend’s murder. Romeo’s failure to consider telling any of them what just happened between him and Juliet causes the two murders and his own subsequent banishment. This banishment of course leads to acts of rash behavior, like an attempted suicide in the Friar’s cell with a dagger, and several more misunderstandings, such as the reason as to why Romeo killed...

...2001). Those against the smoking advertisements wish to use these studies as proof that advertisements do indeed have an impact on smoking as opposed to other notions about this theory. Anti Favor • Those against the banishment of tobacco advertisements state that one of the biggest issues with this law is the lack of the peoples' free will. Smokers have commented that the state are deeming them incapable of making their own decision even though they are fully aware of the consequences. Tobacco companies have commented that their customers are adults who smoke of their own choice. With many having opposed stating that such a law is unconstitutional in a free and democratic country. In conclusion, the state would be limiting the rights of citizens. • Tobacco companies have also attacked the bill with the idea that it should be legal to market their products since they are still allowed to manufacture and sell their products. Various companies have insisted that their marketing strategies was not targeted to under-aged children, but rather to allow smokers to view various products and make a decision as to what brand they prefer. Overall their strategy was to persuade smokers to pick their brand as the brand they would want to use. • Those who are anti-banishment have also brought several studies as examples to prove that advertisements have no effect on non-smokers and young citizens.

...Else, when he is found, that hour is his last. Bear hence this body and attend our will Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill (3.1.193-96) If Romeo is seen in Verona after one hour, he is going to be killed because earlier in the book, the Prince declares that if he sees or gets notified of any violence in public, the punishment will lead to death. Last, Romeo is hiding in Friar Laurence’s cell as he has fears of banishment. While hiding in his cell, Romeo says: Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say “death”;/ For exile hath more terror in his look,/ Much more than death” (3.3.12-14). Since Romeo is married to Juliet, he is developing fears for banishment because he wants to live his whole life with her.

This is evident in your essay when you stated “Lear's madness is an anger which has reached its extreme limits because of his old age, the loss of his physical energy, the banishment of Cordelia and finally, the way in which he is mistreated by his other daughters. All of this creates an internal wasteland which coincides with the grey landscape of the heath. Here, Lear experiences a complete collapse while screaming angrily into the air”.

...I. Why is “terminology” so important in the text? Terminology helps us to understand the law in ways that the law might be affected by its terms. (Richland 2010 p19) More and more governments are using their traditional language in today’s codes (Richland 2010 p33) and it is important that we understand their term definitions. II. What is Law? | A rule or set of rules, enforceable by the courts, regulating the government of a state, the relationship between the organs of government and the subjects of the state, and the relationship or conduct of subjects towards each other. The term “LAW” for Anglo-American society “means the way in which societies express who they are and the ways of life they value as a people” (Justin B. Richland, 2010). Law for one tribal nation is often different than what law looks like in another (Richland p8). The Indian Civil Rights Act 1968 provided a Bill of Rights to Indians in their relations with the tribal governments. It authorizes a model code for tribal courts for Indian offenses and requires Indian consent, by states of jurisdiction over Indian territory. | | | III. What is a tribal legal system? Please provide examples. The tribal legal system is made up of the norms, structures, and practices of the tribe. Norms are the values and beliefs held by the community about the proper and improper ways to act toward other people, places, and things (Richland 2010 p4). There are two kinds of norms, substantive and procedural...

...As Colonial America commenced, a wide labor force became a necessity in order to progress economically through developments such as the mass production of tobacco. During this period, no slave laws were set in place, which caused Africans to be treated as indentured servants, in which they too were given similar freedom dues as white folks. Between 1640 and 1660, however, racial slavery developed into a legal reality in Virginia. While interracial marriage or sex was banned and would result in banishment, as time progressed, laws changed, resulting in imprisonment and children were being subject to servitude. The ambiguous status of mixed race children shifted from the early Virginia laws which did not stipulate the child’s status, whereas the shift in laws later mandated that children were to serve according to their mother’s status revealing that the intent of these laws was to secure the ruling class’ desire to obtain as much labor as...
