Jandro: *kicks him in the leg* You? Sorry? For what? For not being able to pass my project on the deadline? *kicks him in the arm* Boy: *Whimpers in pain* I’m sorry... I’ll make you another one next quarter! Jandro: Hm! How insufficient can you be? You useless little rat. *picks him up in his sleeve and punches him in the face, blood gushing out from his mouth* I’ll give you one more chance. Value it. Kim: Jandro, you’re too harsh. Please stop. Help him up, C’mon. Jandro: Shut up, Kim! Let’s leave this useless dog here. We’d be lucky enough if he gets caught by the guards after curfew. (Scene 2, Jandro walks out with his friend, but the boy was able to gather a little more strength to stand up and attempts to push Jandro, but Kim notices him and screamed, and Jandro turned around and pushed the boy instead. It was too hard, and he fell on his feat, and his head hit the wall, which caused an impact) Kim: Jandro! Jandro: *speechless* I... Is he okay?

...Pick one member of your crew to take a flogging, and I’ll spare one member of your crew for every lash they take.” “I’ll do it-” I started to say. “No, no Captain.” The pirate’s smile broadened. “That wasn’t the deal. I’m not going to break your valuable skin. Pick one. Or I’ll kill them all.” “Savage, would you mind?” I sighed. If anyone in my crew could take a flogging, it was Savage. Savage stepped forward to the pirate. “Very good Captain. Now let’s see how many lashes the boy can take.” With that I watched my strongest crew member take lash after lash, saving my crew. The sound of the whip cracking on his back was almost more than I could bear, but I stood strong. After each lash, the pirate pointed to one of my crew and put them on the other side of the ship, indicating that they were safe. Miraculously, Savage managed to survive enough lashes to save every one of my crew. “How did you survive all of those lashes? I whipped you thirty-five times,” The pirate’s eyes were wide and then narrowed into a dirty look....

...common quotes like, “the truth shall set you free”, or from the many consequences received for lying, people were meant to be have honesty enforced their minds. There is no doubt truth actually is enforced in our minds, according to a study by expert of Developmental Science, Dr. Fu Genyue, Ph.D, “Children of all ages categorize lies as lies and truth as truth” (499). Research in the medical field shows that “deception is judged as justified in some contexts involving the prevention of harm” (Freeman 2274). Of course lying is not acceptable when speaking under oath or at confessions with a priest, but lying is definitely justifiable in certain situations were it can be used as a protection factor to protect the feelings, securities, and lives of others. We are all put into very awkward situations at some points of our lives where we may feel lying to spare one's feelings was the best option. One common situation is being asked, “Do I look fine in this outfit?”. If the person does look fine it is okay to say so, but it is when that person may not that we produce what is called a “white lie”. While many people may recognize the words “white lie”, there is no clear understanding of what it means. According to Sudhanshu Kumar Mishra, Ph.D, who is a expert in Economics, a white lie is “ a lie used to avoid offense such as complementing something one finds unattractive”(5). According to expert of Developmental Science, Dr. Fu Genyue, Ph.D, telling a white lie is very common, not...

...Event Paper #1 – Painting ARTS 1301.002 Milan Baweja October 5, 2013 I attended the The Karl and Esther Hoblitzelle Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art on October 3rd 2013. This Exhibition had many different paintings with styles varying from the different eras of European Art. The painting that caught my eye was The Union of Venus and Bacchus (L'Alliance de Bacchus et de Vénus) by Nicolas Chapron. Chapron successfully demonstrates a union being made between these two gods due to his use of color, texture, and his line technique. In the painting The Union of Venus and Bacchus (L'Alliance de Bacchus et de Vénus) by Nicolas Chapron paints the goddess Venus with the god of wine and fertility Bacchus. Directly underneath them there is a satyr holding a fallen goat with two infants at each of the goat’s hind legs. They are in a forest with what appears to be a stone table with a vase on it and cloth surrounding the back of the trees to make a hidden area in the woods. On the right hand side of the table intertwined in the cloth are two more infants. The vase on the table has a face on the front of it and the spout is in the shape of a bird’s beak. Underneath the infants in the bottommost right hand side of the painting, there is some sort of cracked stone and a base of a column. In the background of the painting the sky is in turmoil and there is the rest of the forest and a path that leads to the area of the painting. In the center of the path lies a boulder. At Venus’...

...was sitting alone in her office cubicle on a Sunday night. The cubicle had four computers in four corners. On weekdays rest of the three seats were occupied by three other software engineers. Nanda had some pending work, so she had to come on a weekend and except for a colleague of hers, Jack, the floor was deserted. Nanda had always hated Jack because of his arrogant and egotistical attitude. He really got on her nerves. Nanda finished her documentation. The time was 8:28 pm. She started checking her mailbox before she called it a day. There were a couple of unread mails but one caught her eyes. It was from an unknown sender with a red exclamation mark signifying importance. Nanda opened the mail a little unsure whether the thing carried some virus. The content of the mail was in little black letters. "Death is a game. Game chooses many random lives everyday. Today it has chosen you. If you don't get out of this cubicle in an hour , you will die. Find a way to get out and you will live. Time is now 8:32. The game starts, the moment you finish reading this. Best of luck" The moment Nanda read the mail, it got deleted automatically from her inbox. She knew it was a prank from Jack. She checked her watch, it was 8:32. She switched off the computer and got up from her seat. She took her bag and slid it across her shoulder. Just then she felt something on her forehead. She took the small face mirror from her bag and checked. She was bleeding a little. It was a small but...

...wanted nothing but to help Mayella Ewell unfortunately he was caught in an indecent lie and paid with his life . In Robinson’s testimony, he talked about Mayella and how “She’d call me in… Seemed like every time I passed by yonder she’d have some little somethin’ for me to do…”(256). When questioned if he was paid for his generous services, Robinson replied“No suh, not after she offered me a nickel the first time. I was glad to do it, Mr. Ewell didn’t seem to help her none, and neither did the chillun, and I knowed she didn’t have no nickels to spare.” Robinson helped Mayella on many occasions, with good intentions, overall wanting to be a good and helpful man that he is. To kill a mockingbird means to destroy innocence, but that is exactly what Mayella did. She accused Tom Robinson for raping her, and therefore she killed the mockingbird due to her lies she made, Tom was then forcefully convicted of this felony. During Robinson’s testimony, he quoted “I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more’n the rest of em-”, this statement was a mistake because he was expressing pity for her, making it seem like Tom considers himself above Mayella . Tom was later shot seventeen times attempting an escape from prison. Nothing but a suicide mission. It was...

Both of the two stories meets the same problem which is poverty forcing them to make change. The path to success are tough and hard, both of them have to discard something for the cost. However, their ending are not the same. Sherman Alexie is telling us the real life of Indian American who still lives in the Indian reservation. For those people, their poverty are generational and inheritance. “Seriously, I know my mother and father had their dreams when they were kids. They dreamed about being something other than poor, but they never got the chance to be anything because nobody paid attention to their dreams” (Sherman Alexie 12). As Arnold talks about his parents living in poor, he is helpless and feeling despairing because he knew that the poverty has been an issue for the Indian American for many generations. To think about more deeply, another view of what Arnold says is, he still believe that Indian people are equal to other ones. Not only they have the equal rights to have dream, but also they...

What does Jan Narveson think about cases like Marilyn’s? Why does he think as he does? How many changes, and to what extent, would be the very minimum that would have to be made in Godwin’s story “Cold Equations” before you would think that Marilyn ought to be spared by the EDS pilot? Stephanie Mann 4778759 Phil 1F90 Maya Snrdic In the short story The Cold Equations, it depicts life’s real challenges, and how we must face them when in a decision of where we are obligated to figure out for ourselves what is right and wrong. Although this is a science-fictional story, it shows us how real life decisions are made, in which this case, the decision is threatening to one’s life. The choices made in this story are done through morality, utilitarianism, and assumption, clearly shown throughout the obstacles that are thrown at the main character and subject. In this short story, Marilyn made a choice, and clearly the last choice she could have made as a young 18 year old, to sneak onto a ship that was clearly marked “unauthorized personnel, keep out!” Little did she know was that her decision to sneak onto this ship would not be to pay a small fine, but would be to pay the price of her life. The EDS pilot now has to face decisions that he would rather not, since he is the one who has to choose who dies or not. He knows in his heart that...
