Examples Of Being Accused By John Grisham

Imagine being on trial for a crime you did not commit. In the book Monster, by Walter Dean Myers, Steve Harmon, a nice sixteen-year-old boy living in Harlem, New York was in a situation just like this. Steve was on trial after being accused of being a lookout during a robbery and murder at a neighborhood drugstore. Steve is innocent because he never gave a signal to the robbers that the store wasn’t clear of people and he did not know Bobo, one of the other suspected robbers. Steve was just in the store shopping for mints at the time of the crime.

This legal loophole is based on the theory that if he had not participated in the robbery, his partner wouldn’t have been shot. Because Geri is over sixteen, his transfer to adult court is certain, where he will face a harsh prison sentence. These cases are just two of many sad and unfair stories featured in this work. Other than the juveniles themselves, the reader will also meet several juvenile court officials. Humes introduces his audience to a frustrated and burnt out juvenile court prosecutor, an intimidating, reform-minded judge who shows his distaste for transferring youths to adult court by simply refusing to do it, even when it is required by law, and a patient juvenile probation officer who manages to find small successes within a job that can sometimes seem futile at best.

“I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you.” The Crucible is written around the theme of sin and guilt. The girls dancing naked in the forest, the affair of John and Abigail, and John refusing to sign the agreement about the affair to be hung up on the church doors are all examples of sin and guilt.

The crucible is a story about the Salem witchcraft trials and Abigail Williams is one of the main characters. Abigail was one of the main accusers in the Salem witch trials,which led to the arrest and imprisonment of more than one hundred and fifty innocent people suspected of witchcraft. Abigail deserves the blame for the outcome of the play. Abigail has a little thing for the proctor and he knows,because he had an affair on his wife. In the beginning of the story on page 22 it states the proctor saying “Abby, you’ll put it out of mind. It’ll not be coming for you more.” That meant that the proctor knew that he had done wrong, but Abigail doesn’t really care because she keeps going for him.

When we are younger we used to get our brother or sister and pick on another sibling. When mom or dad comes to yell at the person who started it we tend to pin it on someone else or you are the person who gets left with all the punishment. At one point in our lives we were blamed for something we didn't do or we were the person that pushed it onto someone else. Arthur Miller expresses a lot of scapegoating or being the scapegoat in The Crucible.

During World War II, Hitler used his power to persuade the government to make him the chancellor, which gave him more control over Germany. This lets him manipulate the people so they would think that same way as he did. The people believed this because they did not understand what Hitler was going to do with the Jews, during this time they used the Jews as a scapegoat to blame for their problems. Many situations have a scapegoat that people need to blame to help them deal with their problems. In The Crucible written by Arthur Miller the town used witches as their scapegoat. In the New York Times article Extended Forecast: Bloodshed the people in Tanzania used witchcraft as their scapegoat. Finally in the Quartz Magazine article Fear of the Government Makes Americans More Likely to Reach for a Gun the government is creating scapegoats out of the certain people and events. Some people need to find a scapegoat to blame for example, in The Crucible, the New York Times article Extended Forecast: Bloodshed, and the Quartz Magazine article Fear of the Government makes Americans more likely to Reach for a Gun the people had to find a scapegoat for the problems that they faced.

“I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”, John Proctor said in Arthur Miller’s book, The Crucible. Proctor was one of the main characters in this play and throughout this play he experienced some horrific tragedies. It all leads down to the themes of The Crucible. There was guilt, sacrifice, and hysteria all throughout the play, that all of the characters went through.

Infused with mystery, fear grim facts and records, Witchcraft history can be traced back to centuries. During the Salem Witch Trials, false accusations were being spread around leading to the community of Salem to be filled with fear and death. In his novel, The Crucible, Arthur Miller argues that making false accusations and rumors can ruin a person’s reputation, and eventually, a community.

The United States judicial system says that you are innocent until proven guilty. In language arts class we read a book called Monster, by Walter Dean Myers. Monster is about a 16 year old boy named Steve Harmon, and how he had to go on a trial for felony murder. The book is set as if Steve is making a screenplay. At the end of the book Steve is proven innocent, and free to go, but I believe that there was not enough information for Steve to be proven guilty. The jury did not see many parts of the story that readers of the book Monster read, for example, in his journal Steve writes about wanting to be like King, he also has flashbacks to before the crime that show him interacting with other members of the crime, and finally he had a lot of really close people doubting him.

Have you ever been falsely accused of something you didn't do? Well, this happens in the realistic fiction book, Holes by Louis Sachar. I strongly believe that you should read this well developed book, for it has fascinating characters, the great message, and the astounding plot. The 14 year old and main protagonist of the story named Stanley Yelnats goes through a series of unfortunate events that leads him into an abusive camp. He is overweight, lonely in school, and gets bullied frequently. In the camp, the requirement every day is to dig a hole five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction. Because of the many kids in the camp, the landscape is full of holes, and looks dry and beat up. Stanley eventually finds out there is more

“Invictus,” by William Henley, is a poem that points out a common ideology to hard workers; to maintain perseverance. With words like: “Out of the night that covers me,” “I have not winced nor cried aloud,” and “I am the master of my fate, I am the master of my soul;” it becomes a fact that words like these regurgitate the min of the readers to be strong and not give up in hope. Hence, creates a picture of the overall poem from the transition of hardship to the last statements of confidence. The word “night,” from the first line in the first stanza of the poem, is both a metaphor and synecdoche. It is a metaphor because the word represents suffering, in which, the speaker (William) compares the darkness of his own suffering as a hellish

“Mother, if you tighten the corset much more, I won’t be able to breath,” I gasped as my mother tightening my corset to an extreme.

Throughout the pages of recorded history, nursing has been integrated into every facet of life. A legacy of human care has progressed throughout the years, responding to psychological, social, environmental, and physiology (Cherry and Jacob, 2014, Chapter 1). From prehistoric period to nursing in the twenty-first history, nursing has evolved magical beliefs and unorganized caring process into a knowledgeable scientific profession. From a primitive belief, the use of herbs, roots and vegetables contributed to the belief of casting evil spirit which was helping a patient move to an upper level of wellness. As time evolved, with the help of technology, nursing developed into a more scientific profession combined with science and caring behaviors. Between this gaps, people as Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale set the principle and the basic knowledge in the areas of nursing practice in terms of maintaining a clean surrounding and having a rich education in nursing. Nowadays, nursing has divided into many branches such as labor nurse, military nurse, hospice nurse, home health nurse and many more with one ultimate purpose to promote health for the well-being of those who cannot help themselves. In order to achieve this goal, nurses will continue to expand their roles and explore new areas of practice and leadership. This paper will discuss the nature behind nursing and what it truly takes to be a nurse.
