A woman by the name Michele Wanko was charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and possessing an instrument of crime. Michele shot and killed her husband. Michele and her husband William Wanko lived in Philadelphia. It was a night when these two decided to put the children to bed and have a few drinks. They both had been drinking that night, for exactly six hours straight.

As he is waiting at the bar to ambush Strout he hoped the presence of friends would thwart his own efforts, “when Strout came around it alone Matt got out of the car, giving up the hope he had kept all night (and for the past week) that Strout would come out with friends,” (101). Matt understands that he is vulnerable to humanizing Strout, and tries to avoid this as much as possible to make sure he follows through with his murder as “Matt had not told Willis he was afraid he could not be alone with Strout for very long, smell his smells, feel the presence of his flesh, hear his voice, and then shoot him.” (102). Despite killing his son, Matt‘s ability to empathize, which is a prominent reason why he is so caring for his family, is an obstacle that must be overcome, as it prevents him from being merciless towards his

Further investigation revealed the shooting was a result of a fight that took place at a residence on Baty Street.

When they arrived, Katie opened the door immediately. They showed her the same picture of the gun they showed to John and asked the same question.

Matt was left unaccompanied in the wilderness for, what was suppose to be, 6 weeks. During those

He developed a scheme; he tells Richard that he is helping him skip the trial when in reality he’s taking him out of town to murder him. Then the narrator asks, “…he wondered now if his lie would have worked, if sending Strout away would have been enough; but then he knew that just thinking of Strout in Montana or whatever… thinking of him walking the streets there, loving a girl there… would be enough to slowly rot the rest of his days…” (Dubus, 8). Hiding what you don’t want to see doesn’t necessarily make anything better. Actually dealing with the situation and putting the matter to rest is the only way one is able to get closure. Matt seems to feel guilty about the killing after returning home after shooting Robert, the text says, “…he shuddered with a sob that he kept silent in his heart” (Dubus, 10). Matt gives off the impression that he never wanted to kill Robert, but he new he needed to. He knew that without Richard gone, without the knowledge that he will never walk a free man is the only way Matt will be able to live in peace. His heart may be silently crying, but deep down he knows he did what needed to be

Matt has always worried about what could happen to his children and protected them to the best of his abilities. He felt hopeless that there was nothing he could’ve done to prevent his son’s death. Matt knew there was a way to help Ruth feel better and she knew what his intentions were. He told Willis, “She knows I started carrying it after the first time she saw him in town. She knows it’s in case I see him, and there’s some kind of a situation—”. (Dubus 95). He started carrying the gun around to use against Richard if the opportunity ever came. The narrator states, “Each day he felt the same and when he was able to forget how he felt, when he was able to force himself not to feel that way, the eyes of his clerks and customers defeated him.” (Dubus 98). By this time, Matt’s id decided it was time to kill Richard. His plan was to kidnap him with Willis’ help, this is his ego making sure everything is right so he doesn’t get caught. Although, Matt had a lot of opportunities to kill him throughout the night, he didn’t. His superego made him hesitate until Richard tried to run

Such a claim is supplemented with the claim that the gun was not loaded, making his innocence highly plausible. At face value, he seems to have logically thought out a means by which to acquire his information; this is contradicted upon further inspection and the idea that he may have already lost his battle to maintaining his sanity. His plan to enter the cupboard and wait for the countess is so calculated and drawn out by Pushkin it is hard to believe his decision to draw a firearm on the old woman be undeserving of an introduction of a similar nature. Its abrupt and sudden appearance almost mirrors the lack of structure present in his mind. There is no indication that the gun was, in fact, empty of bullets other than the word of a man that is later committed. As the theme of what appears to be is not always so is prevalent throughout the tale, there is fair reason to believe that his rage over took his sensibility, much as his desire had done, and drove him to his actions. Was it not for the sudden death of The Countess, there is no concrete indication that he would not use the weapon on

He didn’t recognize the concrete walls of an old office on the top floor, that the bars across the window were to stop him from jumping. Silvia and Ben convinced him that he was a captain in the military. They also conditioned him to be preoccupied with the state of his cell so that he remained pliable. Another nine years left Matt a quivering ball of nerves and bizarre habits. He now believes that the dirt in his ‘room’ is sentient and determined to undermine his position and

“Someone’s right to have a gun,” says Joanna Wallace, “Took away my right to have a son.” (white book pg 25). Gun control is a growing problem and a nationwide tragedy. It has overpowered our society, due to the way individuals perceive the pros and cons of carrying a deadly weapon at all times. However, the policy of gun control is a procedure that must be passed by legislative sessions with many votes before confirming it to become a law. Even though owning a dangerous weapon can be used for protection and self-defense, the fact of the matter is ownership of a gun can lead to accidents, deaths, and crimes; ultimately, guns should be used only in certain situations if needed.

He stared at the target, but saw no bullets head towards the dummy. He definitely heard the shots, hell he even felt it, but he didn't see anything happen. His confused thought were interrupted by the shrieks of Trish
