He again establishes his ethos by revealing his first-hand experiences dealing with the effects of alcohol abuse. Additionally, he employs diction through words with strong negative connotations in order to further emphasize his disdain toward his father. For instance, Sanders illustrates how alcohol would transform his father from a capable man into a “pathetic, frightening, deceitful” (12) man. Put in such stark terms, Sanders leaves his readers no choice but to confront the ugly truth behind alcoholism. Sanders’ word choice creates a condescending tone that emphasizes the shame Sanders had felt as a

Have you ever been put in a horrendous situation where you did something that you never thought you would do? In the articles “1972 Andes Flight Disaster” by Common Lit Staff and “The Stanford Prison Experiment” by Saul McLeod, people did immoral and savage things when they were put in a rough situation. In Addition, in the novel, Lord of The Flies kids committed very savage acts when they were placed in an extreme environment. Were the acts they committed caused by the situation they were in or was it their biological factor (brain). The actions these people executed is to be blamed on the situation they were placed in.

Individually, we create a metaphorical puzzle as we reflect on our life. These puzzle pieces represent all of the small-scale decisions we’ve made. Inside of those decisions, also consists of other people and how they influenced our upbringings. When this puzzle is put together, all of these decisions create one large picture. Specifically, Wes Moore’s “puzzle” obtains unfinished than other people, these pieces may not fit particularly well with other pieces, and they may never will. The reader may never perceive why Wes made any of the poor decisions he has made in his lifetime, nevertheless, there’s one large section of the puzzle that holds together–this would be Wes Moore’s influence from drug abuse. The idea of drug abuse continues to be frowned upon by other people. However, what most people may not understand is that there’s an addiction that comes with it, not an addiction to the drugs specifically, though an addiction to the lifestyle that came with it.

Despite the sufferance of victims, they often aren’t entirely blameless, as their poor decisions and irresponsibility is ultimately associated with their upsetting and newfound situation. Therefore victims like Fin O’Neil in The Story of Tom Brennan, who ultimately chose to travel in a car with drunken, inexperienced, and impulsive driver, it becomes questionable whether he is also culpable for his injuries. Despite Fin’s sobriety and awareness prior to the accident, this does not implicate him, however it becomes debatable whether the outcomes would be alike; with Fin’s extensive injuries and crash itself, if the decisions made on Fin’s behalf were different. Similarly in the story of ‘In My Little Town’, Leigh Charter Jnr also decides to travel with a drunk driver, regardless of the risks. Although his alertness was also compromised by alcohol, he holds some level of responsibility in his death. However, in ‘Shattered’, there are no obvious victims who made poor decisions, due to the situations isolation. Although, it is disputable whether the perpetrator; Peter Hodgkins’ friends who witnessed the accident could have altered the outcome. Though, it was voiced to Peter; “don’t throw a rock at a car, that’s stupid,” (‘Shattered’, 2011) this partly ousts some responsibility, especially due to their intoxication, which is similar to the other stories. However, responsibility is never fully removed from others, as it only takes one person, one conversation, and any one action during the lead to alter the outcome of July 21st 2007, in Kiama, New South

The scene begins with the older white male officer (Officer Ryan) ending a phone call with an African American woman named Shaniqua Johnson. His stereotyped and racist attitudes toward black individuals are first unveiled to the audience at this scene, after he receives upsetting news that she is unable to help his father receive better health care.

According to Ursula K. Le Guin, “The desire for power feeds off itself, growing as it devours.” Throughout history, the desire of power leaves behind a destructive mark, through wars, betrayals and deaths. This stays consistent in William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”; a story of young boys who are stuck on an island after a plane crash. . Jack Merridew, the head boy of his school, slowly reveals his evil nature while trying to take over the tribe. Throughout the book, his humanity enervates, while his desire for power strengthens and grows. By utilizing Jack Merridew’s actions and reasons, Golding suggests that the appetite for power manifests man’s true evil nature and results in violence.

After a tornado, Brian discovers that the chaotic storm has riled up the tail of the plane had emerged from the lake, reminding Brian of the dead pilot and compelling him to say a few words for him. Brian retrieves the survival pack from the plane. "Come on, he thought, baring his teeth in the darkness—come on. Is that the best you can do—is that all you can hit me with—a moose and a tornado? Well, he thought, holding his ribs and smiling, then spitting mosquitoes out of his mouth. Well, that won't get the job done. That was the difference now. He had changed, and he was tough." (Page

Sanders confesses the problems he and his family had to go through throughout the many years that alcoholism had consumed his father. Not only did the alcohol change his father, but it changed the way their family lived. Sanders’ family, like any family, should be tied together with an infinite rope, yet alcoholism came as a saw into the family, tearing it apart. Sanders tries explaining this problem when asking, “Why our father, so playful and competent and kind when sober, would choose to ruin himself and punish his family, we could not fathom” (Sanders 91). Although Sanders’ father sober, like many others, was “playful” and “kind”, alcoholism transformed him into a different and disastrous person. His family felt punished, as the alcohol was coming between the father and the rest of the family. However, not only was his father slipping away from the family, he was turning into creature different than everyone else. This is clear in Sanders’ essay as he “wakes with a grunt”, “snarls back” and “growls” when communicating with his wife (Sanders 87). Sanders specifically uses these savage words to fully express the way his father was like after drinking. The text infers that Sanders’ father was a different creature because of the inhumane noises coming from him. These noises, along with the feeling of falling apart, are factors proving the negative effect of alcoholism. Sanders’ family is not alone with this. Whenever my father would smoke, it was as if the smoke being blown out of his mouth was a piece of him leaving. This affected my family as we felt as if we didn’t recognize the man that had stepped back inside from smoking his cigarette. Sanders realizes that as alcoholism consumes a person, that person will transform into an indistinguishable character, while also tearing apart a
