...Evan Devould Lemoyne-Owen College Abstract Page In this essay I will be summarizing the movie “Stolen”. Stolen is about a family of three boys who lived with their mom and dad. One of the boys name Luke was mentally retarded. Times were hard for this family, but got even worse when the mother committed suicide. After the mother committed suicide, financial hardships caused the family home to become foreclosed. After the family home was foreclosed they moved in with family members. Even though they moved with family, the youngest child who was mentally retarded was no welcomed into the household. Subsequently, father and son had to fend for themselves. One day, the father left Luke in the car alone. Shortly afterwards the father returned to the car, surprised to find that Luke was missing. Now the investigation begins for the search of little Luke. At the beginning, there was a family of three boys. The youngest sibling was mentally retarded. His name was Luke. Luke was always referred to by family and peers as retard or slow kid. The boys lived with both their mother and father, until the mother committed suicide. After the death of the mother, the father who name was Matthew was granted full custody of the boys. Due to overwhelming financial hardships upon Matthew, the family house got foreclosed. With all this bad luck happening in such a short time span, the father turned to family for help. The family...

...stones in the corner, at the square, and Bobby Martin starts stuffing his pockets full of stones while the other boys start following him by example, and selecting certain kinds of stones, the smoothest and roundest they could find. When reading this part in the story one could and would expect that to be completely normal for young boys to do such a thing. Starting off quite and then breaking out into an energetic play. All seems innocent until the real meaning becomes clear at the end when the stones are used to commit a murder. Throughout the story the author also uses symbols to help in understanding the story’s theme. One example is the black box. The black box represents a tradition that has been around for many years and ties into irony, representing death. The color of the box black is even a symbol, which is a universal symbol for evil and death. No one really seems to know when it started or where it came from, but it still remains. The villagers are very loyal and are firm believers that even though the black box is splintered badly, showing its original wood colored, faded and needs to be replaced, the villagers will not do so. They look at it as similar artifacts have been passed down, such as the family list and the stones and that this is all part of a tradition that no one wants to stray away from. One tradition that has changed with the black box is that the villagers now use paper slips instead of wood chips. This is because the village was once tiny but...

...Later in the story it is learned that the stones are used to kill people, and in this instance it is foreshadowing that they are used to inflict pain which is why it is feared. In the story Mr. Summers asks for help to move the black box. No one comes forward and he must ask again and there is still hesitation before two men come forth. This is an act out of fear which is showing there might be something to fear later in the story that is connected to the box. Another example of foreshadowing in the text is when ut says, “as much tradition as was represented by the black box.”. As much tradition is putting an emphasis on how old this tradition is upheld and by saying it is represented by the black box it is saying that the tradition is death. Though the reader might skip over this the author is hinting that the tradition of the lotter is death. It is very odd when Mr. Summers asks the boy if he will be drawing for his mother, and that “everyone else in the village knew the answer perfectly well”. This is saying that actually every single person living in the village knew what happened to one boys...

The body was discovered during the end of February, 1957, nude and bruised, in the Fox-Chase region of Northeast Philadelphia. Many questions would arise as police would begin collecting evidence in order to help identify the victim; However very little would be answered. What happened to this boy? How did he end up here in this state? Even more unanswered questions would generate as outreach to the public would be used, in hopes to find either relatives or someone who may have information beneficial to the investigation.

...Everyone follows tradition, whether it's good or bad. Shirley Jacksons short story " The Lottery" shows how a village participates in a horrendous tradition that nobody can't seem to forget. The lottery is an old tradition in where each member of every family must draw a paper to determine who will be stoned to death that year. Jackson is sure to use literary devices throughout the short story to describe the village, the people, and the tradition itself which ends with taking someone's life. One of the literary devices that Jackson uses is foreshadowing. The first example takes place in the second paragraph where it reads, "Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting...

...Statistics 100A Homework 1 Solutions Ryan Rosario Chapter 1 1. (a) How many different 7-place license plates are possible if the first 2 places are for letters and the other 5 for numbers? The first two places can contain any letter of alphabet, 1 of 26 possibilities. The last five places can contain any single digit number, 1 of 10 possibilities. 26 26 10 10 10 10 10 If we consider each place an experiment with ni outcomes, then the generalized basic principle of counting implies that the total number of possibilities 7 ni = 26 · 26 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 = 262 105 = 67,600,000 i=1 (b) Repeat part (a) under the assumption that no letter or number can be repeated in a single license plate. Again, the first two places can contain any letter of alphabet, 1 of 26 possibilities. Once we have drawn a letter for the first place, that letter is no longer available for the second place. The last five places can contain any single digit number, 1 of 10 possibilities. Once a number has been chosen for the first place, it is no longer available for the next place and so on. 26 25 10 9 8 7 6 7 ni = 26 · 25 · 10 · 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 = 19,656,000 i=1 2. How many outcome sequences are possible when a die is rolled four times, where we say, for instance, that the outcome is 3, 4, 3, 1 if the first roll landed on a 3, the second on 4, the third on 3, and the fourth on a 1? This is almost identical to the previous problem. Rather than each experiment being a place on a license plate, each...

The movie demonstrates how an “Unstructured Group”, prominently displaying Laissez-faire transactional leadership, transforms into a “High Performing Team”. Davis (Juror #8), the character played by Henry Fonda, is instrumental in influencing this transformation. Davis demonstrates how one man can motivate and inspire a group, align them towards exploring the possibility that other explanations of the events exist and allow them to feel confident in performing the job they are entrusted with. A transformational leader is often charismatic, inspirational, and has the courage to challenge the status quo. Davis displays many transformational leadership qualities ultimately leading the rest of the jury to question their original assumptions, to consider that another life is at stake. In this highly emotional situation, Davis uses his ability to influence the...

...and sunny. The townspeople of a small village of more than 300 gather for a yearly ritual, the lottery. The townspeople talk and joke as the children run and play. A black box is introduced and the people start the process of choosing the scapegoat this year, the one to be stoned to death. The turn of events in this story just goes to show you the rituals, symbolism, and the unnecessary violence in human society. Every year the lottery serves as a ritual and the black box is introduced. The black box symbolizes death to one of the villagers who will be the scapegoat for all. Mr. Summers, the lottery official follows some of these rituals by asking questions they all know the answers to. He did so, in my opinion, to keep it official and fair or uniform to all. Another ritual Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves performed was to fill the box the night before with the slips of paper to be used the next morning. They performed this year after year. The ritual itself involved the heads of the households to draw from the box and the one who drew the black dot would return his dot to the black box. They would count his family members and that many pieces of paper would be returned to the box including the one with the black dot. Each family member would take his turn drawing from the box until everyone did. In this case, Tessie Hutchinson drew the black dot out of the family members and became the scapegoat. She was quoted saying “It isn't fair!” (138). In the end she fell victim of unnecessary...
