...Johnny Do Ms. Wu English 2 CP 6 March 2024 The Prosecution of Jack Merridew Opening Statement Ladies and gentlemen of the court, today we are gathered here to address the crimes of Jack Merridew during his time on the island which ultimately resulted in the death of two innocent children, Simon and Piggy. Not only did these actions result in death, but also severe injuries to the other survivors. Charges Against Jack Merridew Murder: The death of Simon was a result of Jack stirring up the group of boys into a manic and wild state. Accessory to Murder: In the case of Piggy’s death, Roger was the one who dealt the killing blow, but through the leadership and command of Jack. Assault: Several accounts of physical violence, and harm targeted the...

...In each and every human being there is a beast within, it is only a matter of time before the inner evil is revealed. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies”, he demonstrates this theory very well; especially with the character named Roger.The other two characters who best portray this concept are Jack Merridew, the leader of the hunters, and Ralph who is in charge of assigning tasks to the little ones. Roger is a prime example of the beast within. Roger is a sadist who enjoys inflicting pain upon others. In the beginning, the boys still have the molding of society. For instance, Roger was throwing rocks at Henry,another child stranded on the island, and purposely misses.: “Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and...

...prosecution I would accuse Jack for some of his offenses. Statement of claim against Jack Merridew for his acts during the time at the island. First of all I would like to take preventive steps against two issues that might rise: lack of jurisdiction at the island and the fact that Jack is juvenile and is considered minor by law. I believe that looking away from these merciless offenses would be unjust, unfair to the victims and a danger to society. There are some examples of ruling in the past that Natural justice ("duty to act fairly") overcome the state laws such as "The Eichmann trial"- A jurisdiction matter and "The Weizman trial"- Sentencing a minor as an adult. This case should be an exception as well. The claims: * The attempted murder of Ralph- "Trying to unlawfully cause the death of a person" Attempted murder is an offense similar to first degree murder with the exception that an attempt is lacking the outcome of the offense (The death). As we can see in the book Jack mens rea (guiltily mind) was of intent ("intention- if one decided to kill, and killed or try to kill in cold blood, without provocation occurs immediately before the kill") to kill Ralph (Jack: "see? See? That’s what you'll get! I meant that! There isn’t a tribe for you any more…" page 181; The twins: "they're going to hunt you tomorrow" page 188), this quotes show that the kids led by Jack were ready to kill anyone in there way and implying that murder Ralph is a viable option. Jack was aware that his...

...morning Your Honour and ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I stand before you today with the task of prosecuting Jack Merridew on account of the murders of Simon Jones and Paul Smith, commonly known as Piggy. The tangled and tragic events that took place on the island are difficult to comprehend yet amidst all of this it becomes apparent who was at fault. Jack Merridew. He was a bully, he was self-obsessed and he was a savage. Firstly, the survivors have repeatedly mentioned Jacks inner cruelty, his bullying and his discriminatory attitudes. These became evident from the onset of the time on the island. Jack accused Simon of “throwing a faint” and often told Piggy to “shut up” whilst labelling him as “Fatty”. You may ask why these incidents are of importance? Well, they set in place the groundwork for what is to come. These events stir up initial hatred and outcast towards Simon and Piggy. These events are what result in mass confusion, physical violence and ultimately the victims’ deaths....

...there was a little jack rabbit that had tiny, tiny ears and little legs. His main problem was that he could hear or get around very easily. His home was under this big oak tree in the forest, it was very cool and it kept the rain from getting him all wet. Mr. Jack was very friendly; everyone in the forest was his friends even his common enemy; like the coyote. But out of all his friends there was this one that Mr. Jack would always turn to for help or questions that he wanted answers to. This friend live in the upper part of the tree, he was an owl named Hoot. So one night he just got back and he saw Hoot in the tree and he looked at him and said “ Hoot, why is it so hard for me to get around and so hard for me to hear I don’t get it; I know you can hear really well, and you get around great because you have wings”. Hoot was thinking and said “I don’t know how that works but that’s the way life goes, now get some sleep.” “Ok I will good night Hoot.” Later that night Jack was having dreams about actually having long legs and ears, he was so happy and excited that in the morning he woke up and had to tell Hoot. He was very happy for Jack, then it hit him what if I try to tug on Jacks ears and legs. Hoot thought it over very carefully and was thinking maybe that will really work. At least Jack would be happy if that really did happen because he never stops talking about his ears and legs getting longer. The next day he was tell Jack about his great plan, Jack got excited and said...

...The strongest always prevail over the weak; one example is World War 1. The stronger armies prevailed, while the weaker ones were destroyed. Golding in his novel, Lord of the Flies, argues that the strongest prevail over the weak. A couple of instances where this is demonstrated are when Jack makes his own group and everyone joins him because he’s stronger, nobody disobeys the stronger people because they are scared they will get hurt, and lastly Jacks group has stronger people so they take over Ralphs group. Firstly, one of the many scenes demonstrating that the stronger prevail over the weak is when Jack creates his own group. For example “Long before Ralph and Piggy came up with Jack’s lot” (164). This proves Golding’s argument that the stronger do in fact prevail over the weak considering everyone joined his group because he was physically stronger then Ralph. Secondly, another example that relates to Golding’s argument is when Samneric are too scared to leave Jack’s group because they are afraid that they will get hurt or killed. For example, Ralph said “Wont you come with me? Three of us- we’d stand a chance” and Samneric replied “‘You don’t know Roger. He’s a terror.’ ‘-and the Chief-they’re both-‘ ‘-terrors” (210). This once again proves Golding’s argument because Samneric were indeed too afraid to disobey the stronger leaders. Finally, the last instance where Golding shows that the stronger prevail over the weak is that Jack’s group had more people, and eventually...

...Through the usage of bitter diction, metaphor, and tender diction, King illustrates a gender dynamic granting men control in which Jack struggles to conform and Wendy is successful in following. By using resentful language, King indicates that as Jack deals with control, he tries but fails to obtain control. While speaking to Al on the phone, Jack thinks, but does not voice, “First Ullman, then Wendy, now Al. What was this? National Let’s Pick Jack Torrance Apart Week?” (275). Feeling hostile, Jack bitterly thinks to himself that everyone around him is “picking him apart,” a resentful way to mean criticizing him. As a stereotypical male, Jack is supposed to be regarded with authority, not belittled like he currently is. His inner resentment...

...Other Archetypes We focus on the trickster or deceiver because her archetype ties directly to the ultimate quest of Mr. Incredible and his family. The deceit that Mirage commits is by enticing Bob, or Mr. Incredible, with a false quest of destroying a military weapon that has gone rogue. Her trickery is appealing to Mr. Incredible because it satisfies two of his main concerns. It satisfies his ability to care for his family financially and it also satisfies his desire to utilize his superhero abilities for what he believes is for the common good. The trickery or deceit archetype in this myth shows importance because it allows the viewers to see the vulnerability of the hero and later with success, shows how the hero is able to overcome the circumstance. Another female archetype in the myth is that of the mother or queen. Helen or Elastigirl, as she is known in the hero world is the matriarch or glue of The Incredible family. She understands that it is imperative for the family to continue to lead a discreet lifestyle when it relates to their superhero abilities. She does so by being the voice of reason to her husband and children even when they do not quite understand of the reasons behind their secrecy. Finally, we look at the companion or ally as many of us may refer to them as. Lucious, also known as Frozone, is Mr. Incredible’s right hand man. His character stands by Mr. Incredible, regardless of his agreement or disagreement with Mr. Incredible. From being...

...Entr 301 Fangyi Liu Governor Jack Markell During this weekend I have interviewed Governor Jack Markell, I was trying to interview Professor Mark Bambach, but I couldn’t get an appointment with him, so I have no choice to go for my back up plan: Mr. Governor. Governor Markell grew up in Newark, Delaware, and graduated from Newark High School and Brown University major in economics and development studies and received an MBA degree from the University of Chicago. After he graduated from university of Chicago, he had thousands of jobs, but three of the most unforgettable experience he had were served as Vice President for Corporate Development at Nextel, this job includes helping to lead the movement to wireless technology, worked as a senior management position at Comcast, and worked as a banker at First Chicago Corporation. Jobs seeking are not easy, remember, you are the one who need it. So show the employers and let them believe that you are qualifying for it. Attitudes are important, according to Markell. And the piece of advice he would like to share with us “jobs are not hard to find, especially for UD students, all you have to do is show them how much you want it”. As an entrepreneur, Markell led the development of several educational efforts in personal financial management, known as "the Financial Literacy initiatives." He created the Delaware Money School, which offers free classes to Delawareans throughout the year on topics such as saving for college and retirement...

...We have come a long way from the days of Feudalism where Lords were land (fief) owners and the vassals were the common folk who provided a service to the Lord for use of the land, whether it is to serve in the military or other forms as requested. This was the way of life in medieval times, up until the 15th century (Hirst, 2012). From here, the transition began from Feudalism to the early stage Capitalism, where the ordinary people broke away from the Feudal system and owned property and the means of production as well as the resources to make and maintain wealth (Dictionary.com, 2012). England in the 1800’s was hard in comparison to today. The life expectancy for a man aged 20 in 1850 was 60.1 years compared to 76.7 in 2004 (Geoff Canyon's Appeal to Authority, 2009). This was mainly due to the living conditions and especially those in the poor area of East London, where animals not only shared the often over crowed living area with humans but also the human waste that was thrown onto the streets. Often those who lived in the bottom apartments lived close to if not in the stench, more so than those who lived multiple stories above the streets. With the pollution of human waste in the streets and the polluted River Thames from the sewage of the West End, no matter where you lived in the East End, you still had to walk through the rising filth. These living conditions were the main reason for the various outbreaks of diseases, sores and premature deaths during the 1800’s...

...CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, social performance, or sustainable responsible business/ Responsible Business) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. The goal of CSR is to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders. The term "corporate social responsibility" came into common use in the late 1960s and early 1970s after many multinational corporations formed the term stakeholder, meaning those on whom an organization's activities have an impact. It was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders as a result of an influential book by R. Edward Freeman, Strategic management: a stakeholder approach in 1984. Proponents argue that corporations make more long term profits by operating with a perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from the economic role of businesses. Others argue CSR is merely window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. CSR is...

...What will he do with this information? A DOZEN big screens hang on the wall. Maps flash. Numbers stream by. The Alibaba Group’s “live data monitoring room” offers a snapshot of frantic activity: Chinese firms trading with foreign ones; Chinese individuals buying clothes from each other. Perhaps half a billion people use Alibaba’s various online services. The group’s diminutive founder, Jack Ma, smiles that business is “pretty good”. Yet he is far from satisfied. In a country where tycoons are often the children of politicians, Mr Ma stands out. He failed twice to get into college. He learned English from the radio. He stumbled on the internet during a trip to America as an interpreter in the mid-1990s. He typed the phrase “Chinese beer” into a search engine. No results appeared. He saw an opportunity. He started Alibaba in 1999, to help small firms find customers and suppliers without going through costly middlemen. Alibaba.com now claims to have 57m users, including some in nearly every country. It is sometimes likened to eBay, but is more like an online Yellow Pages. Related topics * China * Science and technology * Internet * E-commerce * Business Another venture, Taobao.com, sells to consumers.
