Even Worse

Poetic Justice - the fact of experiencing a fitting or deserved retribution for one's actions. In Khaled Hosseini’s “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” a man named Jalil is ashamed of one of his daughters named Mariam. Also a man named Rasheed is a heavy fundamentalist of his religion and sometime takes it too far. Jalil is a victim of poetic justice by becoming ill and dying before not being able to make things right with his daughter after all the harm and wrong things he has done to her in her life.…

Luckily, there was a hospital behind the park. After all the surgeries, I found out that I dislocated my elbow and snapped my bone midway down my forearm. Anyone from a distance could see the bone sticking out and my elbow in the other direction. Even though I broke and dislocated my arm, to this day, I find this memory to be humorous. I find it funny because I didn’t feel any type of pain until I looked at my arm and quickly starting panicking which followed by crying. I always wondered why…

I walk up the stairs with a backpack that feels like there are bricks inside that belong on the side of a house, wishing that I had enough time to go to my locker between my classes so my backpack wouldn’t weigh so much. I have no time to go to the restroom either, so I plan on asking in class to go. I hope that I that I don’t miss Mr. Chesterton go over the study guide while I’m in the restroom. At Awty we must extend time in between classes kids don’t have enough time to get books from their…

In Bullying Is Bad, But Criminalizing Bullying Would Be Even Worse by Eli Federman, he states: “America already has the highest incarceration…

graphics explaining them. Epic Rap Battles are great hooks, with a caveat. You may need to find “clean” versions of the Raps. They can be very vulgar so this is one to use with caution, but I have found many students love the creativity. You could even find a clean one and challenge your students to come up with their own versions as…

I Will of course explain what else happened in my story, I was as I stated before in a conversation with my fellow soldiers. But it's unknown to us at the time thing here was to get much worse, Harry saw the Overseer coming and stopped talking and saluted her. When I turned around I saw old blue eyes herself also I saw that she was coming towards us. This was not the thing that made me nervous, it was the fact that the person who was leading them was the Executioner James Franklin himself. He…

killing worse than letting die, but people believe killing/letting die more is always worse than killing/letting die less. The trolley driver decides to kill one instead of five and many believe his decision was morally permissible based on the fact that killing more is worse. In the Transplant case, the doctor has the choice between killing one and letting five die. He chooses to kill the one, the same as the trolley driver, but in his case the killing is seen as morally impermissible. Even…

Is Solitary Confinement Worse Than the Death Penalty? In the world of law and order, there is a big debate about which punishment is worse, solitary confinement or the death penalty. There are both ways the government has decided to deal with serious crimes, but they are totally different. Solitary confinement means being alone for 23 hours of the day with nothing, just a blank empty room, which studies have shown leads to mental illness and in some cases even physical crises.
