... has the money to hire expensive lawyers , and they can tie up the system as long as they want. A jury would be more likely to convict a poor person in stead of sending a respectable rich one to jail. The jury might think, If he has money , why would he rob someone ? Because the fact that he/she is rich ! But this is just one place where money can play a big factor in life . Look at the medical field.

Some of the medicine out today is expensive too. Medical care is outrageous , so if you don't h ...
... Polonius' innocent involvement with the royalty results in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertrude's room. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius' death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius' family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia's death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfulness in dealing with Hamlet while he is mad, but Oph ...
... so that his revenge is justified to society and to himself. Hamlet’s duty as a son, in his social situation and circumstances, is one which encourages him to seek revenge for his murdered father.

... too, in the sense that she's caught in several triangles--the most obvious one involving Carton and Darnay. Lucie marries Darnay (he's upcoming and handsome, the romantic lead) and exerts great influence on Carton. A second, subtler triangle involves Lucie, her father, and Charles Darnay. The two men share an ambiguous relationship. Because Lucie loves Darnay, Dr. Manette must love him, too. Yet Darnay belongs to the St. Evremonde family, cause of the doctor's long imprisonment, and is thus subject to his undying curse. Apart from his ancestry, Darnay poses the threat, by marrying Lucie, of replacing Dr. Manette in her affections. At the very en ...
... job, and there is not much opportunity for their future. Under the Chinese grading system, students study very hard. For example, in order to get in to college, Hong Ling studied until 2 o’clock every night and got up at 6 o’clock every morning. Unlike China, the United States has many colleges, and many of them don’t have any hard college entrance examination. If the students have a good Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score or a good Grade Point Average (GPA), usually they can get into some good colleges, such as Berkley University, Stanford University, and Harvard University. If they have a low GPA or SAT, they still can get into some community college ...

Clytaemnestra is one who upheld the laws of the Furies. Agamemnon's murder of Iphegenia at Aulis was pure outrage. "Yes he had the heart to sacrifice his daughter , to bless the war…" (Agamemnon lines 222-223) Agamemnon killed his own blood relation in order to sail for Troy. This too, is a terrible crime, seemingly of the same weight as Orestes' act. Clytaemnestra believed she was justified in avenging her daughter, because her husband violated a sacred tenant of the old g ...

Rather wisdom, the highest form of love according to Diotima and Socrates should be sought and revered. The concept of honoring life and love as it is, exemplified in the Handbook of Epictetus. In the Handbook Epictetus specifies “not to seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen”. This concept Dionysus in the Bacchae of Euripides did not comprehend. He was embittered the Milles-Dave 2 people of Thedes did not believe th ...
