As Minister Jennings, Hollie and Shelby Boyles and Mitchell were attending to the side of the street, Ethan Couch hauled out of his carport. A very inebriated Couch sped down the thin two-path nation street, apparently going at about 70 miles for every hour and notwithstanding playing chicken with approaching autos, as indicated by Tarrant Region Aide Criminal Lead prosecutor Richard Alpert. In testimony tapes acquired by ABC News, Sofa's companion, Starr Teague, affirmed, "I was shouting at him that he expected to get over. What's more, when he swerved, the back tires yanked, and we slid off into the side jettison." Another traveler in the truck, Garrett Ballard, affirmed he "just saw something in the street and afterward noisy blast, then …show more content…
Auto parts, bodies and garbage were scattered all over, he said. "When I discovered Hollie and, and I realized that ... she was no more. At that point it was a matter of 'alright, so where is Shelby?'" Boyles said. What's more, around 20 feet not far off, Boyles found the body of his little girl hurled against a wall. Kevin McConnell, Minister Brian Jennings' closest companion, then drove upon the disaster area. "The flotsam and jetsam in the street that I saw was the seats that we had been taking back to the congregation and my heart just sank. I resembled, 'Goodness, my God, it's Brian,'" McConnell described. McConnell mixed out of his auto and discovered Jennings lying in a trench. Just minutes after the fact, Brian Jennings' significant other, Shaunna Jennings, who was driving home from her child Evan Jennings' graduation party, landed on the frightful scene. "I saw him [Brian] and realized that it wasn't great since I could see Kevin was performing mouth to mouth on him. It's practically similar to viewing a motion picture. Dislike it's transpiring. However, it was," Shaunna Jennings told

The story kicks off right away as Duff is leaving his parents’ house in Richmond, Virginia. He is beginning his journey to Los Angeles to be a computer programmer. He leaves his home town in his used three-thousand dollar, white, Ford Escort. He bought the car from the owner of a pizza shop down the street strictly for the long trip. Duff didn’t care much about cars, as longs as they get him from place to place. Duff pulls onto the highway and drives for about fifteen minutes before something goes terribly wrong. A weird noise came from the front of the car and then a loud bang. The car rolled to a stop near a small exit. Duff looked at the engine, but had no hope of knowing what happened. So Duff called a tow-truck which took the car five miles west to a garage in a small hick town. The mechanics diagnosed that he had thrown an engine rod. This usually happens if the engine doesn’t get oiled enough. Duff had no idea of the last oil change since he had only had the car for two weeks.

The main theme of the book Ethan Frome is failure. It is shown in three ways throughout the story: Ethan's marriage, him not being able to stand up to Zeena, and his involvement in the "smash up".
That night, many witnesses reported having seen a man changing the tire of his van and waving any possible help away angrily while others reported seeing a woman wandering around the side of the dangerous highway. More witnesses reported that Kenneth and his wife were having many violent disputes at their home that usually resulted in Kenneth pursuing an angry Yvonne around the block. The most compelling evidence against Mathison, however, is purely scientific. Detective Paul Ferreira first noticed that the extensive blood stains inside the Mathison van. After hearing Mathison’s original account, he summoned the assistance of famed forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee to analyze what he thought was inconsistent evidence. Blood stains on the paneling and the spare tire in the cargo area reveal low-velocity blood stains meaning that the blood probably dripped from Yvonne’s head onto the floor. The stains found on the roof and steering wheel were contact transfer patterns probably caused by Mathison’s bloody hands. Blood stains on the driver’s side of the van were contact-dripping patterns which indicate that Mathison touched the inside of the van multiple times before and after moving his wife’s body. The final groups of blood stains on the instrument panel of the van were medium-velocity stains which show investigators that Mathison probably struck his wife at least once in the front seat causing the blood to fly from her open head wound. The enormous amounts of blood inside the van lead prosecutor Kurt Spohn to investigate the Mathison case as a murder instead of a misdemeanor traffic violation.

Throughout “Ethan Frome,” Edith Wharton renders the idea that freedom is just out of reach from the protagonist, Ethan Frome. The presence of a doomed love affair and an unforgiving love triangle forces Ethan to choose between his duty and his personal desire. Wharton’s use of archetypes in the novella emphasizes how Ethan will make choices that will ultimately lead to his downfall. In Edith Wharton’s, “Ethan Frome.” Ethan is wedged between his duty as a husband and his desire for happiness; however, rather than choosing one or the other, Ethan’s indecisiveness makes not only himself, but Mattie and Zeena miserable.
There are certain people in the world where they "see obstacles as threats. Still others see obstacles as meaning they cannot succeed" ("Overcoming Obstacles."). This is the type of thinking Ethan and Mattie had throughout the story. Being in love caused them to see Zeena as the threat and be scared of overcoming her due to the fact that they might upset her or bring her down, although they still loved her. An example of an obstacle between them would be Zeena's black cat, which she loved deeply and care for. During the time Zeena believed she was seriously ill she decided to go out of town and look for answers in order for her to get better. This caused for Ethan and Mattie to be left alone in the house, but not everything was lovely between them. In the back of their head they still had Zeena, although Zeena was not physically there she was still there spiritually and the black cat was there to remind them of her. "They drew

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton is about a young Ethan Frome, who lives in the snowy and dull town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. He lives a complicated life, as he is sort of troubled in choosing between a seemingly unattractive wife and a vigorous cousin-in-law. Ethan is simply tormented with various internal conflicts, in the likes of which his characteristics and lifestyle, his friends and family, and the environment play a role in his personal unhappiness.
Edith Whartons, “Ethan Frome,” is a classic tragic love story where the imprisonment of a love triangle is established by the contrasting archetypes of Mattie, Zeena and Ethan. This is caused by the contrasting archetypes Wharton created along side with these characters. Ethan Frome’s archetype is evidently a lover and a caregiver, which can be proven when Ethan “put a premature end” to his “unfinished studies” to c are for his frail parents. Furthermore his lover archetype is reflected when “his heart beating fast” due to the anticipation of seeing Mattie while picking her up. When the narrator says, “Whom his desertion would leave alone and destitute,” the narrator suggests that Ethan’s concern for Zeena prevents him from pursuing his own desires. However, in trying to keep Zeena from suffering, Ethan makes both Mattie and Zeena miserable.

Euthanasia is term that would appear to mean very different things to different people. If a horse breaks its leg or a dog gets cancer, it is considered kind, and humane to euthanize said animal. However, if one suggests euthanasia of a person, he polarizers a room. The issue becomes mercy versus murder, ending suffering versus playing God, life versus death. The question is then who is right, who is wrong, and where does the line blur.
