A Ticket out of the Past By (Teresa) Yung-Ching Chuang Life is like an ascent, the more you climb, the higher you will get. J. C. Burke skilfully undertakes this philosophy as a source of inspiration for ‘The story of Tom Brennan’. It is not another crazy adventurous tale with a heroic storyline that seems unrealistic; the novel is about individual representation as Burke insightfully illustrates the long and slow journey of Tom Brennan, navigating through his road of self-discovery that eventually
ethical dimension: Should the Brennan brothers he held personally liable, because they mislead their attorney? Why or why not? The benefits of a corporation The pierce corporate veil is exposing the shareholders to personal liabilities{RMBCA}. Brennan’s Inc. is a family owned restaurant that has family members as owners and shareholders. The court case involves a dispute with another family member. The corporation is the legal entity and it separates individuals who comprise; therefore, protecting
What if you could hear the fluttering of the wings from an insect, the smell of a hot dog stand from almost a mile away, you see a small caterpillar slowly making it's way across the forest floor; what if you had senses like a wolf? In the novel Virals and Seizures this is happened to Tory Brennan and her three closest friends, Ben, Hiram, Shelton. While saving a wolfdog from malicious experimentation, they were exposed to a new genetically made virus called parvovirus XPB-19. The virus was created
voters (citizens) should be educated and have at minimum some sort of political knowledge. Concerning Brennan's four epistocratic proposals I will discuss, I will argue that universal suffrage with epistocratic veto is what I consider the least objectionable, while restricted suffrage and plural voting is the one I consider the most objectionable. In this essay, I will be discussing four of Brennan's epistocratic proposals: values-only voting, restricted suffrage and plural voting, the enfranchisement
Moving into the world involves different pathways to new experiences and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself and others. Transitions act as a catalyst for individual transformations, as significantly seen in J.C. Burke’s novel ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ and as seen in Ian Mudie’s poem “My Father Began as a God”. The Story of ‘Tom Brennan’ focuses on a family who comes to understanding that laboriously overcoming the obstacles and challenges of the past, can enhance self-growth and deepen, as
interpreted in the way that the Founders originally intended it to be, it allows for one, very specific interpretation, in which the Judicial Branch as a whole can judge things on, therefore not allowing personal interpretations to obscure rulings. Brennan’s viewpoint on interpreting the Constitution under the lens of modern understanding means that the Constitution is always going to mean different things, and the values will not stay the same. This is dangerous because what was deemed constitutional
The legal bills were sent to Brennan’s, Inc. and payments were made directly from the company’s checkbooks. In 2005, the Brennan’s filed a lawsuit against their law firm on the grounds of legal malpractice. The law firm then demanded the Brennan’s to pay their legal debts, but the court determined that the brothers cannot be held personally liable (Findlaw, 2013). The Law firm appealed the case and requested the court to pierce the corporate veil because Brennan’s, Inc. did not uphold proper corporate
The Constitution of the United States of America is perhaps the most powerful and influential document in the world. It is the supreme law of our nation, uniquely designed by the Framers to derive its sovereign authority from the consent of the people. It is the sole source of all governmental powers, and it also provides important and necessary limitations on the government that ensures the protection of the fundamental rights of United States citizens. The Founders drafted this Constitution with
However, Brennan is incorrect in that Cartwright solely blames the immigrants’ behavior for their predisposition to yellow fever. Brennan fails to consider the context around some of Cartwright’s claims that suggests the implication of New Orlean’s society. For example, while Cartwright chides the immigrants’ use of alcohol, he precedes this with the observation that “while the comforts of life … were shut against [the immigrants], the doors of more than a thousand grog shops were open day and night
brothers the title was referring to. Brennan and Dale were both in their forties, they were both unemployed, still living at home, and self- centered, spoiled men. Neither of them had the slightest intentions of moving out of their parents’ houses. Brennan’s mother meets Dale’s father at a conference, there they hit things off. These two end up getting married and moving in with each other. Which was how
With a great abundance of people becoming fascinated with crime and crime solving shows there has been a plethora of shows to accommodate them. One of the shows that has done just that is the television series Bones. The show first aired on September 13, 2005 and has been going strong for years to come, with a total of two hundred and twelve episodes in ten seasons. The six main characters are Dr. Temperance Brennan, Seeley Booth, Angela Montenegro, Dr. Jack Hodgins, Camille Saroyan, and Dr. Lance
violate the Equal Protection Clause because it treated Brennan like every other student, requiring him to use the locker room of his birth sex” (Marimow, 2018). However, this argument is not very valid due to how it does not properly acknowledge Brennan’s gender and how the school board very openly prevented Brennan from expressing his gender by enforcing the policy. Restricting Brennan from living as a person of his correct gender is the entire reason why the case involves political equality and

methods of argumentation used by both the majority opinion (written by Associate Justice Brennan) and the dissenting opinion (written by Chief Justice Rehnquist), which critiques the majority opinion. Surprisingly, both Associate Justice Brennan's majority opinion and Chief Justice Rehnquist's response, the dissenting opinion, cited Street v. New York to support their contradictory conclusions. In Street, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of the defendant, who "burned a flag in the
DeShaney v. Winnebago County was a landmark Supreme Court Case which was ruled on in February, 1989. The case revolved around Joshua DeShaney, a child who who was reportedly abused by his father, Randy DeShaney. In 1980, Joshua's parents divorced and his father won full custody. In 1983, Joshua was hospitalized for suspected abuse by his father. Winnebago County Department of Social Services got involved and four year old Joshua DeShaney was kept in the hospital's custody for three days. However
trying to avoid being detected. Unfortunately, I neglected to review this essay for content after the second draft. Reading through it, my argument was properly thought out, but contained partial sentences and confusing phrases. After reading Kate Brennan’s “Floating” again, I was able to draw from additional paragraphs that supported my original thesis. In my original paper, I did not highlight that there were multiple instances in which the husband rejected his wife, causing Satan to appear. I was
The first condition is having a clear mind and being level-headed. As much as Todd had helped fund Brennan’s research and she wanted to pay her respects, this act did not cloud Brennan’s judgment as a forensic anthropologist. On the appearance of Todd, the usual reaction from a lady such as Brennan whom Todd had helped a lot, would be jovial and celebratory. However, this was not the case with
Brennan supported the Progressive belief that civilization must seek to advance society as a whole not on an individual basis. Brennan’s philosophy on the nature of government mirrored that of Progressives like Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. Wilson highlighted the evolutionary necessity of the government to adapt in his New Freedom Speech, “The old political formulas do not fit the present problems; they read now like documents taken out of a forgotten age” The government established by
Abortion is a vicious form of inflicting murder on an innocent, unborn, and helpless child. Women abort babies daily because of unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, rape, and being forced by their parents when under age. Abortion became legal in 1973 after the Roe vs. Wade trial declared so. According to Deborah S. Romaine, “The U.S. Constitution protects both expressed, or enumerated, and unexpressed, or unenumerated, rights.” (1) And the jury for that trial believed that abortion was the right to any
