ideas essay 4

I was thinking about writing about how people take actions of law into their own hands. From the novel that I just read, the woman had killed her husband for harming their daughter. I understand why she did it but taking matters of law into your own hands is not justice. The idea I have for essay four is to write about how people kill or harm others that do wrong.

For this essay I am reading the green mile and the 2 major issues I have to choose from is racism and police brutality. Both issues are still common in present day, I am leaning towered police brutality….how in the green mile the guards are always beating up on the prisoners. The guards should be responsible enough to control themselves since they are the law in the jail. They can almost get away with it in the prison system how it is now. I haven’t really decided on how I am going to drag it out to be 6 to 8 pages though. Any ideas for how to drag it out and turn it into an interesting paper?

In this essay I want to tackle the social issue of racism. I want to use examples of sterotypes, segregation, and welfare for my position. I have read the novel the Green Mile and I have gotten a few major examples from the novel for my essay. John Coffey was sterotyped by his race and had no help in his case.

Essay 4 Ideas

At first I was drawing a blank about what I could write about that at least had some vague relevance to my novel but when I had my novel discussion I got a few ideas. We're reading The Green Mile and one of the ideas that came to mind was racism. Racism is in several areas in the book because it's based on the early 1900's during or at least around the Great Depression. Racism is still a relevant issue in today's world as well. It would probably be a fairly easy topic to work with. Another idea is the right to a fair trial. In the book, John Coffey's court decision was practically an open and shut case with hardly an idea of "innocent until proven guilty". I will have to decide on what to use soon but at least it's a start.

Annie plans to leave Paul in what he thinks is an alley. All he knows is that it is very dark. Annie was going to get rid of the police car by hiding it in the hills, but she couldn't take Paul with her because she would have no way to get him back down from the hills. Instead she puts him in the cellar. Another cop comes to the house, and Paul warns them that Annie might be dead. If she isn't dead, then they need to be careful because she is very dangerous. Paul was the one who ended up putting her to her death. In the very end, Paul is in his hotel room re-reading his manuscript and going over his story. Paul is a survivor.
