In Contempt By Christopher Darden: A Review
Words: 1068 - Pages: 4.... off the misfortune of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. I,
however, do not believe this to be true. The way that he speaks of the victims
in the book, and the way he spoke of them before and after the trial shows that
he really cared about the lives of these people that he didn't even know. He
even went as far as to say in the book that this was the first case that

vengeance against Dimmesdale].

Words: 1067 - Pages: 4.... War. . This war was very similar to other war's
that there has been in the past and on the other hand it is not. One thing

of hardships that many people faced and some still do to this day.
Tim O'Brien, like many Americans was drafted into the war in the
1960's. He was a college graduate from a small town in Minnesota. I could
not imagine graduating college and then being asked to fight in some war

can marvel at how smart (s)he is.
There is one character that fits into no stereotype. "Leper" Lepillier
is an individualist. Individualists are people who don't conform to social

becomes more popular. I haven't met any real individuali .....
