I think that your adreneline kicks in when you are put in a situation like this, and if you have the training you kind of run on automatic pilot. You do what you have to do and don't think about the consequences, about whether your actions are right or wrong.
I don't understand why anyone should have to stop and think about the consequences in a life threatening situation. If you are willing to risk your life to help someone, there should not be any consequences .....

Grisham effectively but also hastily sets the setting to the story then, to draw in the reader, explodes into the main event of the story, Romey’s suicide. Grisham has a amazing method of writing to make the reader feel part of the happening action. "Mark stared at the wild, glowing face just inches away. The eyes were red and wet. Fluids dripped from the nose and chin. ‘you little bastard’ he growled through clenched, dirty teeth."
As the story unfolds the plot thickens. Jerome Clifford, the man who committed suicide was well known as at the time o .....

If he had lost his temper, the suitors would have killed him, his son, and most likely taken over the kingdom. That didn’t happen though. Odysseus learned self-control and humility. He may not be perfect at it, but going through all the humility made him a better man. Along the same topic, he was a king going through this humility. It would be one thing for a peasant to go through it, but a king? This made it even harder for Odysseus. He had rank above all the suitors and could rightly kick them out of his ki .....

All night sometimes.” (p. 124) Dodge would not allow this abomination to grow up and live in his family, so he drowned it, and buried it in the backyard. We can guess that this is when the farm ceased to be fertile, and fell into disuse. This is a symbol of the death of honesty and the birth of the family’s terrible secret.
Why exactly does everything go wrong for this family? We don’t know exactly when the problems started, but we know that Ansel died on his honeymoon, Bradley c .....
