Adnan Syed is guilty


After researching more about the case and reviewing outside sources I believe that Adnan Syed is guilty for the crime.
                There are many sources such as The Telegraph that claim Adnan’s trial was botched and that there was not enough physical evidence to convict him. Adnan also received poor legal advisement and his lawyer failed in some of her duties by not using the witness who reports that they saw Adnan in the library at the time of the crime. Due to the faults of Adnan’s lawyer Adnan will be getting a retrial and because of this and the podcast Serial many people do believe that Adnan is innocent, however I believe the opposite.
Image result for Serial                I think that Adnan is guilty because while there is a lack of physical evidence the small amount that was provided and the statements from Jay are enough to convince me and apparently the jury that Adnan is guilty. Although Jay’s story was shaky at times and changed frequently he still makes the bold claim that he helped Adnan bury the body of the victim and his story can be solidified by the proof in the cell phone records. The article written on Reddit “Top Ten Reasons Adnan Syed is Guilty of Murder Beyond a Reasonable Doubt in This World but Innocent in the Intergalactic Multiverse” also shows many important details to remember when reviewing this case. Some of the largest points against Adnan in this article include certain statistical probabilities such as “Over 90% of women murdered by men are murdered by someone they know.” A second major thing that the article writes about are multiple times where Adnan can be caught lying. In total I think that Adnan killed Hae Min Lee because he had a reason to want to kill her as they had just broken up. I also find it far too convenient for Adnan to not remember what he was doing during that time. While the average person may not be able to remember what they did months ago, after such a long time in prison and during the case I think that he would be able to remember something of what he was doing especially since if he had truly been doing something else he could have proved his innocence.
In conclusion while there are good reasons for Adnan to have a retrial and for the case to be looked into further I still think that Adnan is guilty and is just using his lawyer’s fault’s during the case as a excuse to get another chance to get away with the crime.

Archetypal literary theory in the first 2 thirds of George Orwell's Animal Farm.

Now that I have read the first two thirds of the book or up to chapter 8 I am now applying archetypal literary theory to this book. At this point in the book many bad things have begun happening to animal farm with the consensus government being replaced by a dictatorship run by the pig Napoleon who chased his only other political rival (Snowball) off the farm. This blog post will be about all the different archetypal patterns displayed throughout the story up to this point. As there seems to be no main character and the book revolves around the entire society the main archetypes are those of the individual characters within the society. These archetypes are mostly very basic but because many of them are so different from each other they add together to form a very realistic group of personalities. They include archetypes such as the trickster, the greedy pig and the hard-worker. The pig "Squealer" who in the book acts as the trickster as he is brilliant with words ...

Should grade 12 university English be a requirement for entry into all university programs?

I believe that grade 12 university English should become a prerequisite for any university course. I think that every university student having grade 12 university English would be very beneficial for both the students and the teachers. As many university courses would require you to take some basic classes including English called general education courses  therefore all students having grade 12 university English would ensure that they are prepared to succeed in all areas of their university education not just one class. As stated before having this basic English education would not only help for any mandatory English courses but for all university endeavours. A quality English education also teaches you how to take quality notes and how to successfully write down your ideas or thoughts in correct presentation or form as many courses will require well written responses to questions. Making grade 12 university English mandatory will also help students get all the requir...

Star Wars is a remix

Star Wars is a brilliant and original creation however, it still used many elements and scenes from other different movies and television shows at the time. This is shown and described wonderfully in episode two of Everything is a Remix  when the video shows specific examples of scenes in Star Wars that draw heavily from other films. The beginning of the proof that Star Wars is a remix comes from common archetype that it follows. This archetypal pattern is of a hero who goes on a quest and completes specific tasks along the hero’s journey. There is an abundance of films that follow this pattern and are in this archetype. Whether the creators planned for it or not many of the same overall plot points or details that are explained in the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces written by Joseph Campbell can be seen in so many different stories. Secondly as the video points out there are many different scenes that can be traced back to previous creations made by other people. Inc...
