Alphonse-Personal Narrative
A day like any other A boy, aged 16 with fair hair and shining blue eyes weaved his way through the
bumbling throng of people in the hallway, headed towards his next class. A scowl of determination
had settled across his features, as he dragged himself past people. He would not allow himself to be
swept away in the sea of chaos that reigned the hallways. He bumped into a girl, who let out a yelp
as she fell to the ground. The fair haired boy crouched down and mumbled an apology to the girl,
before standing again and continuing. It was close to a minute later when he reached the classroom,
and dropped into his seat with a deep exhalation of relief. Moments later the teacher entered the

The teacher's words blended with his thoughts, and he couldn't quite distinguish between the two.
What had happened was not something he would have believed possible. He had been told his
whole life that although people who looked like him were split from the others, everybody was
happy. "Our society today prides itself in its incomparable order, the split creates a fair society in
which everybody can prosper." He knew the two groups were split, but he had assumed fair meant
equal. But was it? If his classmate viewed them as scum, did that mean others did too? "This
admirable society was achieved by Germany, during their rise to international dominance. Thanks to
the German rule, we now live in a society fully under control by the German Furor Audwin Hitler."
Was their society truly fair? Was it possible that it was all a lie? No. Perhaps he was just
overthinking things. There was no way their society wasn't perfect. Why would the superiors lie? "If
Germany hadn't won World War II, our society would not exist today. Our next unit will study the
events that led to Germany's success." Besides, it wasn't like the world could've been any

Alphonse's False-Original Writing
Sweat dripped down Alphonse's face as he guided his father mule's through the rows of dirt. While,
digging it up for the growing season to start, he felt relieved when the heat lifted from his shoulders.
It was awfully hot in Ohio, so he didn't think much of it until the mule had stopped turning the soil.
Deftly, Al leaped off the back of the mighty creature to find his hooves covered in vines. As quick as
a flash, he whipped a hunting knife from his pocket, and cut the large animal free. Finally, Alphonse
turned to the wake of his tilling, to see a wall of vines and plants. He heard a cry in the distance,
shouting his name, but he had been fastened to the ground, both mentally and literally. Before he

He hastily assuaged his young sister and hugged her.
"It's alright. I'm here" This wasn't the first time this had happened. It has been every night since that

Alphonse Capone: Gang Crime
Chicago is home to two major things: big pizza and big traffic. When Alphonse Capone was active
in it though, it was known for a third thing, big amounts of gang crime! Alphonse Capone is one of
the recognized figures of gangland history. Throughout the early 1900s, he managed to run an entire
crime syndicate and never got caught doing it. This was because Alphonse Capone knew how to
operate without getting his hands dirty, which can be found in how he operated himself, how he
operated using the legal system, how he operated using his cronies, and his last attempts at operating
in prison. "To understand a man you must understand his memories." This quote from Anthony
Quayle gives insight into understanding people. To better understand Alphonse ... Show more

The most famous gangland massacre, the St. Valentines Day Massacre, is an event he organized but
did not do himself. He had some of his gang members dress up as cops, take four fully automatic
guns, and then act like they busted rival smuggler Frankie Yale's newest shipment. Lining them up
as if they were arrested, the fake cops opened fire, killing them all. Frankie Yale himself wasn't
present at the scene because he had seen the cops and didn't want to get caught. This is the only
thing that kept him from being brutally murdered with the rest of his cohorts.

Annotation of "After You my Dear Alphonse" by Shirley Jackson
The story that I have chosen to annotate is 'After you my dear
Alphonse' written by Shirley Jackson. Shirley Jackson was born in the year of 1919 and later died in
1965. She is best known for her stories and novels of horror and the occult, rendered more terrifying
because they are set against realistic, common place backgrounds. After graduating from Syracuse
University, Jackson married literary critic
Stanley Edgar Hyman. 'Life among the savages' (1953) and 'Raising
Demons' (1957) are witty and humorous fictionalized memoirs about their life with their four
children. Her most famous works include the short story collection 'The Lottery' (1949), in which

has three themes but the main theme projected in the story is the theme of racial prejudice. The other
two themes are the theme of narrow mindedness and stereotypes. The writer contrasts the children?s
acceptance of each other in friendship and obliviousness to skin color, to Johnny?s mother, Mrs.
Wilson?s prejudice nature and conditioned reflexes of racial differences. Mrs. Wilson?s reaction to
Boyd comes of as superior due to her marginalized social conditioning.
The title of the story itself, ?After you my dear Alphonse? is extremely symbolic and extremely
important in the aid analyzing the text thoroughly and being able to identify the key themes
portrayed throughout the story. Through the clever use of repetition throughout the text, Shirley
Jackson has enabled the reader to recognize the thoughts that she has depicted in the story. Also the
fact that Johnny and his African American friend Boyd keep repeating the phrase ?After you my
dear Alphonse? and ?no after you my dear Alphonse? through out the text is seen as very symbolic
to the theme of racial prejudice as the phrase ?after you my dear Alphonse ? originated with a comic
strip that first appeared in 1905. Alphonse and Gaston were characters in the once popular gag for
politeness, which appeared in the newspaper
The New Journal. ?After you my dear Alphonse is an expression which is generally used when two
people go back and forth, suggesting that the other go first as a way

An Analysis Of Alphonse Gabriel 's Al Capone
Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947) is my great grandmother's
(Raiola) cousin. Although, I could not interview him I asked many family members about him and
got an abundance of family stories. Since parts of my family did not want to be connected to the
mob they chose to change our last name from De Vito to De Vita to Americanize it and separate
themselves from the mob. Al Capone was the son of two poor Italian immigrants, which at that time
in history meant you didn 't matter, so he had to find guidance with the only people that took an
interest in him but unfortunately for him it was some of the biggest mob leaders in New York. Even
with that kind of influence hard to believe that a once soft spoken, intelligent kid from a good family
would grow up to run a major city with blood, bullets, and alcohol.
First, Capone 's lack of tolerance for authority and people who didn 't respect him was obvious from
a young age. In sixth grade a female teacher called Capone a dago and slapped him during a
argument in class, which angered Capone to the point where he punched the female teacher in the
face breaking her nose (Al Capone: Scarface). After the incident, the Capone family moved to a new
neighborhood, where Capone would meet the man that would help change his life forever. Johnny
Torrio was at the time the most successful and respected gangster in New York and his headquarters
was located across the street from the Capone 's new house. Torrio

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Alphonse Capone was born on January 17, 1899. He grew up in rough neighborhood in Brooklyn,
NY where he would attend school only up to the sixth grade, when dropped out. Capone got his
nickname &#8220;Scarface'; from a knife attack by the brother of a woman whom Capone had
insulted. The attack left him with three scars across his face and a new nickname.
Capone joined his first gang when he became part of the James Street Gang, headed by the well–
known Johnny Torrio. In 1920, upon the request of Torrio, Capone went to work for
Johnny&#8217;s Uncle, Big Jim Colosimo. Colosimo was ... Show more content on

Capone was able time and time again to avoid criminal charges, and became a true racketeer, an art
of its own. Ironically, the government finally was able to put Scarface behind bars on charges of
federal income tax evasion. He was sentenced to eleven years in prison. Eleven years that
couldn&#8217;t even be saved by the four million–dollar bribe offered by
Capone&#8217;s attorneys.
In 1934 Capone was transferred to Alcatraz, and in 1939 he was paroled. Suffering from syphilis
that had begun to drive him insane, Capone knew he could no longer run his Chicago empire, so he
retired to his Miami Beach mansion. The exact place where on January 25, 1947 Alphonse

IMPORTANCE IN THE TWENTIES
In 1920 when prohibition became law, a large portion of the population still wanted alcohol. But not
many were willing to put themselves at risk to sell it to others. Some did take advantage of
prohibition, but none more than Al Capone. With the rise of the telephone, the increase of
automobiles, the invention of the Thompson machine guns Capone was able to create an illegal
empire like no other.
When in came to bootlegging during the time of prohibition, Capone knew how to get to people, and
how to make a huge profit out of it. Another thing Capone was good at was avoiding the law.
Whether he blackmailed someone or he talked his way out of it, he

Analysis Of The Poem ' After You, My Dear Alphonse, ' I Am...
I have chosen to explore the significant theme of "Prejudice in Authority". This theme is evident
throughout the texts After You, My Dear Alphonse by Shirley Jackson, Race Relations by Jean
Burgess, I Am Not Esther by Fleur Beale and Indian Education by Sherman Alexie.
In the short story, "After You, My Dear Alphonse," the theme of 'Prejudice in Authority' is
displayed. Mrs Wilson, the eldest and most dominant character, makes stereotypical and
discriminating assumptions about Boyd, an African American child who her son brings home for
lunch. Mrs Wilson automatically thinks he is from a typical, deprived black family. An example of
her prejudice occurs when she offers Boyd clothes, assuming that Boyd and his family cannot afford

We aren't born to be a certain way, it is the type of environment we are brought up in, and the
influences upon us, which determines our character.
"Prejudice in Authority" is also displayed in the poem, "Race Relations." In this poem, two children,
one with light skin and the other with darker skin, enjoy each other's company, oblivious to their
differences in skin colour. This shows that the children don't have any sign of racism or prejudice
towards each other. However, the white girl's mother becomes enraged at her daughter for being
with a black person. "He'll scold you, And serve you right, who have no proper pride." The mother
says she deserves to be told off and labels her daughter as having no pride, simply because she is
with someone of black skin. This tells me that the mother has strong prejudice and racism towards
black people. The white child's mother then orders her to go inside. Regardless of whether she
thinks her mother is right or wrong, she obeys these orders as her mother is the dominant figure.
This shows me the dominance and influence a parent has over their children. In parenting, the way
you bring up your child determines how that child turns out. The white child, in this text, will end up
having a more prejudiced mindset, in the future, due to this experience of witnessing that, being
with a coloured person is punishable. This

Should Alphonse Be Considered To Have Personhood?
There are many issues with John Locke's theory. For example many people cannot remember what
they had for breakfast– does this in turn make them a different person to who ate breakfast yesterday
(Della Rocca M 2014)? This question is raised and even looked upon by Locke, he simply states that
this in fact means you are not the same person as the one who ate breakfast other morning. This is a
complex idea to wrap ones head around. How can we be the same person we were ten years ago and
yet not the same person we were yesterday morning? No philosophical theory can be considered
perfect and though Locke's theory has issues it still does not disclaim the validity as all of the
viewpoints presented within this essay have problems that still lack solutions. ... Show more content

There is one last view on this topic that could bring a definitive ending to this debate. This
viewpoint comes from an ancient Greek philosopher known as Protagoras of Abdera (Mark, J 2012).
He is most famous for stating that 'man is the measure of all things that they are, and of the things
they are not" (Mark, J 2012). Breaking this down it simply means that a person is who or what they
say or think themselves as. It is similar to Descartes, 'I think, therefore I am' principle. If Alphonse
thinks himself a person than he is a person by his own standards, similarly if the armoured man who
is in the exact same situation thinks himself not a person then he is in fact not a person. Putting it
simply a person only has to consider themselves a person to have personhood. This intern ties in
with the original dictionary meaning of a person, the quality of having personhood. If someone
considers themselves to have personhood then they

' The Last Lesson, By Alphonse Daudet
In the short story written by Alphonse Daudet, "The Last Lesson" starts off with a young boy with
the name of Franz in which he is contemplating wither he should do the right thing and go to school,
or skip school and go spend the day out in the woods with the birds and animals. Franz frantically
decided to go to school, even though he was already late. As Franz hustled to school, he had no clue
that it was going to be the last time he would be going to school before everything changed. Franz,
along with the people of the town were notified that it would be the last day that the school that this
town revolved and grew up around, would no longer be the same. As the towns people realized that
their school that they grew up in and the only school their kids have ever attended was being taken
over by Berlin, and the German language. Most of the one's that felt like they should show respect
for which they did not show to the school when they were younger, came and sat in the last French
class that would ever be held inside of the school. The amount of respect the town had for the school
and for the teacher, Mr. M. Hamel, showed how much the small things that someone might not like
at the moment, might later realize was the biggest impact on their life's. When the French and
Prussia War first began, The Prussians were not going after the life style of the people in which they
grew up in and wanted to affect the lives of the people of the small towns. Actually, the war began

their experiences. The three readings that got my attention were "Zero" By Paul Logan, "I'm Just

or a new start to succeed.
In the reading "I'm just me," Lylah Alphones a multi–racial girl who wanted people to accept her as
she is. Alphones did not want people to see her as of her racial background. She got some looks and
questions from people about her race. People were trying to figure out what is her race. Alphones
did not like that because she thought that people should accept others no matter what with no
discrimination. So, the struggle of mixed identity went away because as she said "I'm just me," but
people are making hard on her so she still want to prove a point where people should not be put into
a specific box regarding their race.
Similar to Alphones, I do not like to be put in a particular ethnic group. I wanted to be just me
because when people ask about my ethnicity they automatically assume it is bad. For example,
being Arab, Muslim, and Saudi is hard especially in the United States because of what happened in
September 11th. What I believe that history is in the past, and what happened in September 11th is
gone. It was a major disaster but what I believe that we should not be all blamed. Hopefully,

The trait of discrimination is the basis for the stories, Harrison Bergeron, after you my dear

reason of race, sex, or nationality. In the short stories the author's feelings of discrimination are
expressed through the characters differently. In these stories the author has his own feelings and
thought depicted through the characters. By the popular theme of discrimination and racism it
suggests that these stories were written in the late sixties early seventies.
In the story Harrison Bergeron the whole country is handicapped except for ... Show more content

This shows discrimination against everyone because they are taking that person's freedom away and
judging them on their looks and abilities. A man named Harrison who would be a sport super star in
real life because of his outstanding talent is fitted with weights and other handicaps to make him like
everyone else. He revolts and overcomes his handicaps but is soon killed for breaking the law. In
this story discrimination plays a big part in how the main character revolts.
The next example is in the story, after you my dear alphonse. In this story a boy becomes friends
with an African American boy named Boyd and brings him home for lunch, when he gets home his
mother is shocked to see her son with this boy. The mother assumes that the father works hard labor
in the fields and that the boy will grow up and do the same. But that?s not the case, the boys father
works in a factory. This is an example of discrimination because the mother assumes things just
because he is black.
The last example of discrimination as a theme for a short story is in The Lottery. In this story a
community has a lottery every year and the winner is stoned to death. The theme of discrimination is
shown when they just pick a random person and kill them. That discriminates against that person
because they show hate for little or no reason.

A man of innovation, style, and creator of labyrinthine masterpieces in all media, Alphonse Mucha

Mucha developed a reputation with his posters, architecture, jewelry and sculpture that had never
been seen before; a complex weaving of lines and pastel colors featuring voluptuous women and a
harmony that can only be described as: Mucha style. His graphic designs and posters often hold the

He set out to create his own destiny in Vienna building sets for the plays and remained with the
theatre, despite the rollercoaster of hardships and opportunity that proceeded. In 1887, he moved to
Paris from the generosity of Count KhuenBalasi, to study and begin his journey in true art. During
this time Paris was at the beginning of its state of economic recovery from the Franco–Prussian war,
so the nation was flourishing and rebuilding with a vibrant optimistic outlook (Mucha S, 11.) Paris,
following the industrial revolution led by Britain, began constructing new inventions, vehicles, and
processes. A prolific example is the monumental building of the Eiffel Tower for the World's Fair.
The world of art was responding to this new boom of wrenches and gears with: Art Nouveau, a
highly stylized and decorative art, framing the importance of organic, botanical, and true form of the
objects. So while the world focused on exact and complicated features, the artists in Paris were
simplifying, making decadence, and flow emerge out of their art. The one who had the most
harmony, intensity and influence in Paris was Mucha. Mucha was fascinated with another Fin–de–
siècle Parisian movement: allure to the occult or spiritualism. The followers derived their belief in a
"World Soul" from a mash up of religions including: Buddhism, Jewish Kabala, Brahmanism,

Different text types that are based of different ideas often can often explore similar issues in society.
Underbelly and Blackrock have varying text types of a Television medium that's multimodal and
Drama text/ theatre play that is written. Underbelly set in Melbourne, Australia in 1955 follows the
journey of Alphonse Gangitano and Jason Moran and following the crime life that they live.
Blackrock, however, follows a group of teenagers and following the murder of Tracy at a teenager's
birthday party. However, both of these texts are based on true stories, are set in Australia and have
there are similar important issues brought up between these two texts, these include the issues that
crime doesn't pay, the sexualisation of women in between the two texts and corruption within the
use of setting of these texts in which are based off true events.
In both Underbelly and Blackrock, we see a common theme that crime doesn't pay off and both texts
show multiple consequences that resulted from the crime. In Underbelly, we see that crime doesn't
pay as Alphonse Gangitano gets caught for his King Street Nightclub attack where he assaulted a
number of innocent civilians with pool cues. The consequences that Alphonse faced was that he
imprisoned as he pleaded guilty for his actions and that his wife had decided to leave him and took
their kids with her. These resulting consequences show to us how Alphonse's crime did not pay off
and the money involved was not worth it. Similarly, the

the early twentieth century, many states started making the consumption of alcohol illegal, and by

Citizens felt they should have the freedom to consume alcohol by their own choice, and the
beginning of the prohibition saw–wide spread manufacturing of bootleg liquor. Criminal gangs grew
from the highly profitable illegal liquor trade. Fighting between these gangs broke out, and many

Aurelius Alphonse Love In Diane Setterfield's The...
"All children mythologize their birth." The opening line to Miss Winter's Tales of Change and
Desperation, it is particularly true for Aurelius Alphonse Love. Abandoned on the porch of the
grandmotherly Mrs. Love in a game bag with only some scraps of paper, a silver spoon and the
scent of smoke; Aurelius must contend with the mystery surrounding his birth. Aurelius' motherless
past and his resulting fixation on families contributes to the ideas of obsession in Diane Setterfield's
The Thirteenth Tale. From Aurelius' first interaction with the narrator, Margaret, his preoccupation
with his past is apparent. Indeed, upon meeting a perfect stranger he asks the surprisingly intimate
question of "Do you have a mother?" (136) Consumed by thoughts of his own absent mother, his
orphaned nature burdens his mind and rules his communications with others. Aurelius craves any
contact with families, even second–hand. He says "All my life I have wanted to find my family," yet
even with the motherly dedication of Mrs. Love who did everything but birth him, he refuses to
allow himself to feel complete (391). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When speaking to Margaret, Aurelius uses the past tense; he "used" to think there was a secret
meaning. While this implies that he no longer believes so, as he already "tried the first letter of each
word, the first of every line" and "replacing one letter for another," covering a multitude of sheets
with his trials, he still turns the pages with his "eyes feverish, as though there was still a chance he
might see something that had escaped him before" (234). Tormented by uncertainty and plagued by
his own ignorance, Aurelius is obsessed with uncovering his past and even sixty odd years later, he
has yet to give up or move

The translucent white dress is a metaphor for virginity. As she stands beneath blossoming tree, the
blossom flowers appear in her hair symbolises the potential of new life. In her hand she holds a
branch fashioned into a lyre. Three small birds sit on the lyre – the use of birds in each season is one
of the consistent metaphors in these paintings. The Four Seasons: Summer (1896) With a delicate
background of blue sky, Mucha portrays Summer as a sultry brunette sunbathing in the glorious
sunshine. Lounging among red poppies, Summer leans against a grapevine, splashing her feet in the
shallow pool beneath. This serene image, and the metaphor for adulthood, is loved by many people.
The Four Seasons: Autumn (1896) Autumn is represented as a playful and bountiful figure. Set
amongst a rich tapestry of autumnal plants, fruits and flowers, her long auburn hair holds a wreath
of chrysanthemums. She gathers grapes from an abundant vine; a metaphor for the bountiful
supplies that Autumn offers. The Four Seasons: Winter

Anthropometry: French Criminologist Alphonse Bertillon
Anthropometry is systematic measuring's of human body parts that focuses on the dimensions of the
body size, form, and functional capacities.
French criminologist Alphonse Bertillon developed and introduced the first structured attempt at
personal identification in 1883 known as anthropometry. Alphonse Bertillon applied anthropometry
to law enforcement creating a system that he knew for sure would identify physical measurements
of body parts. Anthropometry has also found use in medical sciences within the field of forensic
medicine. Today there are many forms of measurement that are used within biological anthropology
but anthropometry is very unique, intricate, and one of the most reliable scientific methods of
criminal investigation.
At 26 years of age Alphonse Bertillon obtained a job as an assistant clerk in the criminal records
office of the Paris Police Department. Only being on the job for a couple of days Bertillon had been
thinking of ways to identify offenders and maintain their arrest and criminal history records.
Bertillon knew that no two people body measurements would ever come out identical. So he thought
it would be better to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Alphone Bertillon's System
Alphonse Bertillon was born in Paris on April 24, 1853. He was the son of the distinguished
physician, anthropologist, and physician, Louis Adolphe Bertillon (bookrags.com). Young Alphonse
was seen as hopeless through his fathers eyes. He often suffered from migraine headaches, and
nosebleeds, and was very shy and lacked social skills. However, the young Bertillon was not a
complete loss, he was an intellectual who had a thirst for knowledge and shared his father's interest
in statistics and anthropology (http://jimfisher.edinboro.edu). In the year 1875, Bertillon was
conscripted into the french army. After several years of armed service Bertillon was discharged.
With no higher education or degrees Bertillon struggled with finding ... Show more content on

He also noticed that the mug shots that were taken by indifferent commercial photographers, were of
very low quality and often the offenders intentionally distorted their faces while being photographed
to disguise their appearance. Bertillon had a general understanding of the anthropological statistics
and anthropometric techniques from the work of his father (bookrags.com). This was in the most
basic sense the study of human statistics and the measurements and proportions of the human body.
Bertillon was soon able to devise a system of identification of criminals which relied on 11 bodily
measurements as well as the color of the eyes, hair, and skin. He also added standardized
photographs of the criminals to his anthropometric data. (http://www.nleomf.org/) Bertillon believed
that if several body measurements were taken and recorded the likelihood that any two people
would have the same dimensions and measurements would be extremely rare or even nonexistent.
Now that Bertillon had conceived a way to record criminal records effectively, he had to devise a
way to store all his gathered data in a way that an individual's record could be located, within
minutes, from thousands of other body measurement records. Alphonse Bertillon soon developed a
unique filing system for the criminal records. He would first subdivide the eleven body
measurements into small, medium and large. Bertillon

Alphonse Capone: Notorious Gangster

Research Paper On Alphonse Al Capone
Alphonse "Al" Capone Back when Prohibition was the law of the land, gangsters ran the world.
Cities in the daytime were bright and happy places, but at night gunshots could be heard around
every street corner. Citizens lived in fear while police were paid to turn a blind eye when any gang
related crime was committed. During this era of United States history, a little boy was born who
would one day grow up to become the most feared mobster in America. Growing up in a poor
immigrant family in Brooklyn, Alphonse "Al" Capone terrorized the streets of Chicago but was
taken down by the IRS and tax evasion. To begin, Alphonse Capone grew up in a poor Brooklyn
community and worked for many mobster who influenced him to join the world of crime, but he still
married and had a son. Al Capone was born on January 17, 1899 to two poor Italian immigrants, he
was the fourth of nine children. At the young age of fourteen, Al Capone quit school and joined his
first gang. As Kelly King Howes and Julie L. Carnegie write, "Capone became involved at a very
early age with several youth gangs, including the Brooklyn Rippers and the Forty Thieves Juniors"
(20–21). As a youth, Al Capone was known for his temper and he committed crimes such as
vandalism and petty theft as well as getting into fistfights with rival gangs. Al Capone also ran
errands for a local mobster named Johnny Torrio. When Al Capone was older, Torrio recommended
him for a job under Frankie Yale. Al Capone was hired and became a

Alphonse Bertilon Essay
Alphonse Bertillon
Alphonse Bertillon was the first to truly create the scientific method of criminal identification. Born
in 1853, Bertillon was from Paris France and came from a family of scientific background. His
father, Dr. Louis Adolphe Bertillon, was a distinguished physician, statistician, and the vice
president of the Anthropological society of Paris. Bertillon's grandfather was also a well known
naturalist and mathematician. (Ashbaugh, 1999). Bertillon was a poor student and lacked the talent
of his father and grandfather to be successful in the science field. As a boy, Bertillon had heard his

He then sent several reports to the Prefect of Police but they turned him down. Then a new prefect
police took office that was a friend of Bertillon's father. The new prefect police finally allowed
Bertillon to introduce anthropometry on an experimental basis for three months. Bertillon made his
first identification on February 20, 1883, less than two weeks before his experiment was over.
Bertillon success of anthropometry spread to other countries. Many countries set up anthropometry
laboratories. However anthropometry would soon be replaced with a new identification method
called fingerprints. Sir Francis Galton was invited to Paris so Bertillon could increase his knowledge
of fingerprints. Bertillon felt that in the beginning that fingerprints were not very practical due to the
lack of classification system. He eventually included fingerprints on the end of his anthropometry
cards as a final check of identifications. Anthropometry was discarded in France and replaced by
fingerprint identification upon Bertillon's death in 1914. According to Jain Anil, fingerprint–based
identification is the oldest method which has been successfully used in numerous applications and
though Bertillon's anthropometry raised many valid points in forensic science, it was discarded and
replaced by the fingerprint identification method after Bertillon's death 1914.
Fingerprints, known for each person to have unique ones, are made of a series of ridges and furrows

The Role of Poor Parenting in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein...
Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, was raised by a single parent, her father William Godwin.
She acknowledges the mentally stimulating role a father plays in the development of a daughter,
presumably speaking from personal experience. She declares, "There is a peculiarity in the
education of a daughter, brought up by a father only, which tends to develop early a thousand of
those portions of mind, which are folded up" (Veeder). Shelley offers in Frankenstein a portrait of
how children's minds are shape, and ultimately their fates sealed, due to influences from their
fathers. Alphonse, Victor's father, made mistakes in his parenting that negatively shaped the
development of Victor's mind and how he treated other living things. ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
This is suggested again, when Victor confides, "till death she was to be mine only" (Shelley 36).
This exemplifies how Alphonse showed Victor, at an early age, how women were to be treated in
society. Victor was displaced twice during his adolescence when his father allowed two
nonmembers of the family into the house–first Elizabeth, then Justine. Although Victor was not
outwardly agitated, these two displacements instilled within him a feeling of loneliness. In short,
Alphonse's dominating role as father led Victor to feel isolated. Alphonse did not think deeply about
the impact that adding more members to the family would have on his son. This dominating role can
be seen again when Victor is sent off to Ingolstadt, right after his mother, Caroline, died. Victor
idolized his mother and was very attached to her. Instead of letting Victor grieve with the family,
Alphonse sends him away, leaving Victor to feel more secluded than ever. Victor is isolated from his
family and best friend Clerval, which fuels his obsession with creating the monster.
On one level Alphonse is a loving father. He created something – Victor – and did his best to nurture
his creation. He tries to care for his family and looks out for their best interest. He routinely worries
about Victor when he is at Ingolstadt because he has not heard from him for some time. In his letters
to Victor, he emphasizes his hopes that Victor is doing well and wishes him to not forget

Underbelly And Blackrock Analysis
Australian crime drama's such as Underbelly and Blackrock are constructed to represent groups
from Australian reality. These representations are designed to present ideas about groups,
reinforcing what the audience, typically Australian, already knew and thought without changing the
audience's perception completely. These groups of people are stereotyped, giving the audience a
sense of reality and at the same time engaging. The following essay will analyse the representation
of the criminal groups in the crime dramas of Underbelly and Blackrock. Blackrock is a screenplay
written by Nick Enright that explores the crime of rape and how teenage boys deal with there
associations to the crime. Underbelly is a hit TV drama that explores the streets of Melbourne during
a time known as the gangland war (1998–2004) in which 36 criminals and citizens were murdered.
Underbelly explores the mindsets and actions of the criminal calling and hiring the murders. The
two dramas construct the main criminals in different ways, but with the outcome being the same
grotesque and evil characters. Underbelly achieves this through the use of visual feature which
characterises the criminals, the perspective of the victims also is used to construct the criminals in
Underbelly. Blackrock also uses the perspective of the victims to constructs the criminals in the text
but by being a play the use of written conventions is dominant. A key difference between the two
texts are the age of the criminal

news broadcasts, reality television, songs on the radio and many more. Within this essay the idea of
personhood will be discussed by deconstructing a scene from the Japanese anime/manga Fullmetal

Due to him being capable of thought, intelligence, language and many other necessaries for
personhood under the broad definition of meta–ethics he could be considered a person. When
looking at it from the perspective of the mind and body complex it becomes evident that there are
two opposing views. When examining at it from the point of view of monism, the belief that the
mind cannot exist without the body, then Alphonse and the armoured man Edward faces cannot be
considered human as they only have a mind and therefore it is not sufficient nor necessary to say
they are the same person as they were when they were human. Dualism, the idea that the mind and
body can in fact be separate from each other specifies that if Alphonse has a soul, or sameness of
consciousness through memory he can be considered to have personhood. There are many theories
on personhood, all with their own faults in logic and after comparing them all to the situation
presented in Fullmetal Alchemist it can be seen that personhood is dependant on the viewpoint and
beliefs of the person, which can change substantially depending upon who is looking at it. A single
person cannot come to a valid conclusion on personhood as it varies from personal believes and
upbringings. This could perhaps be why Edward considers his brother and the

No matter if you're black or white, you can do anything. In, "After You, My Dear Alphonse", the

the same social level. To Mrs. Wilson's mind, black people are supposed to be on the lowest level
there is on the social class scale. She believes that black people would or should only work in
factories and leave the highest ranking positions or jobs to whites. In, "The Test", the author states,

Theme Of After You My Dear Alphonse
I have chosen to explore the significant theme of "Prejudice in Authority". This theme is evident
throughout the texts After You, My Dear Alphonse by Shirley Jackson, Race Relations by Jean
Burgess and I Am Not Esther by Fleur Beale.
In the short story, "After You, My Dear Alphonse", the theme of 'Prejudice in Authority" is
displayed. Mrs Wilson, the eldest and most dominant character, is meant to be a role model–like
figure. However, she makes stereotypical and discriminating assumptions about Boyd, an African
American child who her son brings home for lunch. Mrs Wilson automatically thinks he is from a
typical, deprived black family. An example of her prejudice occurs when she offers Boyd clothes,
assuming that Boyd and his family can't afford it as they are poor. When Boyd rejects her offer, Mrs
Wilson takes the plate of gingerbread away, just as Boyd was about to eat some – his rejection hurt
her white superiority and removed her sense of power. "There are many boys like you, Boyd, who
would be grateful for the clothes someone was kind enough to give them." It was difficult for Mrs
Wilson to see that black families can be different from one another. Mrs Wilson sees blacks as if
they are in a particular category, where they have specific and predictable qualities, instead of seeing
them as distinct individuals. On the other hand, Johnny, Mrs Wilson's son, doesn't show signs of
racism or prejudice towards Boyd, seeing him as just another one of his friends. I know this

He was technically, what we would refer to today as, a graphic artist. Advertising through posters
and postcards were his forte. His favorite subject for these works tended to be young women with
long hair, so that he could better employ the use of calligraphic lines that is a distinguishing
characteristic of Art Nouveau. Often, the women wore long flowing robes that were sometimes
classical in nature, and were surrounded by floral motifs. Later, he would come to use these floral
motifs to form halos around the subject's heads, which would eventually develop into a signature of
his style. The work that was his claim to fame was his poster Gismonda for famed Parisian actress
Sara Bernhardt. The poster was nearly life size, long and rectangular in shape, and utilized his

##ganse's Treatment Of The Creature By Victor Alphonse
In stark contrast to Victor Frankenstein's treatment of the Creature (his child), Alphonse (Victor's
father) was a man who put considerable effort into parenting Victor. Alphonse was kind, loving, and
protective of the well–being of Victor, there existed no higher desire than to see his children happy.
Yet, to some extent, Victor blames his father for not doing enough in preventing what led to ruin.
For the most part, Victor sees his father as an infallible upright man, however the instance when he
dismissed Agrippa's writings as "sad trash"(40), rather than to explain in depth why, was a failure on
his part. Ironic that Victor never attempted to nurture properly the Creature, opting instead for the
destruction of his child. Perhaps it was possible the whole tragedy could have been averted (should
Alphonse had actually explained Agrippa), but ultimately it was Victor that made the decision to
create life. Let it be said that Alphonse made the attempt (although a weak one) to dissuade Victor
from the readings, which is more so than Victor has done towards the Creature. This attempt is
coupled with M. Krempe's own dismissal of the readings, which helps to indicate opposition in what
he was reading. Alphonse was not a "tyrant(s) to rule"(39) over Victor, but a benevolent father
whom did not seek to cage him.
Shelley uses Alphonse as a foil to Victor as a parent. From what is gathered by Victor's account,
Alphonse was a man with a "sense of justice in [his] upright mind"(34),

The Sicilian Mafia, La Cosa Nostra, The Italian Mob, The Italian Mafia, and The Mafia. These are
five names for one of the most terrifying criminal organizations in the history of Europe. The name
"Sicilian" originated from a small island just offshore of the Italian mainland, located in the

This was exasperated during the Prohibition Era of 1920 to 1933, due to there being a huge demand
for illegal alcohol. During this time is when Alphonse Gabriel Capone was reaching his early 20's
and he was working as a petty thug and bookkeeper for his lifelong friend, and crime boss, Johnny
Torrio. "In 1917, Torrio introduced Capone to the gangster Frankie Yale, who employed Capone as
bartender and bouncer at the Harvard Inn in Coney Island." History.com Staff. "Al Capone."

He would soon be reunited with Johnny, who would introduce Capone to The Five Points Gang; or
the Chicago Outfit. He would work under Torio as his Right–Hand–Man, running the Chicago
Outfit for the next 3 years.
A failed assassination attempt against Johnny in 1925 rendered him minorly disabled, which forced
him to retire, and pass down the mantle of leader onto Capone. With Capone in charge of the
Chicago Outfit, came a much heavier focus on bootlegging; the act of making, selling, or

Examples Of Religion In Two Days One Night
Another example of religion portrayed in Two Days, One Night would be at the climax of the
movie, when Sandra approaches her co–worker named Alphonse. He is Sandras last hope in keeping

to help my neighbor (Dardenne)." This line is a blunt example of religion explicitly portrayed in the
Dardenne brothers film. The line spoken by Alphonse is a direct referral to religion. It is not up to
interpretation or perspective. It is a very selfless act completed by Alphonse. Similarly, in Catholic
tradition, themes of selflessness are exhibited. Jesus died on the cross in order to forgive those who
had sinned, even though he had not. This is the very definition of a selfless act.

All of these themes being a reflection of the brother's Catholic upbringing. The Son and Two Days,

themes that were implied, hinted, and indirect (material objects, occupation). Whereas, in Two Days,
One Night, there were blunt and obvious portrayals of religion/themes (verbal confirmation).
