week one

QUESTION 1: THE analogy Jesse made between working as a defense lawyer and war was very appropriate.With him being a veteran from the Vietnam war it was typical for him to compare his job a defense attorney to war. the comparison was very appropriate because as describe in the text the work of a defense attorney is grimy like war.
I would be a defense attorney because i want to keep people out of jail and that is what they do. i would also like to be a defense attorney because they make more money then a prosecution attorney

  2. Q2.I think jesse does compare his work to war enough but not alot. I believe he does that to depict an similarity between the two since he is a defense attorney and a veteran. Jesse is portraying that his work and past occupation coincides through examples and imagery.

  3. Week One: Quote Analysis-"Jesse unclenched his fists and closed his eyes yo help release the anger" ( vea.P38)
    - I chose this quote because it shows how much anger Jessee's job bring to him. and when reading this quote it made me think why is he even a defense layer if it makes him so anger.

  4. The analogy that Jesse makes of war and being a defense attorney is very appropriate. Jesse being a former veteran of the Vietnam War coincides with him now having a(n)occupation as a defense attorney. In a sense defending your country is relevant to defending those in society. One does not know why they are fighting exactly or why they are truly defending those in society, they just know that this is what they have to do and is what they have chose to do. I would be a defense attorney rather than a prosecution attorney because alot of innocent men and women go to jail because of crooked prosecutors who only care about winning and not displaying the truth.
