Interview: Why the US Should Decriminalize Drug Use
Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health declined drastically—one day he even passed out in the courtroom. Neal eventually pled guilty because he would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if he took his drug possession case to trial and lost. He told us that he cried the day he pled, because he knew he might not survive his sentence.[1
I believe that flashbacks could be used to slow the pace of a story. If you are telling one story, and then decide to introduce a flashback, that would only slow down the story you are already telling.
Answer:
John Snow from a psychoanalytic perspective has a very punishing great ego built by Lord Stark's teachings. And a neurotic psychological structure.
Explanation:
The first element to back this answer is that in the first place, Jhon Snow from the ice and fire saga is a very dutiful person who always acts to fulfill the impositions made by people whom he respects. First of all from Lord Stark as he is his father. Now, because he has an unfinished Oedipus he doesn't have a strong id or ego. Struggling hard to show people he is worthy of their respect and acknowledgment. Thus, he developed a neurotic personality that is only broken with alcohol or high-risk situations in which he stops following his commands and act according to his desire. An example of this is when he marries Igrith.
