The Milgram Experiment

US History: Case Study

1. The rules Bess follows are the typical rules for bibliography, putting his name, the title, the publication city, the publication, and then the year. The page number is also provided for the notes, not the bibliography. The first time, he writes these, the second time he takes off the place where he got the source from, and the third time he just says the source is the same.
2. In Bess' mind, annotated means finding the most important examples to make a point.
3. The notes that do not have a page number citation are 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 24, and 25. This is because some of the notes are just common knowledge or is just a majority of the book or books, and don't need to have a page number.
4. Bess credited his sources as he still writes in the language and form of other authors and therefore know the author and the book. He also quoted the authors directly sometimes. However, we wouldn't know what page number he got it from.
5. Bess' argument is original as he writes it in his own words but using the other authors' tone, especially in 5. He quotes a sentence in this passage, so that it would be directly out of the author's words to let people know it wasn't his quote, so the use of using quotes to explain the work isn't his is actually original.

Why Thanos is the Main Protagonist of Infinity War

If you've seen Avengers: Infinity War, you're either a nerd or you just like to watch movies like me, you know that Thanos is a pretty powerful guy (Spoiler Alert; he kills a lot of people). In the movie, he does a lot of bad things, including killing his own daughter, Gamora (albeit he was slightly reluctant). His main goal throughout the film was to gain all six infinity stones for his infinity gauntlet to wipe out half the universe's population. Seems pretty bad. However, as we go throughout the movie, we discover Thanos isn't a complete monster and might even be the "hero" or protagonist of the movie. His motivations are actually somewhat noble if he wasn't slightly psychotic. He wishes to rid half the universe's population as he thinks that it is torture and that with a smaller population, the universe will be a better place. For his own planet, Titan, he recommended this, but it was rejected, and soon the planet fell apart due to a large population. Thanos then took it upon himself to do the deed and gained a cult known as The Black Order and a bunch of alien monsters to do his bidding. Although his role in the beginning seemed to make him look like the ruthless main villain of the story, his role in the later part of the film also makes him look like the villain protagonist as well due to how large of a role his is in the movie. He gets a pretty good amount of screen time unlike in some other MCU movies (Guardians of the Galaxy) which makes for him being a far more direct character and threat. Also despite being a villain, he is genuinely polite and humble to others such as Iron Man or Doctor Strange even though they interfere with his goals. Another thing, Thanos' goals are bigger than anyone else's in the move (The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy are simply trying to stop Thanos) and the amazing thing, he actually succeeds in them (although this might be undone in the next movie), so the villainous protagonist's quest is complete as at the end of the movie. Yet at the end, Thanos somewhat feels remorse for what he has done as it cost him Gamora, something he didn't expect would happen, realizing that that he had to sacrifice everything just to complete his mission. The main protagonist of a movie is supposed to have notable goals and motives and the main antagonist is supposed to be blocking someone or being a threat, just like Thanos did. He is ultimately both the main protagonist and antagonist of Infinity War.
