Dostoyevsky for some strange coincidence writes about a place that resembles that of St. Petersberg. (wonder why). Well Dostoyevsky wasn’t entirely poor; however, he was around a lot of poverty. I found this interesting; he and his siblings had to swat flies that got near his father when Dostoyevsky’s father was sleeping. According to the Wikipedia entry his father died by vodka and was an alcoholic, if this is true then it explains why Dostoyevsky writes about a family in C&P that has a destructive alcoholic father.
Is it a crime if you do it for good reasons? YES IT IS. I believe that committing a crime is committing a crime. I also believe in circumstantial purposes. But with that I can go on forever about a million surface ideas and I’m too lazy for that. But I digress, if I were to kill let’s say The Covenant(Halo reference), well I committed a crime, but the story is crime and PUNISHMENT. What would my punishment be if I were to kill The Covenant? Maybe prison, death, a slap on the hand, or even a high five. (Probably the last one I mean who cares) This is where the circumstances come into play, if I killed them for sport, and then yeah I should get death or prison. If I killed them by accident, well I still took a life and that’s wrong but should my punishment be more severe, I don’t think it should as severe but I should still receive a hefty punishment, but I would be killing them for the safety of the world and its still a crime.HA I’m rambling like Levi. The definition of crime is :
Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction. (from Wikipedia through google.)
By this definition yes, crime is still crime even for good reason.
