Street-wise and gutsy at 17, Gizmo is kicked out of home and into a hostel for teenagers in Radford, Nottingham. Gizmo quickly makes friends with two other residents, Val and Boo Boo Girl and the girls realise that by selling their bodies for money in the infamous Forest Road red-light district, they can fund their lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and battling to have a good time. The reality and darkness of inner city life engulfs the feisty trio as Boo Boo Girl is raped by a middle-aged punter, Robert. The ensuing court case collapses when Boo Boo Girl is humiliated on the witness stand for being a working girl and Robert is acquitted. Armed only with a small knife, her Dogknife, compelled by rage and her deep sense of justice, Gizmo's plans for bloody revenge catapult her away from the increasingly dangerous streets of Nottingham into the world of imprisoned young offenders and institutionalised cycles of violence. Told from Gizmo's slang-heavy point of view, by a writer who knows, Dogknife is a gritty account of life on the streets of Nottingham in the late 90s, when drugs and crime are on the rise and the city is about to hit the national headlines for all the wrong reasons. Welcome to Nottingham, this is Dogknife.

In a parallel universe that mirrors our own, a renegade titan forges a new hero to confront an ancient cabal of deceit and corruption. A vast conspiracy threatens to enslave humanity once and for all and the truth can only be revealed by making manifest all that is hidden.

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Present, grade: -, -, course: EPQ, language: English, comment: This essay represents the culmination of a project examining the most esteemed moral perspectives and their determinants. This is, however, only a brief essay (due to word limitations) and is no great attempt to expound any moral/philosophical theory. Despite these limitations, I feel that this essay has effectively dealt with the question set within the boundaries imposed upon it., abstract: There is, in modern society, a general trend of antipathy regarding morality, leading to an acceptance of unconsidered egocentric utilitarianism. This essay sets out to combat blind consequentialism in its most esteemed form, in favour of a considered approach, regardless of perspective. The outcome is a brief analysis of the concepts and arguments in one of the most prominent debates in ethics, providing a concise evaluation of the key tenets of both sides.
