In the movie " Gone baby gone", Police Captain Doyle, Remy and Lionel take Amanda away from her Helene. Linoel thought that Amanda would be better off with Captain Doyle than her mother Helene, who was a drug addict.She didn't seem to care for Amanda and would often go to get high, leaving Amanda with anybody. Patrick and his girlfriend Angie, were the private detectives who took on the responsibility of solving the case involving Amanda's kidnapping.
At first, Patrick and Angie never had any suspicion that captain Doyle was involved in the conspiracy.They also noticed the type of individual Helene was. Lionel, Amanda’s uncle, brought her out of her mother's house and gave her to Remy. He thought that by doing so Amanda would enjoy a better future and have a family who would care for her.
After becoming more involved in the case, Patrick and Angie started to realise who were the people involved in the kidnapping of Amanda. Eventually, after sorting out the information, Patrick realises that Captain Doyle and Remy were the central figures behind the kidnapping of Amanda. Patrick then told Angie about his findings. Angie then disagreed with patrick’s action. She, like all the other characters in the movie, believed that the kidnapping was in the best interest of Amanda. Patrick had also made a promise to Helene, that he would bring back her child.
Captain Doyle, Remy and Patrick displayed what some would call ethical absolutism. Captain Doyle having suffered the loss of his daughter thought that by taking Amanda, he was trying to save her from a bleak future and took her without any fear of the consequences that would arise from such an action. On the other hand, Patrick,who had a different idea believed that it was wrong for them to kidnap Amanda from her mother's home even if her mother was a drug addict and left her daughter with strangers. Patrick also made Helene a promise that he would bring Amanda back home. Murder is murder, whether the means justify in the end or not, it is wrong and must be condemn. There was never a good lie or a bad lie. When we do things that are just or unjust. We have to live with the consequences, weather it be bad or good.

Very good essay, a few spelling errors and typos here and there but over all not bad. Good summary but I think you confused Remy as being Captain of the Police force when it is Captain Doyle, Remy, and Lionel. I also agree with your point of view on the matter. As you said a murder is a murder and whoever takes a life should pay for such an action. I also added a few things on your paper. Good essay :)
Did you rewrite the Sradhanand's essay? While the check list and your comments at the end point to the strengths and weaknesses of the essay, wouldn't it be more effective if you commented on the spelling and typos, rather than retyping the essay?
