    My first impression of Stiff, just by the name, wasn’t the most pleasant reaction. When I flipped to the back cover and saw, “Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives our bodies postmortem” I was slightly confused at how an author could take such a heavy topic and make it humorous. As I began to read each page, Roach’s style of humor and brutally honest writing began to show. She had taken a heavy topic into a light and witty point of view. Before reading the book, I had little clue about the extraordinary, heroic, and undercover lives of cadavers. Now that I have finished the book, I have new knowledge about the lives of cadavers I thought I would never have received.…

    " The book begins with the assassination of two Supreme Court Justices, by the names of Rosenberg and Jensen. The general populace can see no connection between the two, nor can they speculate as to why either would be killed--Rosenberg was rapidly approaching death by natural causes, and Jensen had never seemed to be too opinionated. The FBI is baffled; the Oval Office is in a state of chaotic stress. The list of suspects seems far too obvious, and proves to be filled with dead-ends. However, Tulane law student Darby Shaw begins an investigation of her own--stirring up whirlpool of suspense and terror.…

    Black Dahlia Murder

    • 754 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The main difference between the actual story and the book was the outcome. The book told a whole story that supported the idea that a man named Frederick Knowlton was the one who murdered Elizabeth Short. This concept is purely fictional because the actual Black Dahlia murder case went unsolved; a murderer was never found. It was also said that the killer suffocated Elizabeth Short when in the actual case she died from blows to the head. Neither characters Janice Knowlton nor Frederick Knowlton were said to have existed in the actual case and therefore could also be fictional. Another difference present was the finding of the body. In the book, it was said that the woman who found the body went home before she even called the police when in reality, she rushed to the nearest house and phoned the police as soon as she could. In addition, the book had a fictional story that did not have any connection with the case. This story was told in the perspective of Janice Knowlton and followed her mental recovery. This part became the main focus for the whole rest of the book and added a bunch of fictional characters that did not exist in the original case. Overall the book was relatively similar to the case. Other than the fictional second part of the story, it depicted the case…

    The novel was published 1977 receiving praise from an array of writers and readers. The story opens with scientists and experts in cases of violent deaths being summoned to the scene where a murder has taken place. The victim is a young woman who by the looks of it has been strangled and abandoned in a field. The storyline however does not revolve around the murder in question but is more of a subtle method to introduce the reader to the staff of the forensics laboratory before the murder which the story centres around has takes place/been committed. One is primarily introduced to the forensic pathologist of the Hoggatts Laboratory (located in East Anglia), Dr Kerrison. Kerrison is one morning rudely awoken by the insistent ringing of the phone, careful not to awaken his two young children Nell and William, he quietly leaves the house. In this passage we also become intimately acquainted with Dr. Kerrisons difficult private life as he is in the middle of a divorce and custody battle. We are also told that Kerrison believes that he has failed to attain anything in his life besides anxiety and uncertainty in a sign of blatant low assessed self-worth on the characters behalf. Thereon we are introduced to a second character; the newly appointed Director of the Forensic Science Lab, Dr. Howarth. These two characters seemingly harbouring a shared animosity and bitterness…

    Pony Trap

    Susan Hill the creator of the woman in black , successfully creates fear through out her novel. It comes in ebbs and flows by using different techniques throughout to build up the tension. This book is a gothic horror which is a new genre but using the traditional horror aspects, one of the first books in the categories is’ The castle of Otranto’ published in 1767. They are typified by their dark, lachrymose atmosphere of hatred and fear. Hill used many traditional techniques such as the stereotypical use of pathetic fallacy reflecting the dark mood. The setting as its deserted and away from society, isolation , a ghost with hauntings all follow the conventional aspects. However the modern twist to hills novel is that the characters are unconvential, as in the normal gothic story the man is the scary character haunting a venerable or innocent young woman such as in’ Dracula’ he suck blood from all sweet caring ladies. Unlike in this case there is a ambitious young man being haunted by a revengeful young woman. From this the tension from new and old ways combine to create a heart pumping book which fear deeply impacts the reader. Fear is created in many ways in the chapter ‘The Sound of the Pony trap’ and many other chapters.…

    The author’s small, intriguing details effectively shroud the story in an air of mystery. For instance, why would Rebecca claim that Max’s final word was “Ocean?” The power of these details can again be seen in the passage: “Neighbors on what is a millionaire’s row of oceanfront mansions took photos of her from their rooftops; some even invited their friends over to gawk at the beautiful corpse. TV news helicopters hovered overhead, lending the whole scene a circus atmosphere worthy of OJ.” Moments like this are standout—the more of them, the better.…

    When getting down to reading “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain” by Jessica Mitford, I was not expecting to face an essay of such a dark content.

    Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window continues and expands on traditional themes of the Detective Fiction Genre. In 1841, Murder in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe broke the traditional character constraints of the Crime Fiction Genre, by introducing a new type of lead detective figure. The ideal detective figure encompassed traits of superiority, intelligence, wit and a keen sense for observation. The lead detective figure is a sophisticated character that is not bound to the constrictions and limitations of the Law and the exploration of this figure through the use of visual aid and techniques, provides contrast and variation on the common themes within the genre. Hitchcock provides an alternative approach through a new medium carving way for varied interpretations of the Crime Fiction genre.…

    Coroner Career

    Careers range from many categories that everyone chooses; within those categories, there are more jobs that are specific. People have the freedom to choose their own career path. That is why I chose to take the medical pathway. I really enjoy the show CSI and other crime shows with coroners in them. Coroners, also called medical examiners or forensic pathologists, are doctors who investigate the cause of death of deceased persons and create official documentation of their findings (learn.org). Although these shows are only for the entertainment, I have researched this career and am still interested in becoming a coroner. This research paper includes responsibilities…
