    lunchroom murder essay

    I think that that Customer C killed Fannin. The first piece of evidence that proves Customer C killed Fannin is that that the cash register had been rung up to 8.75 this is the exact total of Customers B, C, and D. This had to have been done before the murder, because the heel to toe footsteps that belonged to Ernie show that he walked to the cash register after mopping (footstep trail Y.) This was done before the robbery, because the only two reasons that he would’ve opened the register would be to either check someone out, or to give someone money during a stick up. We can tell that he wasn’t getting robbed, because the money’s still there.This allows us to rule out customer A. The second piece of evidence that proves that Customer C killed Fannin is that there was a right handprint on the wall. Common sense suggests that if there is a right handprint on the wall, the shooter pulled the trigger with his left hand. Since C is left-handed, that means that they pulled the trigger. The final piece of evidence that points to C as the murderer is his silverware was on the left side of his platter. His coffee cup was also on the left side of his plate. Usually, if the silverware and cups are placed on the left hand side of the plate, it means that the diner is left handed. So this means that C is left-handed. WHO COMMITED THE LUNCHROOM MURDER?…

    the puzzle game

    Christie is a great detective author because of how many styles she incorporates in her stories and how many games she likes to “play” at one time. For instance, In the Mysterious Affair, Christie uses the element of hidden identity or impersonation. In this method, the murder is allowed to move freely within a familiar environment without arousing any suspicion. For example, the main character devised his murder plan in the most secretive manner possible and then waited until he had no suspicion on him, but made sure there was much confusion between the rest of the circle until he was able to act and make his move. After reading the puzzle game, I do find it helpful to understand detective fiction, especially with this piece by Christie. I was able to pick up on the scheme of things and pick out the murderer much quicker since I knew certain techniques and rules to the game.…

    Book Report: Killing Mr. Griffin

    In conclusion, the story was a thriller. I liked how everybody went through so much to cover their tracks. I was not surprised that in the end they got caught because it was pretty obvious with all the mistakes that they make throughout the novel by leaving footprints and personal belongings at the murder scene. I learned that the teachers who are the most strict and have the highest expectations are the ones who can help you. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because it was very interesting to…

    The Candyman - Dean Corll and the Houston Mass Murders

    Dean Coril was a 33-year-old electrician living in Houston, Texas, who with two teen accomplices was responsible for kidnapping, torturing, raping and murdering at least 27 young boys in Houston in the early 1970s. Dean Corll was an electrician for Houston Power and Light, but most of Henley's friends knew him as the Candy Man, so named because he had labored for years in the candy manufacturing plant that he and his mother had once owned. Corll was famous for giving away candy to the kids. Coril had an odd choice of friends, who were mostly young male teens. Two, who were particularly close to Coril, was a 14-year-old boy named Elmer Wayne Henley and a 15-year-old boy named David Brooks. The three spent much time hanging around at Coril's house or driving with him in his van. That was until August 8, 1973, when Henley shot and killed Coril at his home. While in police custody, Henley began to tell about his relationship with Coril. He said Coril paid him $200 or more for each boy that he could lure to Coril’s house. After searching Coril's house, the police discovered a bedroom that looked as if it was designed for torture and murder. There was a board with handcuffs…

    “Columbine High School/Littleton, Co.” Analytical Essay

    Imaginative writing is an art that expresses ideas and thoughts in an imaginative way. This art involves universal laws of human nature, and both time and place. Without connecting the reader through these principles, the author’s work is somewhat meaningless. In order for the author to gain something through his/her work, the author must be able to manipulate the perceptions of the reader. This can be done by successfully incorporating the five elements of craft found in literature. These elements function to focus the reader towards a specific end, and the five elements include: image, voice, character, setting and story. It is imperative that the author utilizes these elements to create a piece that stimulates emotions in the reader.…

    Columbine Book Report

    Columbine by Dave Cullen is based upon the true story of the author’s research that took ten years to find out why did Eric Harris and Dylan Kleblod decide to go on a shooting spree at the Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado on April 20, 1999, and what became of the survivors? As the author explains in his book, the two young men Eric and Dylan had a plan to blow up their school, surpass Columbine in horror, and leave a “a lasting impression on the world.’’ The bombs that they planted in the school failed, but they instead proceeded to shoot anyone on site with the heavy numbers of weapons that both shooters had. In this revelatory book, Dave Cullen produces a profile of two teen killers that are the outcome of psychopathology. He reveals two radically different killers. Eric Harris, the brutal mastermind, and Dylan Klebold, the quivering depressive who wrote in his journal obsessively about love and attended the Columbine prom three days before they opened fire on students. They were able to fool everyone they knew in such manner.…

    On Punishment And Teen Killers By Jennifer Jenkins

    In the article, “On Punishment and Teen Killers”, Jennifer Jenkins claims that people feel bad for the teens that are getting life sentences for murdering someone, but there is no regard for the victims’ families. This article has the weakest ethos out of all of them. The author first develops her credibility when she quotes an expert named James Q. Wilson, Harvard Professor, and Crime Expert. This technique builds her credibility because her research is now coming from an expert, and this makes the readers trust her claim. Jenkins strengthens her credibility when she says, “As a high school teacher, I have worked lovingly with teens all my life…”(4). This example makes the readers feel like the author knows how teens work since she is a high…

    Serial Killer Essay

    Serial killers have been around all of human history. Their sinister ways of killing have been a good anchor for movie making in Hollywood, leading to many well known movies like “It”, which was based off of a real life story. Other movies would be based off on serial killers like the Zodiac killer and Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper was the infamous serial killer in London during the 17th century. He would kill women around the ages of 40’s and all of them would have one thing in common, they were all prostitutes. The way that he would kill them is always astonishing. He would rape the women and then cut their bodies open. The first time he ever killed, he took…

    Crime and the Scarlet Letter

    “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14). “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death” (Leviticus 20:10). Puritans carried this Biblical credence to the very letter. Puritans were all about order in their society, achieved through strict laws and rules. The love between a married couple equated moral and religious duties (eHow), and so when adultery was committed, it was seen as the ultimate sin. Though murder might have something to say about that, adultery was a capital offense in Puritan society. Thus, people who committed adultery could be put to death (eHow). Of course, the possibility of public humiliation always exists, which is exactly what happens in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter.…

    Appearance and Reality in the School for Scandal

    The School for Scandal is a dramatic play written by Richard Sheridan. In this essay i 'm going to discussed Appearance and Reality . There 's a characters who represent the false appearances and the really appearances. The School for Scandal 's member are the trust appearance and they distant reality. There 's a dramatic element like the disguise of Sir Oliver in his trial test on Joseph and Charles. We have the two brothers, Joseph Surface and Charles Surface. The dramatic tool used to know the good brother. And also the dramatic irony in the scene screen (the culmination of the play). The School for Scandal is formed by hypocritical characters. On the one hand Lady Sneerwell (young widow. She is attracted to Charles Surface and plots with Joseph Surface to break up Charles and Maria) , Lady Teazle (Young wife of Sir Peter. She and her husband have their little spats), Joseph Surface (Who pretends to be an honorable gentlemen but It is the bad brother.) and Mrs Candour (A professedly kindhearted woman who speaks well of everyone in such a way as to ruin their reputations in the process.). They are the appearance. On another hand we have the real characters. Sir Peter (Husband of Lady Teazle)and Sir Oliver Surface (Charles and Joseph 's uncle) and Charles Surface (really the good brother). Mrs. Candour and her love of gossip make her one of the most scandalous pupils of all; her true sentiment is seen only through the false accounts of others which she delivers to any listening ear, often using metaphors of money. If a scandal were to take place, she could risk losing it all, whether reputation or wealth. This can be seen as foreshadowing the fate of Joseph; he took such care to secure his financial success, and one scandal ruined it all. The object of Joseph’s financial success, Maria, who possesses neither a "screen" nor an interest in spreading lies, is greatly affected by the…
