...The Lizzie Borden case was very interesting because no one could prove Lizzie was to blame for her parents death.I know Lizzie killed her parents because there is lots and lots of evidence that points to her direction.Evidence such as the dress Lizzie was wearing the day of her parents murders,she supposedly burned that dress with a “paint” stain on it which was asked of the day she was trialed in court.Lizzie knew the court was going to test for blood on the dress and that she would be found guilty,so she burned it right after she got home coming from the court.Emma Borden claims she “told” Lizzie to burn it and that it wasn't her fault. Another piece of evidence that shows Lizzies guilty is that she hated her stepmother and that she disliked...

...Fallon Perez Psychological Theories Often times when discussing murders, people say the killer “just snapped.” In many instances, there is a downward spiral of mental and emotional damage. The killers leave behind warning signs and clues. To grasp more of an understanding of these signs and clues, one should research four main case categories: mothers who kill their children, children who kill their parents, mass murders, and serial killers. To gain better insight to these psychological theories behind homicides, this paper highlights individual cases in each category mentioned above. One of the categories to look at is mothers who kill their children. For this particular case, a prime example would be the Andrea Yates Murders. Andrea Yates was a former Texas resident, who drowned and murdered her five children on June 20, 2001. Andrea waited for her husband to leave early Wednesday morning to fill a bathtub where she would drown her five children. She began by killing the three middle children, “drowning them face first in the tub, then proceeding to put them in their beds and cover them with the sheets” (Ramsland). Then she went on to kill the six-month-old baby. Once the baby was dead, she left him floating in the tub. When she called her eldest son to the bathroom, he immediately realized the danger he was in and ran. “Andrea chased and dragged him to the tub” (Ramsland). She then struggled with drowning him, but eventually was successful but not before he could...

...Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...

...Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon BOOK ONE CHAPTER ONE Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different, violent world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her. She was trying desperately hard not to panic, but lately her sleep had been filled with unbearable nightmares, and she had awakened each morning with a feeling of impending doom. Perhaps it's all in my imagination, Ashley Patterson thought. I'm working too hard. I need a vacation. She turned to study herself in her bedroom mirror. She was looking at the image of a woman in her late twenties, neatly dressed, with patrician features, a slim figure and intelligent, anxious brown eyes. There was a quiet elegance about her, a subtle attractiveness. Her dark hair fell softly to her shoulders. I hate my looks, Ashley thought. I'm too thin. I must start eating more. She walked into the kitchen and began to fix breakfast, forcing her mind to forget about the frightening thing that was happening, and concentrating on preparing a fluffy omelette. She turned on the coffeemaker and put a slice of bread in the toaster. Ten minutes later, everything was ready. Ashley placed the dishes on the table and sat down. She picked up a fork, stared at the food for a moment, then shook her head in despair. Fear had taken away her appetite. This can't go on, she thought angrily. Whoever he is, I won't let him do this to me. I won't. Ashley glanced at her watch. It was time to leave...
