I remember attaching the movie many years ago. I proceed to find the movie.

The movie doesn’t give you much information about Anton Chigurh background childhood and origin of his psychopathy are never explained or are any clues given. Anton Chigurh does not have any friends or family that he hangouts out with or talk too. You only know about the actions you see in the movie.

Chigurh says he’s a man that decided peoples fate he decides who he sees accountable. Chigurh sometime gives his victims chance to survive by making deals either personally, or his favorite way the flip of a coin in making decisions. Chigurh is a man with high tolerance. He can withstand pain from multiple shots from a shotgun. Without going to the doctor and performing surgery on himself. Chigurh is a smart man that knows how to improvise when he needs something. When Chigurh got shot he knew he needed medical supplies to fix the wound. He went to the drug store and caused a diversion by blowing up a car. When everyone’s attention was on the car he walked right in and got what he needs. Anton can only be hurt physically, not once in the movie is he in an emotional situation. Anton has no relationships with other people. He has a boss and does what he is told. Though out the whole movie Anton Chigurh was calm, cool and collected. It didn’t matter what was happening. He showed the same kind of emotion whether he was about to kill you, or if he was just asking you directions. Anton never shows any emotions to any of his victims. He would just do the job that needs to be done and carried on like nothing ever happened. Anton Chigurh has little to no planning for his killing he tracks them down and gets the information that is needed then kills them. For most of Chigurh victims, they had no idea of who he was. Chigurh doesn’t approach his victim before he kills them. According to Beauregard’s categories, Anton would be labeled as a hunter. When he finds his victim Chigurh will introduce himself to the victim and tell the reason he is approaching them. Chigurh will give the victim some word of wisdom of how they can do better. Giving the victim, some hope that they still have a chance of living. Chigurh will shot all his victim right in the head if they are in close range. If not, he will shoot them where ever. Chigurh signature weapon is a captive bolt pistol, it has a bolt that shoots out then retract back leaving no evidence behind. it’s a hose connected to a compressed air cylinder which he uses both to kill his victims and to destroy locks on doors. He also uses a semiautomatic shotgun and pistol that both have silencers on them. Chigurh does not dispose of the bodies. He leaves them right where they are. Chigurh isn’t worried about being caught, Because of their little information on him. The police tell the townspeople in sounder town to look out for a man that does not fit in. The towns on the Texas borders are small and everyone knows each other. Chigurh is a man that doesn't look or dress like anyone for the area. He wheres dark blue jeans, a button-down with a dark blue jean jacket to match his pants. Chigurh is a methodical man, When got shot with the shotgun and repaired the bullet wound. He coved the room in plastic to make sure his blood was not left behind for someone to find. Chigurh is a man of very few word and is all about getting the job nothing can discourage him from getting his job done. Anton is fueled by money. He has a job and he does it. He has no regard for other people’s life. Anton motivation is revolving all around money and his job. Anton has a reputation of a man that sees a job all the way through and not letting anyone. Anton would be labeled as an organized offender. He is a man with high intelligence to able to track down his victim at a time with very little technology, the man is socially competent keeps to himself and hardly talks to anyone, Anton has skill for his job which is killing, Anton always takes his weapon with him to commit the murders and weapon take the weapon way with him from the crime scene. Anton has the mission typology for the Holmes & Holmes list. His mission is to find the money and kill anyone how had any part with the money. Anton also falls into the hedonistic typology from Holmes & Holmes list. Anton gets enjoyment from killing the people he kills. It's something that satisfies him. You do not want to be caught up in any type of business that Anton is involved in. Anton Chigurh is a bad man.
A tank that is destroying everything in the path that no one can stop. Chigurh is the man that shows no emotion. After someone had killed Moss you would think that Anton was done. You are wrong Anton had told Moss if he wasn’t the one to bring the money to him, he was going to kill his wife Mary-Anne. Chigurh did that knowing that moss was already dead and Mary- Anne had nothing to do with the money. Anton Chigurh was responsible for every murder that had taken place in “No Country for Old Men.” And not once did you see him get angry or sad about anyone he was killing or about to kill. The best typology that fit for Anton would be hedonistic. Anton enjoys the lust and thrill of killing people. It's something that excites him. He won’t stop till he his caught and put away for a long time. “No Country for Old Men.” was and very enjoyable movie to watch and to build a criminal profile on. Never knew you could learn so much about a person just by the way he or she
moves.

For my book talk assignment, I read a realistic fiction novel named “Monster” by Walter Dean Myers. The setting takes place present day in Harlem, New York. The main character is a sixteen-year-old boy named Steve Harmon. Steve Harmon is on trial for a murder that he believes he did not commit.
“One who formulates, strives after, or attempts to live in accordance with, ideals” is what Funk and Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary describes an idealist as. It is evident that Christopher John McCandless fits this definition in every way: he constructed his own ideals and principles, dreamt up what his consummate existence would pertain, and went for it...head first. This on its own is exceptionally noble, because in order to live out this utopia he envisioned he willingly cut off all of the stability and security that his life at home provided. Contrary to popular belief McCandless was not insane, was not arrogant and seeking praise for his actions, nor did he have a death wish; in actuality he was a noble idealist that acted upon his wildest, dreamt up endeavours. McCandless was an extremely compassionate man, and would always loyally abide by his ideals and principles. What he sought was life in its simplest form; he no longer wanted anything to do with modern society and all of the troubles that it brought. Then lies the extremities to which he took making this all become reality. How many people could honestly claim to have sufficiently reached out to their dreams, could honestly claim that they had at least tried let alone pushed hard enough to succeed?
“She still today never told me she loved me…never… never in her life … it’s too hard to explain,” says Anthony Sowell as he mentions his mother while he is being interrogated by Cleveland Homicide Detective (Sberna). The classic neighbor that every family wishes to have, friendly, helpful and caring was holding back numerous secrets. In Anthony Sowell’s actions of the rape, beatings and murder of 11 innocent women, he demonstrates the qualities of a human monster while showing how nurture creates a personality as well as proving that humans are capable of creation more fear than those who are written about in fiction.
A hit was put out on Taylor and Zavala by leaders of the Mexican drug cartel because they were becoming a nuisance. This hit was carried out by the same Latino gang members who had previously done a drive-by shooting of a rival gang. The officers were enticed towards their imminent deaths with a car chase which was set up by the Latino gang members. This chase led them towards an apartment complex which was rigged with many gang members and artillery to ensure that neither Taylor nor Zavala would survive. The two were ambushed but decided that gunning their way out was their best option. When the officers made it to an alley they were met by another Latino gang member who fired at Taylor and Zavala, hitting Taylor once in the chest before being shot and killed by Zavala. Zavala went to aid Taylor who appeared to be quickly dying and called out for help. Before police back up arrived the original Latino gang members found Zavala in the...

Caine’s childhood friend Sharif, who was assisting them in the moving procedure, shot, tumbles onto the lawn instantaneously. Caine’s best friend O-Dog begins to reciprocate by firing shots back at his adversaries in the green Pontiac LeMans Sedan. Caine scuttles upon the ground to superpose Anthony from the gunfire, but the bullets incessantly penetrated into his upper torso. Caine finally grasped ahold to Anthony and enfolded him.

Jon Krakauer, fascinated by a young man in April 1992 who hitchhiked to Alaska and lived alone in the wild for four months before his decomposed body was discovered, writes the story of Christopher McCandless, in his national bestseller: Into the Wild. McCandless was always a unique and intelligent boy who saw the world differently. Into the Wild explores all aspects of McCandless’s life in order to better understand the reason why a smart, social boy, from an upper class family would put himself in extraordinary peril by living off the land in the Alaskan Bush. McCandless represents the true tragic hero that Aristotle defined. Krakauer depicts McCandless as a tragic hero by detailing his unique and perhaps flawed views on society, his final demise in the Alaskan Bush, and his recognition of the truth, to reveal that pure happiness requires sharing it with others.

The characters in the novel, including the operative himself are willing to lie, cheat, and kill in cold blood for their own personal gain. Although infidelity, greed, and self-preservation are expected from characters involved with the murders and inner crime ring; the story becomes more complicated when characters like the operative, and chief of police begin to get their hands dirty. Bringing the age-old crime ad punishment theme to a higher tier where the reader is unable to make an impulsive decision on who is a “bad guy”, and who is a “good
Johnson, Jason B. “ Slain Teen’s family: Cops eyeing 7-10 suspects.” Boston Herald. 7 ,April 1995
“The Great Dictator”, an elegant speech composed by the magnificent Charlie Chaplin, was a particularly moving one that has gained widespread recognition and praise since it was given back in the 1940s. On the surface, it appears as if Chaplin is directing soldiers to think for themselves and to break away from dictators’ indoctrination, as “dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!” is a line that is reprehended throughout the speech. Further analysis of Chaplin’s speech seems to reveal, however, that he rather wants the soldiers to break away from the deeper aspect of tyranny that has been embedded within them, essentially controlling them. Chaplin wants the audience to take action and think for themselves; to help one another and to save humanity from war using three key rhetorical tools: ethos, organization and pathos.
