As most readers of this series know, the idea of crows is repeated a lot. It took me a few weeks to figure out that it was a major symbol in the story and it’s meaning. In the story, Billy was, as said, “the crow king.” That basically means that he is the best serial killer in the world hence crows meaning serial killers. Very complex for a simple minder like you who has more than likely never read or even thought of reading this series. This whole crow equaling serial killer thing also fits perfectly. Put an image of a crow in your head, the bird that usually circles over deer carcasses, or you can just look at the image above. Think of it this way, if a crow knew how to use its features to kill would it use them? It should, but it probably …show more content…
One of the most important part about being a serial killer is being able to read people with your eyes. Basically what i’m saying is you can be good at everything else I mention but if you read someone wrong and decide to kill them, they may be a martial artist or something like that and then flip the tables and kill you. Next, the tail. This is one of the most overlooked things when you think about this but the most important because if you want to kill, you don’t want to be caught. How do you do that exactly? That’s where the tail comes in. If you know what they are for in birds, they can relate to killing in an odd way. For birds it’s for keeping themselves balanced and in killing it means not tripping up, which means making a mistake at the scene and getting caught. Now for the tail. This one is extremely important. For the birds they are made for flying and getting around. For serial killers these are for, well getting around, but there’s a lot more meaning behind them than that. First of all, if your a serial killer and stay in one place to kill people, the cops will eventually realize you live in that area after a while and start tracking you down. That’s very bad if you’re a murderer. Say the cops are chasing you. If you’re slow, you will get nabbed in no time but if you’re fast, you might be able to get
“Plenty-Coups Chief of The Crows” takes place during Chief Plenty-Coups life(1848-1932). Linderman starts the book with Plenty-Coups’ first memories and medicine dream. Plenty-Coups dreamt that all the buffalo would be replaced with cattle and that he would
Wright’s decision to kill her husband. This is why the story ends with Mrs. Hale saying that she’d decided to “knot” it instead of “quilt” it. Quilting it would have been symbolic of Mrs. Wright’s passiveness and continuing to live as though things were okay. Knotting it is both symbolic of Mrs. Wright standing up to her husband, and of the manner (rope, strangling) in which he was killed. This is suggested after Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters discover the dead bird, who had been strangled at the hands of Mr. Wright. This ties back to the questions Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters had when they observed the “messy” part of the quilt, and the “interrupted” kitchen, because it is now suggested that Mrs. Wright left things in this order in a fit of anger when she found he’d killed her
Serial killers are everywhere! Well, perhaps not in our neighborhood, but on our television screens, at the movie theaters, and in rows and rows of books at our local Borders or Barnes and Nobles Booksellers” (Brown). When people think of serial killers, names such as Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy, and Gein are cited. During the time Jack the Ripper was executing his victims in London, Holmes began his gruesome career in Chicago (America’s Serial Killers). “Despite being America’s first serial killer, Holmes is hardly a familiar name and until now we haven’t had any popular visual record of his crimes: (Spikol). Why is it that people only think of the more popular killers with higher known profiles? They are all very similar to one another because they share characteristics. H.H. Holmes was a successful serial killer because he was well educated, cunning and charming. Those are just a few traits Holmes ...
In order to identify serial killers before they kill repeatedly, a person needs to study the characteristics that makes up this type of criminals.

Even though not every serial killers posses these characteristics, but most share these characteristics the same way they share the psychological need to have complete control and power over people.
The audience is directed to react positively to the protagonist through the use of costume colour choice. The protagonist is wearing white pyjamas underneath a yellow rain coat; white is the symbol of purity and innocence while yellow represents warmth and happiness. During the tension scene, an axe is used as a symbolistic prop. The axe, when used in a barn house, represents the seriousness of farm life, where animals are commodities and not family pets. The placement of the axe in the shadows emphasises it use as tool for death. As the axe is lifted from the wall the blade glints in the light, which does two things: it draws the viewers’ attention to the ominous object, adding to the tension, whilst warning viewers of the blades sharpness and reminding us of its use. Lastly the axe is used to propel the protagonist into action and become a voice for the pig, a voice for mercy and
Serial killers have many frightening facets. The most frightening thing about them is that experts still do not know what makes a human become a serial killer. Many experts believe serial killers become what they are because they have a genetic disposition or brain abnormality while other experts believe that a serial killer is created by childhood abuse; and some other experts believe that it is a combination of both brain abnormalities and abusive childhood experiences that creates a serial killer. A murderer is considered a serial killer when they “murder three or more persons in at least three separate events with a “cooling off period” between kills” (Mitchell and Aamodt 40). When defining a serial killer, their background, genes, and brain are not mentioned; perhaps one day those aspects of the serial killer can be included.

...cular objects help the viewer feel at ease and safe when Marion is in the frame opposed to the angular monstrosity of Norman’s frame. On the other hand, the pheasant that is placed behind him on the drawer represent Norman’s timid and shy personality. These birds are very cautious of their surrounding and easily frighten when startled likewise, to how Norman is shy when he nervously converses with Marion.
