Around 5 o’clock Mr. Maloney returns home with shocking news and… Bang! …a leg of lamb hit over his head and Mr. Maloney falls to the ground dead.

Essay 2 Psychoanalysis is the method of psychological therapy originated by Sigmund Freud in which free association, dream interpretation, and analysis of resistance and transference are used to explore repressed or unconscious impulses, anxieties, and internal conflicts (“Psychoanalysis”). This transfers to analyzing writing in order to obtain a meaning behind the text. There are two types of people who read stories and articles. The first type attempts to understand the plot or topic while the second type reads to understand the meaning behind the text. Baldick is the second type who analyzes everything.
Jacob Barber, a fourteen year old boy, was accused of murdering his classmate Ben Rifkin and was put on trial. Fortunately, Leonard Patz—a child molester and once a suspect in Ben’s case—suddenly confessed of killing Ben and committed suicide. As a result, innocent Jacob was freed from his accusation. However, the sudden death of Patz and another girl Hope Conner, who was seen with Jacob shortly before her death, raised renewed suspicion about Jacob’s potential involvement in not only Ben’s case but also the murder of Hope. While the coincidences of Patz’s suicide and Hope’s death are seemingly convincing evidence of Jacob’s guilt, there is a lack of direct evidence to convict Jacob for the murders of Ben and Hope.
Would a mother be responsible for his adult son’s misdeeds? In Mary Shelley 's book, “Frankenstein” Victor creates a creature who then kills numerous amount of people. Some may speculate that Victor is responsible for the murders, but the creature is the one to blame. Victor Frankenstein is not responsible for the actions of the Creature. The Creature has 100 percent control over his actions and has logical decision making. The one who does the crime, should also be the one who takes the responsibility of the crime.
Norman Bates is arguably the most unforgettable character in the horror genre. His movements, voice and aura at first radiate a shy young man but transform into something more sinister as the movie Psycho (Hitchcock, USA, 1960) progresses. How has the director, Alfred Hitchcock, achieved this? Norman Bates was a careful construct: the casting, body language, lighting and even the subtle use of sound and mise-en-scène created the character.

For my paper I have decided to write it on Norman Bates off of Bates Motel on AE channel. Norman is that typical shy 18 year old boy in class who is very friendly and a little odd. He has a very close relationship with his mother, some view it as too close. She has been very protective of Norman his whole life which has caused him to become very possessive and dependent on her. His father was killed in an apparent accident at their previous home which is what his mother told him. The real reason his dad died was because Norman killed him when he was a young boy. He hated his father because he was abusive and killed him to protect his mother. As a young man, he is fascinated by women but feels guilty for having these urges. He imagines seeing his mom a lot and believes that it is really her telling him to do things and talking to him. This voice of hers that he hears tells him what to do, she comes out usually when he is put into a situation with a woman who is viewed to be promiscuous. This voice that he hears starts to tell him that he needs to kill these women that he has these encounters with. He starts spying on women that stay at the family motel and then starts to kill some of them and even a few women that he knows personally. He only does this because him “mom” says so. When this murders happen, Norman blacks out and has no recollection of them happening. Norman has a very jealous view point of his mother. He doesn 't like the idea of her being with a man and some times gets a little too close with her, as if he wants to be with her romantically. He finds himself secretly dressing in his mothers clothes and some times he even thinks that he is her.
However, Matt Fowler had different reasoning for his actions. After burying his twenty-one year-old son who was just on the cusp of graduating college, he finds that Strout, his son’s murderer, has been released on bail pending trial and until then he has resumed his normal life. Watching his wife not only mourning the loss of their son, but also having to see the killer in daily activities, has caused a mental and emotional strain on their life. The affect on Fowler’s family that Strout is walking around free and seemingly unconcerned is one of the main reasoning that is posed when Fowler and his friend Willis T...
The book I am reading is called Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This book is realistic fiction because Holmes uses real-life clues to help solve his mysteries, for example, how a girl died on her wedding night. It’s “just right” for me because there aren’t too many hard words, and I find mystery stories interesting. Like Dr. Watson, the narrator, “it has always intrigued me about how Holmes uses deduction.”
