Recommended: The theme of death used in literature

I had hurled up all my coffee from the morning about an hour later. I had seen what I had done. She had gashes all over her torso and she had a slow heart rate. I just killed my friend, my closest friend. She was my sister to me. She had suffered with me when I lost my family. Without her i’m completely lost. I began sobbing, Ayumi not knowing what was wrong. “Hey, hey, it’s fine Rin. Don’t you worry.” Ayumi patted my back and gave me some tissues. “I just killed my friend! Call her dead already. I don’t want her suffering.” I sobbed. And reached out to Alex’s cold hand. I felt her softly grip my fingertips. I tried not to hurt her anymore. “I wish to not be a Ghoul anymore, I’m sorry I hurt you Alex. You didn’t deserve this, not one bit.”

  • The Murder of Helen Jewett by Patricia Cline Cohen

    1471 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800’s to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman’s place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an early age and introduced to sexual perversions that were more persuasive that the bible belt life that the Weston’s tried to live? Was Helen simply a woman who knew how to use what she had to get what she wanted? Through personal correspondence, legal documentation, census reports, paintings, and newspapers we are able to make our own determinations. Cohen provides more than enough background and history to allow any one to make their own opinion how the murder of a woman could be turned into a side show at a circus.

  • Revenge: Is It Justified With the Characters in the Short Story “Killings”

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    Let’s examine the short story of “Killings” by Andre Dubus. The story begins on a warm August day with the burial of Matt and Ruth Fowler’s youngest son Frank. Frank was only twenty-one: “twenty-one years, eight months, and four days” (Dubus, “Killings” 107). Attending the funeral were Matt, his wife Ruth, their eldest son Steve, his wife, their middle daughter Cathleen and her husband. Frank was buried in a cemetery on a hill in Massachusetts overlooking the Merrimack. Across from the cemetery is an “apple orchard with symmetrically planted trees going up a hill” (107), a symbol of how nice and serene the cemetery actually is and the peace Frank now has. Matt’s family is extremely distraught over the murder of their youngest son/brother, so much to make comments of wanting to kill the killer themselves, “I should kill him” (107), stated the oldest son Steve, while walking from the grave site along side his father Matt. This comment is considered a fore-shadow to what is to come in the thought process of the family members.

    She was different; she liked you. You could have been together; you could have been happy for once in your miserable life. It was a shame she had to snoop around and get involved in a case she knew nothing about. Maybe you didn’t have to kill her. Maybe, just maybe, you could’ve just confessed. But now it’s too late, she’s dead; you killed her. You got her blood on your hands. The only person that ever loved you is dead. You stare at her. She is still beautiful, you think. Then you realise that you loved her and still do. You ask yourself what drove you to do this and you respond, “She was trying to get away… I did it on impulse… an accident…” You kneel down in front of her, and lift her limp body off the ground. The mush doesn’t bother you. Then, without thinking, you pull her close and cradle her in your arms.

    Since I was little my favorite thing to watch on TV would be murder shows that where based on true stories. I would stay up all night watching these shows.

So by now I had watch almost a thousand murder shows and I thought I had heard it all. Well I was wrong. This is a story I would never forget. I remember it because it was hard for me to believe that something so horrendous could not only be committed by someone young but to innocent people.

These ideas and many more (even more gruesome) populated my subconscious and conscious state of mind.

  • Claire's Tale Of Genre: Crime '

    During my ride on a crowded subway headed toward downtown, I met two deceitfully ordinary people named Nate and Claire. Claire, the first to spark conversation, introduced herself as a columnist for an impressive, well-known newspaper. With not a hair out of place or as much as a wrinkle on her blouse, she was nothing short of a perfectionist. She was young, almost too young to look so stressed. Nate, who appeared just as young, looked like he was fresh off of Wall Street. Everything about him exuberated wealth from the clothes he wore to the deepness of his voice. But it was easy to see he wasn’t happy with his life. Just one look into his sallow eyes, and you could see guilt the size of his fortune.

  • Personal Narrative: The Death Penalty

    It is really upsetting and scary to know there are people like him, killing people with no remorse. He was unapologetic, expressionless, and cold. I saw the short video first. In it he talked about his crimes like we would talk about the weather. After seeing it I thought to myself, "He is a MONSTER!" (Even though I don't believe in the death penalty) "Yes he should get the death penalty." I was really upset, I cried. The second longer video seemed to make him out as more human, haunted by his victims. The environment he grew up in was toxic and unhealthy. I was adopted from Ethiopia when I was 13. I lived with my father who hated me and was abusive. I understand his anger and the unfairness of being treated like that from a parent, who are
