on May 21st of 1998. A quiet boy named Kip Kinkel became known as “The Killer at Thurston High” after killing both of his parents, murdering two classmates, and severely injuring 24 others. There are many factors in the 15 year old boy’s life that led up to the horrific events that occurred on that day. The same factors that influenced the tragedy in occurring could have very easily insured that it never happened to begin with. On May 20th of 1998 Kip Kinkel was suspended from Thurston High for
Morley Callaghan’s novel More Joy in Heaven follows the short life of notorious bank robber and gunman Kip Caley. Callaghan's novel is based off and follows Red Ryan's now forgotten story almost word for word. Red Ryan and the fictional Kip Caley both face the effects of a being an outsider in a forceful, high-class society. Individuals and organizations play a huge responsibility role to ex-convicts; readers of More Joy in Heaven unfortunately see the side effects when selfishness and thirst for
On May 20, 1998, Kipland Phillip "Kip" Kinkel killed his parents and then went on to open fire at his school at Thurston High School the very next day. In this research paper, I will be posing the following questions that detail the different psychological, sociological, and anthropological perspectives of this event: To what extent did Kip Kinkel's mental health influence his actions? How do the education system and familial structures contribute to feelings of isolation and lead to violence in
of motorized vehicles combined. In the production of Cowspiracy, Kip Andersen a committed vegan environmentalist teams up with actor, environmentalist, and producer Leonardo DiCaprio--in order to investigate animal agriculture’s contribution to both global warming and deforestation. According to Andersen‘s research, "methane gas produced from livestock is 86 times more destructive than carbon dioxide from vehicles.”(Cowspiracy) Kip Andersen interviews environmental group experts and analyzes the
murdering each other? Video games may not be the main cause, but they are a contributing factor. Some of things that can lead people to commit violent crimes are their home life, social settings and their mental state. Seung-Hui Cho, Marc Lepine and Kip Kinkel all came from hostile home environments. Marc Lepine, a man who killed 14 women and injured 13, was born in Montreal, Canada. His parent separated in result of his father being very abusive to him, his mother and sister. Scientific evidence has
the most notorious school massacre was at Columbine High School. It was here, in 1999, that two male students murdered twelve students, one teacher, and then committed suicide (Internet Site #4). We viewed a film, The Killer at Thurston High, and saw Kip Kinkel not only shoot up his high school, but also murder his parents. These few extraordinary children strike fear in the hearts of America’s parents every morning when they send their own children off to school. However, the likelihood of a child
pollution then all forms of transportation combined. Another point that the film covers, is how major environmental organizations address the issue which is only mentioned briefly in a handful of organizations websites. Throughout the film, co-director Kip Anderson interviews many experts and environmental organizations in an effort to understand why there isn’t more being done to address the animal agriculture issue. The main points of the film are that animal agriculture is harming the environment,
Check your supermarket, there could be lies on your food, telling you that what you are eating is organic and cared for but most of it is not. The documentary In Organic We Trust by Kip Pastor focuses on organic foods, what they are, how they are grown, and what makes them “organic”. What he finds is shocking and relevant to society today in every way possible. Pastor proves this to the audience by using a strong form of logos throughout the documentary. He conveys it to those watching by using pathos
In the What the Health documentary by Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, their sole purpose was to inform the viewers about the advantages of eating a plant-based diet. Since Kuhn and Andersen are vegans, so they are biased towards this topic, so it makes sense that they presented information that only backed up their views. They address numerous of issues that could have strengthened their stance if they went into more detail, such as, issues with the meat industry. That being said, a few of the facts
you ever wondered if organic foods are actually better for you? What if organic foods are not actually healthy and are just an immense scam from food companies to take your money away from you? In the documentary, In Organic We Trust, the narrator Kip Pastor attempts to persuade the viewers that, although the food system may be flawed, organic foods are actually better to consume. Pastor’s use of pathos and logos in this documentary are extremely credible and well structured, but the ethos Pastor
Kip Kinkel and Michael Carneal have many factors in common, as well as many factors that they do not share between one another. The timing of the shootings were very close in range, Michael’s incident took place in 1997 and Kip’s barley a year later, in 1998. Both of the young men suffered from some form of psychological disorder, for Kip it was Major Depressive Disorder and in Michaels case, Paranoid Schizophrenia. Mental health concerns were present in both boys but as one can imagine the manifestation
Heaven, written by Morley Callaghan, Kip Caley has a quest for a new life after prison. As he gets used to being a freeman he learns more about what he really wants in life. When Kip finds out what it is that he is searching for in his new life, like in all tragedies, it is too late. Because he is not sure if Julie, the girl, or the parole board is what he wants, he spends too much time trying to find out and when he knows it is too late. In his search for a new life Kip knows that he is a free man and
Kitzhaber made this statement after the incident, “We need to ask ourselves what kind of fear leads people to do something like this, what kind of lack of opportunity drives them to make this horrible choice,” (as cited in Claiborne, 1998). Throughout Kip Kinkel’s life many failings occurred, which leads to the evaluation of the family, education system, and social structure among society to better understand similar occurrences, and what measures of prevention can be taken in order to avoid future incidents
Money doesn’t make everything better. Once they strip our home of everything we have is it still our home?” asked Billy. Kip didn’t understand what Billy was trying to say. “There was an old prophecy that warned us about this.” Said Billy. “Prophecy about what?” Kip replied. “The land will rebirth itself if man tries take from it for personal gain.” Said Billy. Kip still wasn’t following. George stumbled into the room and looked very sweaty and pale. “I don’t know what’s happening, everyone
time and distance. Hana and Kip from The English Patient and Jean and Joe both go through these trials and tribulations associated with love and war. Whether that love is doomed for failure or a future together forever…it never dies. The love between men and women of different stations during times of war is manifested in The English Patient between Kip and Hana. Kip and Hana have a cultural difference due to race. Their identities are diverse from one another. Kip was born in the Punjab and raised
when the characters learn of the United States’ bombing of Japan. To Kip, the atomic bomb symbolizes the worst fears of western aggression. The characters in the novel try to escape the war and its horrors by remaining secluded with Almasy. Staying close to him, they can immerse themselves in his world of the past rather than face the problems of the present. The atomic bombs rip through this silence of isolation, reawakening Kip to the harsh reality of the outside world. The bomb reminds him of the

Gainesville Church of Christ (mainline), met a young college student, Kip McKean, and began discipling him. Kip was a bright student and showed great potential for leadership in the church. However, something in the discipling process went wrong. Kip was expelled from the Gainesville church later that year for reasons dealing with departure from the CoC doctrine, manipulative attitude, unclear motivation, and controlling of other's lives. Kip and his wife Elena moved to Boston and started a small church
Hanna refuses to be seen as a sexual object by Carravagio, and even changes her appearance to “defeminize” herself. We even see gender-roles reverse. The “male gaze” seems to apply not only to males, but to females as well as Hanna views the sapper, Kip, in a “feminized” and often “sexual” way. Most striking of all, however, is Ondaatje’s representation of the character Katharine as an almost voiceless physical body which is undoubtedly “owned” and consumed by Almasy’s desire. As we see, this “ownership”
