A Murder In Safrax

“The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841 is considered to be the first true detective story ever written, and the influence for works such as Sherlock Holmes. The narrator and his friend C. Auguste Dupin, after finding out about an intriguing murder, find themselves trying to free an innocent man and find the real beast behind the murders in the rue morgue. Through Poe’s use of symbolism and vivid imagery, the theme of the story is revealed as the struggle between the analytical, emotional, and imaginative. The Murders in the Rue Morgue presents a recurring theme of the battle between the analytical, emotional, and imaginative. In the beginning of the story, Poe describes a chess battle in great detail,

The National Geographic film, A Portrait of a Killer, examines the types of stress that living beings can endure, and how it can thus affect the rest of their bodies. Severe chronic stress can lead even lead to the destruction of brain cells. Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a neurobiologist of Stanford University who has been researching stress for over thirty years. In order to study stress and its implications upon nonhumans, he went to Africa to study baboons. This species has only three hours of stress caused by eating, and the rest of their daily routine is consumed by about nine hours of free time. Much like Western society, baboons socially stress out one another, as they have social hierarchies to regulate how them interact with one another.

One night during one of the king’s parties, an old lady found her way to this kingdom. Before she could even knock on the door of the king’s palace, two guards shoved in front of her and asked for her cause. She explained how she only wished to stay a night as she was on a long journey. They interrupted her, saying she was not worthy of being there. She was pushed to the ground. Angry, she left in a haste and ventured her way to the outskirts. As she did this, the guards went back in and informed the king of the visitor. The king simply laughed upon hearing the news and announced that peasants should know their place in society and continued feasting and partying.

The detective genre is recognizable by the mystery that it represents or establishes. Every word of a fiction novel is chosen with a purpose, and that purpose on a detective novel is to create suspense. The excerpts from The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, Murder Is My Business by Lynette Prucha, and Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley, create an atmosphere of suspense and mystery. Even though they all fit into this category, there are some differences that make each novel unique. The imagery that the authors offer in the excerpts helps the reader to distinguish the similarities and the differences.

“Nobody’s ever been arrested for a murder; they have only ever been arrested for not planning it properly” (Terry Hayes). Ray Leetuf may have never been caught, but that is only if he would have planned it better. Ray Leetuf killed Max Powers in cold blood for hate, money and greed. With those motives it looks clear that Ray Leetuf has done it. In every murder case there is a preliminary report, testimony, and hard evidence. There are examples of all of the three in this case.

In a small midwestern town in Villisca, Iowa rests the quiet house of Josiah B.

“Me and my strong son's will make sure you and your love receive a proper burial,” Charity said aloud, wishing she knew the couples names so she could mark their graves. Standing there beside the dead woman’s bed, she decided that this was where she would wait on Henry; he should catch up to them soon. She wrapped the corpse in the bed linens, talking to her the entire time, telling her about herself and her children. When she finished, she tied it snugly and then got the older boys to help remove it.

No one had been murdered in Falls City for nearly half a decade until New Year’s Eve, 1993. Falls City stood about one hundred miles south of Lincoln and outside of Nebraskan commoners, the area was seldom mentioned or heard of. Moreover, the town’s lifelessness was a precise emulation of its residents, whom never deviated from their habitual routine: sleep, work, drink, smoke. There was not much for anyone in Falls City besides a local bar on the corner of Seward Place and the twenty-four hour liquor store adjacent to Dewey Avenue, but there was enough to make Brandon stay.

The murder of charley chew was a difficult case, but I believe I have found the perpetrator; Ginger Snapzs. LeCore Ritche is clear, he did admit to having an argument with Mr. chew(as Marsh Mallow claimed) but a text message was discovered of Mr. chew and LeCore apologizing, for there arguing therefor leaving no motive for the murder. In the same way as LeCore Ritche, Marsh mallow is innocent because he was in the break room with LeCore Ritche from 11:15 to 11:35 when the crime was reported at 11:30, which means he was in the break room during the crime.as a result of marsh mallow and lecore ritch are not guilty that leaves only Ginger Snapz to be gulty of the crime.for one she was at the scene of the crime first and reported it to officials,

Like most countries, there are multiple phases of growth. It just so happened that London was experiencing a phase of growth during the time of the Ripper Murders. The East End especially was effected, more so then in past years. Other cities like Whitechapel and Spitalfields Bethnal Green, St George and the East and Poplar, become extremely poor during the era of the ripper. This was partly because of the increase of immigration in London. The increase of immigration, caused a huge set of unemployment, therefore making the city of London and the cities surrounding it extremely poor, with very bad living options. The East End, was considered overpopulated and dirty with immigrates, which lead to crime.

Throughout the twentieth century, there have been many mass/serial killers. One killer who may be over-shadowed by the likes of Ted Bundy or Paul Bernardo, is Richard Speck. To some, Speck may be considered a "lightweight" in the mass murder world but to his victims and their families, he is a man of sub-human character. To prove his poor character, on that frightful night, while he was raping one of his victims he calmly said to her, "Would you mind putting your legs on my back?"(www.flashback.net/~slayer/speck.htm).
