Dennis Rader began his behavior early on life. He began with the killing of animals and his fantasies. Rader is known as the “BTK Killer” which is because that’s what he was known for doing when he murdered people. He would bind them, torture them, and then kill them. Watching people plead or beg for mercy was all part of his fantasy.

A stillness settled around them, all the hospital sounds fading into the background as the enormity of Tom’s admission finally hit home. The dark-haired officer rose to his feet, his movements slow and clumsy. But as a surge of adrenaline secreted into his system, his eyes darted wildly around him and the sudden need to escape the close confines of the room overwhelmed him. “I can’t...I...I’ve gotta go!” he blurted out, and spinning around, he stumbled out the door, hot blinding tears blurring his

Within the story, a sense of dreadful nervousness or sadness is portrayed by the way the narrator is seen within our minds as the story proceeds. As the story goes on we see the diseases that plague his body and mind. He portrays a constant state of nervousness, with an almost constant state of stress, as well as occasional meltdowns. One of those meltdowns is due to the hypothetical heartbeat that causes him to confess to the murder.

The pressures show in the people many of whom become hysterical. The play examines the permanent conditions of the climate of hysteria and the consequences. The situation escalates and we watch the strange moral alchemy by which the accused become inviolable; the disrepute which overtakes the testimony of simple intelligence; the insistence on public penance; the willingness to absolve if guilt is confessed.

The diction Luxun uses to describe the narrator’s feelings gives the reader the same feeling. “My flesh crept…her eyes made a shiver run down my spine.” is a feeling that almost everyone will feel when they are startled or under pressure. The narrator also feels

This is the twisted tale of Inspector Carla Novak and her rapid descend into a world of depravity, corporal punishment and unrestrained masochistic lust.

(Poe 303)” After the police officers are seated the narrator hears the noise of the old mans heartbeat that makes him going crazy and finally admit to the crime. Before he admits to the crime the heartbeat starts out soft and faint, but slowly progresses into a loud beating sound, which makes him go crazy. “It grew louder- louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? They heard they suspected! They knew! ...... I felt that I must scream or die! And now again! Hark! Louder! Louder! Louder! …..I admit the deed! –tear up the planks! –here, here! – it is the beating of his hideous

The town in which I was born and raised, is a small, close-knit community. In the quiet beach town, the style of law enforcement is most definitely watchman style. The primary objective of law enforcement officers who are following the watchman style of policing is to maintain order. I believe that my town followed this style based on the encounters I experienced with officers, as well as the encounters of others. Since the town is so small, it is rare that officers make an arrest or take strict action at all. While in school, it was not uncommon for the local officers to sit with the high school athletes and have dinner after a game at a local restaurant. As an adult, especially now that I’m learning about law enforcement, I realize that the

“Presently I heard a slight groan of mortal terror”. This highlights that he heard of a a frightening groan and he was filled with a scary instinct. “There entered three men, who introduced themselves with perfect suavity as officers of the police.” This exemplifies that the police showed up and it means there was trouble and this conveys an unsafe mood.

History is often regarded as strictly defined and unyielding, particularly by those who uphold the rationalist view that it is possible for a human being to objectively record observations of an event. However, the romantic view of reading history is more in line with the reality that all nonfiction literature is subject to the bias of those writing it. The romantic approach embraces what those fixated on their rationalist views try desperately to ignore, which is the fact that history is fundamentally a record of an individual’s personal experience. To learn from a historical account, one must treat an author’s bias as an opportunity to uncover “truths” that can be even more meaningful than the unattainable accurate representation of facts. A primary example of how history can be obscured by writers is the way in which two Englishmen, William Bradford (1590-1657) and Thomas Morton (1579-1647), provide two very different accounts of the same events in Of Plymouth Plantation and in New English Canaan respectively. Both men are affected by the desire to promote their beliefs and to make their tales appear authentic; therefore, both accounts are biased. After evaluating the two authors’ backgrounds and beliefs and how they affect their writing, as well as the discrepancies within the two narratives, a critical reader may regard Morton’s account as more credible. Personally, it was not the inconsistencies in either account that were

     The ocean swells around you like a dust devil in a sandbox. Salt water fills your nostrils. The ship that deemed this fate upon you sails into the distance. You wonder, how am I going to get out of this one? Suddenly, a large metal object plants itself beneath your feet. A porthole opens and men carry you inside the belly of the large iron beast floating nether you. What’s going to happen now? In Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this is exactly what main characters M. Aronmax, his servant Conseil, and Ned Land the harpooner, were thinking. After a hefty six-hour wait of being locked in a dark cell, the door opens.

The narrator finally confesses to his crimes and why, was it the right choice? First, the narrator confesses his crime to the police because while they were sitting in the house, he said he heard a ringing noise in his head and that it was the old man's evil heart and he wanted them to take the body. Next, I think it was the right choice for him so that when he goes to the asylum he might get some help. Also, I think it was the right choice because the narrator killed the old man for a crazy man's reason. After that, has the ringing happen and got worse he also got terrible headaches and him thinking that the old man's evil heart is doing this until he break and tells the police. In conclusion, the headaches and ringing in the narrator’s head

The next trick used in this story to make it scary was the beating of the mans heart once he woke up and came to be suspicious that someone was in the room with him. The speaker describes the beating of the heart as "so strange a noise as [it] excited me to uncontrollable terror" (Poe, 3). At this point the reader may think that it is the conscious of the speaker that is really bothering him rather than the mans heartbeat. Every time the speaker refers to the heartbeat he says that it keeps getting louder and louder. One can come to the assumption that at this point the speaker is only looking for reasons to support his killing a man. And in fact it is the beating of the mans heart that drove the speaker/killer to confessing about what he has done and showing the police where the body was.
