Analysis Of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, a sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre released in 1974, is a 1986 film directed by Tobe Hooper. This sequel is set 13 years after the events that transpired in the first film and follows Lieutenant "Lefty" Enright, played by Dennis Hopper, on his quest to find and destroy the Sawyer family the Sawyer clan did to his niece, Sally Hardesty, and his nephew, Franklin, in the first film of the franchise. Historically, "horror films developed out of the tradition of Gothic novels from Europe by way of Mary Shelley or Bram Stoker" (Dirks 788). Like these Gothic novels, horror cinema highlights the battle between good and evil whether it is between two separate individuals or entities, or a battle within the self. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2's narrative and description of the fight between good and evil allows for the analysis of theories such as isolation, exploration, transformation, and metamorphosis.

Mass murder is defined by the FBI as the killing of three or more people in a single event or in the same day (Petersen & Farrington, 2007). Mass murderers are complex and can be examined by the many factors that regularly appear among them, such as violence precipitating events, weapon of choice, and mental illnesses. The motivations and methods for committing mass murder are easily broken down into specific groups, and through the examination of these definitions and specific cases there is much to learn about the mind of a mass murderer.

Forensics has changed the way our criminal system works now. A lot of cases are being solved because of the development of forensics. Even cold cases are being brought up to the light to be investigated again and a good percentage of the cases are being solved and criminals are being brought to justice. The green river killer is one case that really got me intrigued into forensics and I got mesmerized by the techniques that are being used to catch murderers and other crimes being committed. The green river killer had an interesting childhood that led him to be a serial killer. He committed multiple murders on prostitutes and left there families with agony and pain. But advances in DNA ultimately led to his demise, police officers were able

It held many struggles and disagreements, which lead to many retaliations, from both the Indians and the settlers. The Indians had been alliances with the white men until the massacre, which stated the settlers betrayal to all tribes.

Since there are several factors related to the etiology of this and other mass shootings, an organizational system could be useful to determine each factor’s impact. The Bronfenbrenner Ecological Systems Theory can be applied to this situation very easily. Basically, this system describes the impact that each of the five environmental systems (micro, meso, exo, macro, and chrono) has on the individual. In the case of the Virginia Tech shooting, the micro and macro systems most directly apply (Bronfenbrenner, 1994).

The “Shootings at Columbine High School: The Law Enforcement Response” case, in Richard Stillman’s Public Administration: Concepts and Cases, Ninth Edition, covers the Columbine High School law enforcement response to the mass murders committed by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

Did you know, the bloodiest labor confrontation (The Everett Massacre) occurred in Washington state, on November 5th, 1916? Well, it’s true! That Sunday, a group called the Wobblies went on ships from Seattle, Washington to Everett, Washington. The biggest causes of the Everett Massacre are assumptions, fear, and most importantly, dissatisfaction.

World War I is ending and there is violence and racial unrest against African Americans.

During this standoff, two of the Indian activists were shot and killed diminishing the enthusiasm and determination of those who knew them. Additionally, food supplies were extremely low and then federal agents forbade the news media from entering the scene so that AIM’s message was no longer reaching the public, and after 71 days the elders of Pine Ridge, who had originally asked AIM to come, called an end to the occupation despite AIM’s objections. The Indians relinquished their position and many slipped away during the night to avoid arrest, others agreed to surrender their arms and submit to arrest. In the months following more than 500 arrests and 185 indictments were brought against AIM members, most of the charges were dismissed. But the federal government was not alone in going after the protestors of Wounded Knee, Dick Wilson had his own methods of retribution.

“Between the hours of nine and ten o’clock, being in my master’s house, was alarmed by the cry of fire, I ran down as far as the town-house, and then heard that the soldiers and the inhabitants were fighting in the alley… I then left them and went to King street. I then saw a party of soldiers loading their muskets about the Custom house door, after which they all shouldered. I heard some of the inhabitants cry out, “heave no snow balls”, others cried “they dare not fire”. The Boston massacre has been no massacre it was propaganda. The incident that happened March 5th, 1770 in the streets of Boston only killed five people and had six people with non fatal injuries. There were

Okay, so this article is a little chopped up and missing information, but with what I am given, and some personal knowledge, I can conclude that there was no “things got out of hand” at Wounded Knee. Even if there had been a situation where all of the male adult Sioux people had rebelled against the soldiers, there is no situation where the Sioux men would have willingly endangered that many women and children. In Native American culture it is the men’s job to protect the women and children. The fact that there were that many children and women in the area tells me that the Sioux did not want this to be a violent exchange. The fact that half of the 150 dead were women and children, tells me that the soldiers either carelessly shot into Sioux groups or directly targeted Sioux men, women, and children.

Day in and day out people find themselves rubbernecking down at their phones to reply to a text or check out a new instagram picture that whomever posted. Correspondingly, phones and the internet play a monumental role in our society today as how humans communicate relies solely on these devices. Comparable to our phones, our society craves horror such as in horror films and books. One specific horror film that is famous in the U.S. is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, involving five kids that stumble upon an eery home. How would this movie change if the cell phones used today were an invention in this time period? An upgrade in technology would change this movie drastically by the ways and systems of transportation, communication, and
