Ritter implicates that adolescents “particularly when confronted with stressful or emotional decisions, are more likely to act impulsively, on instinct, without fully understanding or analyzing the consequences of their actions” (Ritter). This exact reason can explain why Charlie shot his mothers boyfriend, as the years of abuse kept adding up to the point he acted out on instinct. The reason as to why adolescents act impulsively, such as Charlie is due to lack of full development in their brain, mainly in the region of the frontal lobes. This evidence suggests that teens have less control over their environment, and tend to not become violent adults, although violent as adolescents. This seems a likely explanation for the boy’s behavior, that and the abuse he endured. The fact that the justice system was still seeking the death penalty for this type of crime, is not unreasonable given the circumstances, and this course of action has not been effective in deterring juvenile crime or actually serving justice.

In this article, it is mentioned that he murdered an architect named Stanford White over jealousy because White was having an affair with his wife which is Evelyn Nesbit. However, I would say there is a reason of why Nesbit was not faithful to him. Nesbit wrote a book called “Autobiography Prodigal Days” and mentioned a lot of negative habits about her husband. For instance, she stated in her book that her husband is a sadist. This is because Thaw have sex very roughly in a punishing way and he relates slaves to his wife while they were together. Nesbit mentioned that the sex was more of an attack than actual love. Besides that, Nesbit says that he has cocaine addiction and thinks that his masturbating routine might be one of the causes for his insanity.

Gary Ridgway was born in salt lake city, Utah as the second of three sons to his parents Mary and Thomas Ridgway. He grew up in an abusive household with a domineering mother who would bully him and belittle him for wetting the bed into his teenage years, and a father who would tell him stories about necrophiliac acts his co workers would commit at his job as a mortician. His school life wasn't that great either. He had an IQ of 82 which caused him to repeat two grades. No one really remembered him. He was the kind of kid that faded into the background and the unnoticed one in school photos. He played football in high school but none of his coaches could even remember what position he played. He was the type of kid who didn’t really stand out. Many of his classmates remembered him as a nice guy, but pretty average. But this was only the side he wanted them to see. Behind the scenes he was a boy who had feeling of anger and sexual attraction towards his mother, and a boy who lead a six-year-old boy to the woods and attempted to murder him when he was only 16. The boy survived and said he remembered Ridgeway walking away laughing and saying “i always wondered what it would be like to kill someone."

The NL West is a riveting division which produced two playoffs teams last year; although four can be considered to have a shot this season, at least one of those four will disappoint. The Dodgers have won the division each of the last four years and will likely win it again this season. They have both a dynamite lineup and a light ‘em up rotation, but were plagued by injuries last season and have numerous players who are injury risks this year. Their ace is Clayton Kershaw, who has been an all-star for six consecutive seasons and the NL Cy Young winner thrice; in one of those years he won the NL MVP as well. Rich Hill pitched superbly last season when he was on the mound, but he gets injured way too often. Kenta Maeda pitched well

Most people don’t realize when they listen to music what the lyrics of the song actually mean, for the most part people care about the beat, melody, and if it’s catchy, they look for a song they will get hooked on. Although lyrics are a big component in a song and play a major role in the liking of a song, they often tend to be underappreciated and not recognized as much as they should be. Furthermore the lyrics of a song tell a story, state an opinion and show the listener more than just words they hear. That brings us to the song “I’m Just a Kid” By Simple Plan. From hearing the song one can tell that the song is fun to listen to dance to and overall a relatively happy song, however from taking a deeper look and understanding of the lyrics one can see a whole new point of view.
