And Then There Were None Analysis

All the victims died in the afternoon and some died within an hour of a house call by Dr. Shipman, which established another pattern set by Harold Shipman. Dr. Shipman proceeded further by forging death certificates and orchestrated his colleagues approving forged cremation forms for the victims. All victims were cremated, which destroyed the evidence for law enforcement to be able to recover if needed. He was under the suspicion of murder but was never informed to stop practicing during any investigations or allegations (Daily mail.com). The British law enforcement officials never arrested Dr. Shipman

No one would suspect a thing if she died while being operated on, but now that the secret was out, he gradually became more and more paranoid and almost lost his nerve. On page 212, Agatha Christie wrote, “Armstrong was in a pitiable condition of nerves. He twitched and his hands shook.” His paranoia made him make a rash decision. He wanted to stay alive as long as he could, so he teamed up with Wargrave. Armstrong believed Wargrave’s plan of faking a death would weed out the killer, therefore letting them all get off the island. He had no idea the killer would be the man he teamed up with because he was certain in his own mind the killer was Lombard. This conclusion, though, had been made out of fear, so there had not been much thought behind it. This ultimately led to his downfall when Wargrave baited him outside and pushed him into the heaving

Stephanie Clifford’s A Shot to the Heart tells the story of Peter Forcelli, a Bronx detective that had arrested and convicted Edward Garry, an innocent man. Garry was charged with the robbery of Irene’s New Hope Grocery and the murder of retired NYPD officer Oswald Potter. When the robbery occurred, Potter attempted to stop the robbery when shouting, “I am a police officer” and knocking a suspect to the ground. Later gunshots were heard coming from the grocery store as two suspects fled the scene. Potters was found collapsed in a car with a single gunshot wound to the chest and later was pronounced dead at a hospital. Forcelli the explains that the arrival of a new system called CompStat and the murder of a police officer created an immense pressure to solve the case as quickly as possible. Basing their arrest off two unconfident eyewitnesses who picked Garry out of a line up, without any physical evidence or even a confession. Not long after Forcelli joined the A.T.F. where he soon developed his interest in pursuing wrongful convictions. His new passion had reminded him of Edward Garry’s case and the idea that a man was convicted on such little evidence made him sick. Forcelli then made it his goal to exonerate Garry, an innocent man serving a life sentence. Forcelli then notes the difficulty of freeing an innocent man from his sentence is much more difficult than convicting him in the first place.

This person is unlike any of the passengers aboard the Stamboul-Calais coach. Hildegarde Schmidt tells Poirot she saw a man in a Wagon Lit Conductor's uniform moving quickly down the hallway that matched Hardman's description. The passengers attempt to create an enemy and a person that entered the train, murdered Ratchett and quickly left. The passengers use the idea of a typical murderer to convince Poirot that the mysterious person kills Ratchett. The twelve murderers use the concealment and the lie to hide their identities and erase any connection to the Armstrong case.

Another suspicious act is made by Mr. Baumer when on page 8, Mr. Baumer casually talks to Mr. Slade and acts like they were friends. Why would Mr. Baumer be so forgiving to Mr. Slade after Mr. Slade called him “Dutchie”, broke his nose, broke his hand, and even refused to pay his bills? This is altogether very suspicious that an innocent man would do this. The logical conclusion is; that Mr. Baumer is guilty! There is no logical way to prove Mr. Baumers

When listening to the song “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” by Cage the Elephant, the theories that best describe this song are the Techniques of Neutralization by Sykes and Matza, and the Rational Choice Theory by Cornish and Clark. Sykes and Matza outlined five techniques based on offenders coming up with excuses when committing crimes to defend themselves. On the other hand, Cornish and Clark discuss four decisions to commit crime that offenders are concerned about when deciding whether to involve themselves in crime, so they outweigh the risks vs. the rewards. In Sykes and Matza Techniques of Neutralization, the five techniques include; denial of responsibility, denial of injury, denial of the victim,

Finding that he wasn’t home, she and the doctor’s wife returned to the Borden home. Meanwhile, Mrs. Churchill, the dearest neighbor to the Borden’s, discovered Lizzie on the back porch in great distress. She walked over to the house to console her after hearing that Mr. Borden had been murdered she volunteered to send her handyman to find a doctor, and to help. The police station, about 400 yards away, received the message at 11:15. By 11:45 the police and Dr. Bowen were on the scene (Sullivan 16).

They brought her down to the station to be questioned. There were two people in this tight, dark, eerie room. The police and Miss strangeworth stared intensely at each other for what felt like hours. It was silence but you could hear Miss Strangeworth crying of fear. The officer began to ask simple questions. He started with the ‘who’ of this investigation. “I am the only one writing these letters” she confesses “But I have a letter on almost everyone in this small town.” The officer asks for how long she has been writing these letters

Carly was more nervous than she the first time she came back, she started shaking. Detective Jones saw and asked her if she was alright Carly told him she was fine and continued walking. She felt like she did the night of the murder, her stomach was flipping, she felt like someone was watching her but she didn’t say anything with the fear of having to leave. She heard leaves crunching, the noise became louder and faster she whipped her head around with the fear that the murderer was after her, but it was only a cat. She started breathing heavily, she had to sit down. Detective Jones ran over and told her to breathe slowly while he ran to get water from the car. Carly drank the water and sat and watched Detective Jones investigate. One hour later they decided they had found enough clues so they headed

There were many suspects of who murdered Elizabeth Short, but George Hodel was the biggest of them all. Detectives had suspected that only a person who could have done a bisection so perfectly had to be a skilled doctor. This is where many people had became convinced George Hodel was the killer, but among the suspects there was seven doctors (Latson) . Although many people had committed to be the killer, one promising admission came a few weeks after the murder from, an army Corporal who claimed he had been drinking with Elizabeth Short in San Francisco a few days before her body was discovered (Hodel). He had became a prime suspect when he confessed in the murder, but evidence emerged that he had been on his military base the day of Elizabeth Short’s death (Hodel). Investigator Walter Morgan had taken over the Black Dahlia investigation, Walter Morgan had done the unthinkable. He along with police detectives, slipped into George Hodel’s house and planted eavesdropping devices all over the house (Hodel). Walter Morgan waited for a long period of time until he finally caught George Hodel talking about the murder, George Hodel was heard saying “This is the best payoff I’ve seen between law enforcement agencies. And I’d like to get a connection made in the DA’s office.” The transcripts no longer exist, but there was more to what George Hodel said, “Supposing I did kill the Black

The world we live in has made many mistakes, and it’s far from perfect. In Chip Wards letter “We Screwed Up” 2012 to his granddaughter Maddie. Chip tells us that he wants to apologize for his and past generations mistakes of being ignorant. He is sorry for depleting all the natural resources, the species going instinct, the chemical obsession and the increase in advertising he refers to as confusion.

Jay MacLeod’s Ain’t No Makin It: Aspirations and Attainment in a Low-Income Neighborhood follows a group of boys from a low-income housing development called Clarendon Heights. MacLeod interviews the boys multiple times during their lifetime to understand if they remained in lower income areas with the same low aspirations. He follows two groups of boys called the Hallway Hangers due to always hanging around the school hallways and the Brothers. The predominantly white Hallway Hangers participate in a different subculture compared to the predominantly black Brothers. For the Hallway Hangers, their main purpose involves being bad. Their definition of bad involves drinking alcohol and consuming drugs on a regular basis. The Brothers remain active

While trying to figure out what to do with the body they go have a look at the cook Mrs. Ho to find her murdered in the kitchen, with the knife in her back. On coming back to the study Mr. Boddy has vanished to be later found bleeding from the head in the washroom attacked with the candlestick.

Due to Holmes’ suspicion he and Watson desired to investigate further; they departed to Stoke Moran. They revealed some interesting clues. First of all, the bed was clamped to the floor, there were metallic bars on the windows, along with a forged bell chord attached to a ventilator. Holmes soon found out that the ventilator was connected to Dr. Roylott 's room. This made Sherlock curious, wanting to know more. Helen was a young woman who was frightened of the strong and abusive, Dr. Roylott. She had prearranged to switch places with Sherlock and Watson so they could resolve the case once and for all. She exchanged places after Dr. Roylott was “asleep”. When Sherlock and Holmes arrived to Stoke Moran, they waited and waited. During the middle of the story, both the mood and tone shift. The mood soon became petrified. The tone soon also became something else, challenging. Sherlock Holmes and

Introduction This paper seeks to investigate the flaws within the state of capitalism. For this purpose, I have chosen to analyse the song “Ain’t no rest for the wicked” by Cage the Elephant, a society critical rock band from the USA. The focus when analysing the linguistic dimension will be to focus on looking at which linguistic tools, have been used for the message to come across. When analysing the content of the song I will be using the Marxist method, to cast light on the essence with in the song.
