Charles Armstrong Research Paper

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie is a murder-mystery novel that takes place on a train headed toward Calais. In the middle of the 2nd night aboard, the train comes to a halt, and the passengers are stuck in a snowstorm. It is then discovered that a man has been murdered, and everyone in the train is now a suspect. The novel follows Hercule Poirot as he examines the evidence and tries to piece together the story behind the murder. Throughout the novel, the theme of justice is very important because it is repeatedly mentioned, it was initially evaded by the victim, and is revealed to be the inspiration behind the murder.

Just imagine a baby laughing and playing with their toys. Now imagine that being taken from you. Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Lindbergh were robbed of that pleasure. Bruno Richard Hauptmann was found guilty for this disturbing crime. Although critics would argue that Bruno was innocent, they are incorrect. It is absolutely obvious that Hauptmann was guilty because of the evidence of the ransom money, the ransom note, and the ladder.

This case has been studied and theorized on since it happened. Since he never told the world the truth, we may never know. I believe, if the police had been more diligent we may have known what really happened. It is true that you never really know what happened unless you were there, but even then everyone present has a different account of the facts. The defense attorney committed several grievous errors, as well as the police investigators. There are allegations of paid witnesses, as well as jury misconduct. In today’s courtroom settings things would go a lot smoother and I believe Mr. Hauptmann would have received a mistrial at the very least. Was he guilty? The world wonders. Did Mr. Lindbergh kill his own child and create this elaborate hoax to cover it up? He certainly had the financial resources to do

Louis was the illegitimate son of William Armstrong and Mary Est “Mayann” Albert. He was abandoned by his father, a boiler stoker, shortly after his birth and was raised by his paternal grandmother. Then, at the age of five, he was returned to the care of his mother, who at the time worked as a laundress. Together with his mom, they moved to a better area of New Orleans. This is where Armstrong first fell in love with music; he would listen to people playing any chance that he would get(Tirro). He would attend parades, funerals, churches and go to cheap cabarets to be able to hear some of the greats play

Charles “Chick” King was born on November 10th, 1930, in Paris, Tennessee. He lived in Paris most of his life until he was drafted to the Major League Baseball Association in 1951.

He ran track at Memphis but mostly enjoyed the great game of baseball. That’s when he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1951.

The main point of this article is that this story has most classic Christie themes including an enclosed setting (oriented express) and loose associates among suspects. In a detective novel, the suspects usually is much closer to the dead person. But in Murder On The Orient Express, the readers are aware that one after another passengers is connected with the Armstrong kidnapping case. In the end it turns out that everyone has something to hide; however, the criminals are let off scot-free because they have got rid of the world of a monster that law cannot reach,

In the world of Jazz there are known to be only two time periods in jazz: before Charlie Parker and after Charlie Parker.

Carlie Parker’s complex harmony and rhythms he integrated into his improvisation solo style laid the groundwork for the creation of a new jazz style known today as bebop.

“One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife,” quoted by Charles Ives. Music played a significant role Ives’ family from generations to generations which were carried down to Charles.
