The story of “The Tell-Tale Heart” is suspicious and mysterious, but what really caused the narrator to kill somebody? Most people kill others because they’re either told to because someone they know is taken a hostage, or they do it just so they can blame their relatives.The narrator’s tone and mood are the ones to blame, but are the tone and mood both true or are they both lies? We may not know, but we will find the answer sooner or later.

Why was I the one to get pulled? There were so many people at the party and I was the one to get interrogated? My luck. The officer sat me down at a table in a bland room with non-transparent glass. He sat down across from me and looked at me with a death stare. After about a minute or so, he said “ Hello Mr. Khalifa, I’m officer Marcus Hopson”. I sat apprehensively thinking about what to say. “Okay well you already know what you’re in here for, so start talking” Hopson said. All I could do was look down. Once I decided to talk, I said “What are you wanting to hear from me?”. Hopson laughed and turned around to look at me in the reflective glass. Looking at me more intensely in the glass, he said “Don’t play stupid. We know you were at that

In 1995 Duane Buck was convicted for the murder of his former girlfriend Debra Gardner and her friend Kenneth Butler. He was sentenced to death in 1997 and his case should definitely not be taken lightly, but Buck was given the death penalty over life in prison because of the fact that he was an African American. A state psychologist in his case, Dr. Quijano, argued that African American criminals are more susceptible to pose a future danger to the public, and this was the key testimony that the prosecutor relied on. Since then, his case has not been reopened. It was later admitted by a district attorney at the time of Buck’s case that African American jurors were routinely dismissed by prosecutors. In 2011, his lawyer argued that he deserved a new sentencing hearing without tainted prejudicial testimony, but his request was ultimately denied and they continued with the set execution date. The death penalty is prejudice and goes against all religious beliefs, but death overall is a cruel and unusual punishment and should not be used as a form of punishment by the government.
An individual would expect a pirate film to contain plenty of adventure, similar to “Pirates of the Caribbean the Curse of the Black Pearl.” An audience could clearly see an exciting and thrilling journey unfold at the beginning of the film. The main character Jack Sparrow, a witty and clever pirate embarks on a journey to rescue the governor’s daughter and recapture the magnificent ship once belonged to him, the Black Pearl. To add extra interest to this movie the director included a romance between Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Throughout the film these two characters protected one another and had each other backs when there was danger.

Dead men tell tales because their bones can be used to tell how they died. The bones can also tell, how old, what gender, and what race the victim was. The bones are a big part of finding out how a person died by looking at medical records, mostly X-rays of the victim. They look for dental records for a victim if they think they had some sort of dental records. The forensic anthropologist looks for marks on the would represent, such as healed breaks, fractures, bone disease, surgical marks, amputations, bone abnormalities, and arthritis. Investigators look for surgical appliances, such as pacemakers, artificial hips, false teeth, and metal plates and pins. The best chance to identify a person would be the skull. Though dead men can’t tell you
Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film of Pirates. The whole movie was about Pirates, their lifestyle such as stealing a boat from other people which were shown in the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole a boat from the British people. Other fascinating facts which I found about pirates were shown in the movie when they showed a couple of punishments for pirates who committed crimes and of course the myth of mermaids which for me was inaccurate. This movie was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski.
