Henry Armstrong Unit 1 Learning Journal

The narrator the victim's brother is guilty for the death of William Armstrong also known as Doodle. He is guilty for these reasons, Brother was always horribly rude and vicious to Doodle, the narrator never really cared about Doodle and only cared about himself, and lastly Brother was the one who left Doodle alone in the storm to die.

As the noise grew louder the narrator decided to make the final approach towards the old man by running out yelling “Die, Die!” As the old man dies, the narrator said “Still his heart was beating; but I smiled as I felt that success was near. For many minutes that heart continued to beat; but at last the beating stopped.” As the situation stopped the narrator soon calmed down which slowed down his heart rate, the narrator soon grabbed the bed sheets, to closely listen to the old man’s heart. Once he was pleased of not hearing the heart, he quickly dismembered the body and hid the old man in his bedroom under the floor planks.

The poem, “Death of a Young Son by Drowning” written by Margaret Atwood was awfully sad and tragic as it described the death of her son and its lasting effect on her. The speaker begins the poem by describing how her son was brave, adventurous and led with success. However, the mood of the poem quickly changes as the young boy slipped off the bank and into the water. From there, the boy struggles in the water before eventually drowning. As he is pulled out of the water the mother realizes that all the plans that she had for the future are over and that a part of her has died alongside her son. Atwood uses multiple types of figurative language that gives this poem a sense of realism and really shows the reader the devastation and heartache that occurs after the loss of a child.

While investigations were going on to determine how victims died, there was a discovery of fibers on the victims’ bodies. The goal of the investigator was to determine if any fibers in Wayne Williams home or person matched those fibers found on the victims. Williams denied killing

Forensic science has come a long way from where it was less than 100 years ago. It has only been relatively recently that the advancement of technology we use, has occurred. The Body Farm, an institute in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a place where dead corpses are left to rot and then studied on how the body decays in different circumstances. Death’s Acre: Inside the Legendary Body Farm tells about the farm from Dr. Bill Bass’ point of view, from the establishment of the farm, to the impact in the world of forensic science the farm has caused. David Pitt and Alynda Wheat offers their insight into the book in their reviews. The Body Farm has been a monumental stepping stone to the advancement of modern day forensic sciences. Dr. Bill Bass, is making

In the beginning of the story the author (Shirley Jackson) starts the story off by describing the scenery of a town in which the town is richly green and the people are starting to gather together. In the text it states, “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green.The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock” Carefully crafting words in the quotation such as fresh warmth and village began to gather creates the illusion that there is going to be an event which is rather

This caught my attention right away and hooked me in. Along with being a topic I was quite interested in (reference to last nonfiction book report), the first two sentences got me wondering. What could be told from a murdered person’s body? I already had a lot of background information from research and watching shows on mystery and homicide but this question led to a million answers. Some answers were cause of death, manner of death. time of death, weapon used, etc, all of which were related because this was sparked from the thought of a dead person and my ideas. From this, I read on to determine what could be told from an expert’s point of view.

It was the midst of day, June 30, 20--; an ill-pleasuring mess had been proposed to the police of Detroit. The corpse of an old, clumsy, joke of a gentlemen, found covered in newspaper dumped into a dumpster. The corpse was dismantled, mangled, and at the same time of many other killings. The detective, Ms. Liu, immediately concluded the cause of death and the murder weapon.

4. Identify several procedures that might have helped save the couple if they had been found

2. According to the opinion, Mrs. Stowers was committed on the strength of the statement of two physicians that she was "mentally ill." Would that evidence be sufficient today to have someone committed involuntarily? If not, what would the evidence have to prove? Why?

In the story, the ending says “The grass of many years has sprung up and withered on that grave, the burial stone is mossgrown, and good Mr. Hooper’s face is dust; but awful is still the thought that it mouldered beneath the Black Veil!.” (13) The same end has the clues that show us the effect that is wanted to create with the story, which are deductible due to the tone, the subject of the speaker and the vocabulary. The subject he is talking about is the death and burial of a corpse. In addition, it names the disintegration of the corpse under the gravestone. The vocabulary used, the use of the words "black veil”, "disintegrated" are all strong words that point in the same direction. And finally the tone, of excitement, marked by the exclamation marks and the feeling of surprise all

Competing in Crossfit competitions is no easy task by any means. It requires an array of skills that cover all aspects of physical fitness. Having a successful team would require four different people that specialize in each movement and one more person that does not specialize, but is rather good at every motion required. If each person does what they are best at, the team will be more successful than any others in the world.

In this paper, I will discuss the background of forensic pathology, the pros and cons of forensic pathology, and the similar and different in a forensic pathologist and a coroner. There are various disciplines in Forensic Science that can help with a crime, and solving that crime. One of these various disciplines is Forensic Pathology which the study of disease, and its causes, moreover; it involves the discovering the cause of the death where a death is sudden or suspicion to law enforcement. While a Forensic Pathologist can be helpful to law enforcement, and helpful in assisting in crime investigation, there are cons to being forensic pathologist. Furthermore, forensic pathologist can be confused with coroner even though they do the same

The pelvis was short and sharply angled and the femoral head measured 50 millimeters, indicating the body was a male. In addition to gender, Dr. Bass and his colleagues observed that the sternal end of the clavicle was fully fused and the pubic symphysis had a rough bumpy service. This meant the body was in its late twenties, between ages 26-29. They observed the left and right femur to measure approximately 490 millimeters, indicating the male was between 5’9 and 6’0 feet tall. They observed no signs of trauma to the bones, but by the color of flesh and state of decomposition, the estimated time of death was between 2-6 months. Step 2: Formulation of an hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation. What hypothesis/hypotheses did Dr. Bass and colleagues make to explain their observations? : The following statement is the hypothesis Dr. Bass andhis colleagues made to explaintheir observations. The body found within thegrave of Colonel Shy belonged to a male who was in his late twenties and stood between 5’9 and 6’0 tall. The male was a murder victim who died between 2-6 months ago.Step 3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations. What predictions did Dr. Bass and

The sister prepares the evening meal, making her contribution to the family; and calls on the boy to come and eat. The saw in the boy?s hands was still running and when he took his attention away from his work, and that split second of carelessness cost him an extremity. His instincts raised his arm upward to keep all the blood from spilling out immediately. When he realized what was happening, the boy finally realized he was to young to be doing a man?s work. The boy ?saw all spoiled,? and now knew his whole childhood had vanished and it was impossible to get it back. The boy frantically called out to his sister to make the doctor keep his hand on. The boy?s body must have instantly gone into shock and not felt the absence of the hand. When the doctor arrived he gave him some ether to make him go to sleep. The little boy began to lose his pulse and soon he was a stranger to the world. The people surrounding the boy never expected the loss of his hand to tragically end the little boy?s life. Frost?s almost appalling casual description of death shocks the reader enough to make them think. ?Since they were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,? describes the environment of the survivors. They are forced to move on with their life and keep working because they cannot afford to stop and mourn.
