It had been a week since Rainsford managed to kill the nefarious General Zaroff. The challenging part was almost over or so it seemed. There was not a clear way for Rainsford to escape. As days passed, Rainsford tried to escape. He tried making a boat from driftwood that he found, he tried swimming, he even tried sending a signal by using a flashlight. Rainsford had become so desperate that he even tried some ridiculous plans like trying to pole vault across the ocean. As a result, Rainsford ended up having huge gashes in his left leg ,which got infected, and he had to amputate it. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Rainsford had lost hope and became bitter.

This year’s shootings has climbed by twenty percent from 2013, there have been nearly one hundred homicides involving guns so far this year. This is an upsurge from sixty nine during the same period in both 2013 and 2014.In. In New York city officials have blamed the upsurge of homicides on deadly conflicts between career criminals and blamed gang activity in Brooklyn and the Bronx. On the other hand what’s been happening in Baltimore is different. The number of homicides has doubled while shootings has climbed more than eighty percent, and the vast majority of experts say that it is at partially connected to a averseness by police officers to aggressively do their jobs.

(The Neighborhood Scout, 2009) In Minneapolis, a city with about one-half the population of Detroit, the number of murders was 47. Not only is the population less than Detroit, the murder rate 6 times lower than Detroit. Here you can see that population seems to play a role in the amount of murders for these metropolitan areas. The area that had the most reported incidents of murder was Detroit. Minneapolis has shown that they have seen a 17% decrease in violent crimes over the past 3 years.

Detroit tops Forbes list of the Most Dangerous Cities this year for the fifth year in a row. What is encouraging is the violent crime rate in the Motor City actually declined last year, despite crushing financial woes that drove Detroit into the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. Crime affects the people of Detroit and the city’s reputation, employment, income and education. It should be stopped to make Detroit prosper and make the lives of the people living there better.

For my first book report, I chose the novel Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War by Steve Sheinkin. This book, based on the title and from the works of the author, is an informative book, or a non-fiction novel. This can contribute to one reason I chose to read this book. There are many reasons as to why I chose this novel for my first report. One being, I was already in the middle of reading this book, so I chose to finish this book early and take my time for the writing of the report itself. It’s much more convenient that way. Another reason, one that relates to the book itself, it that the author, Steve Sheinkin, is well known for other books, one of which I read was Bomb: Race to Build and Steal the

When many people think of hunting, they often think of searching through forests, jungles, and fields to find certain animals that they will stalk and then kill. However, Rainsford, a character in “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, is forced to try a very different form of this sport invented by a mysterious man he meets on Ship Trap Island. General Zaroff, another character in this short story, traps people on his island and hunts with them by seeing if they can survive three nights and evade his attempts at killing them. Before arriving on this obscure island, Rainsford was already an experienced hunter, already heard of by quite a few people. After falling off his yacht and relying on his instincts to safely make it to

On January 17, 2017, “Surge in the Violence” was released by the Crime lab at the University of Chicago, which had combined a report on the statistics of homicides taken place in the year 2015 and 2016. The number of homicides taken place in the year of 2016 has soared by record high of 67 percent than the previous year. Chicago is one of the busiest and advanced cities in the world and getting such high numbers in the field of crime is a shame and leaves a bad impression on the rest of the world. The violence related to guns has also increased enormously and according to “Chicago Tribune”, 2,958 people have been shot dead by now this year. Though the data shows that the homicides by gun has decreased significantly but the number is still a problem. The gun violence now is a serious problem and the current situation demands strict gun laws.

UCR helped me to find out more about the crimes reported in this area by the UCR so that I can determine the different levels of security before choosing the best city to live in. For the city of Cambridge that is located in the state of Massachusetts, I found out that it had the least rate of part 1 crimes overall with 2692.2 part 1 crimes per 100000 people compared to both the city of Miami that is located in the state of Florida and the city of New Haven which is located in the state of Connecticut while the city of Miami that is located in the state of Florida had the most crime rate of 5908.4 part 1 crimes per 100000 people. It is more than a half (UCR, 2015:1).

This year, there have been 27 homicides in Wilmington, tying its record 27 murders in 2010, and 135 people have been shot. Twenty-two of them died. With a population of just over 71,000, Wilmington had a violent- crime rate of 1,625 per 100,000 people last year, according to the FBI’s 2013 Uniform Crime Report (that crime rate measures murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault). The national average was 368 per 100,000 people. Wilmington ranks third for violence among to a Wilmington News Journal Report. For a city mired in violence, the most stunning fact of all may be that Wilmington just got its first homicide unit.

Wild animals are often tied to danger as they can represent murderous beings. Some wild animals are considered harmless while others are looked up to as the rulers of their ecosystems. As many of these carnivorous beasts represent physical danger, they can also symbolize spiritual nemeses. For instance, the Bible states, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (New American Standard Bible, 1 Pet. 5.8). While Satan is always sneaking around to try and devour each one of us, our savior Jesus Christ arrives to rescue us from the demonic one. In the story “Little Red Cap” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, there is a little innocent girl that goes to visit her grandmother. While taking the path through the woods, she encounters a talking wolf that tempted her to go off her path; ultimately, resulting in her and her grandmother being devoured. However, a huntsman hears the wolf snoring and cuts him open to save the girl and her grandmother. This story relates to the constant spiritual warfare that we all face as the mother’s path for the girl to follow symbolizes the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the wolf symbolizes Satan who tempts us, and the huntsman symbolizes Jesus Christ who saves us from the wicked one.
