Jay Wilds Character Analysis

The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.

In fact there is no evidence tying him to the crime at all except a few fingerprints and a handprint in Hae Min Lee’s car which means that Syed was at some point in her car. This mean nothing because of how often they hung out together while they were dating and afterwards. Even after the break up both Syed and Lee were still good friends (Episode 1). When law enforcement discovered the body they also found two pieces of evidence next to the body, an empty bottle of alcohol and a piece of rope; they didn't test those two for any DNA evidence (Episode 3). Also supposedly there was shovels Wilds and Syed used to dig the grave for Lee but, both shovels were never recovered along with their soiled clothing that they had on that day from the graves dirt. Wilds threw away the evidence away behind West View mall. “She dives Jay back to Eastview Mall to the dumpsters back there so that Jay can Retrieve the shovels and wipe the handles clean of fingerprints” (Episode 4). The whole ordeal with evidence is almost sketchy seeing how little solid physical evidence the state have against Syed .Proving the state's case was weak there was one person that could disprove that Syed left with Wilds to kill Lee; that person is Asia McLean. McLean in fact wrote Syed notes saying she saw Syed and talked to him in the library at the same time the murder was suppose to take place. No attorney contacted McLean

Jay: I’m the criminal element of Woodlawn. Perceived. It's like how the student body sees me. You know, I mean, people who really know me know that I'm not like that but, you know, you get a certain reputation and kinda sticks with you. Detective: Because of the contacts you have with helping him get his marijuana, he thinks that you're in that element that would be willing to assist him in, um, disposing of the body?”. With this evidence I think that Jay Wilds is framing Adnan Syed & even though Adnan is in jail doesn’t mean he is a killer.So Jay has some experience of

The podcast Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig, follows the riveting murder mystery of Hae Min Lee, a well-loved senior at Woodlawn High School. The prime suspect was her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, with whom she had broken up prior to her death. Throughout the series, Koenig analyzes court transcripts and investigates the prosecution’s evidence in order to determine whether or not Syed’s incarceration was justified. Due to the absence of physical evidence and numerous inconsistencies in the state’s allegations, Adnan Syed is innocent in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.

Jay Wilds is an unreliable source of information. He has even admitted to lying to the police when asked if he knew anything about the murder of Hae. Then, he admitted that he had lied and told the entire story, which could also be a lie. However, over time, the stories began to began to change; details were being left out and time frames were different. Jay told the police multiple versions of the story. The first time, he stated that Adnan had told him that

In the biography Into the Wild written by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless makes the decision to try and live in the wilderness. With little food, no communication with the outside world, and dangers around every corner McCandless decides to try and survive. Possible character traits that McCandless had that caused him to make this decision are: thrill-seeker, overconfident, or he was just inspired and wanted to live poor instead of wealthy.

Sweeny Todd is one of the best examples of mise-en-sene within burtons film such as the location of his barber shop where he kills his customers is located right across from a church which shows that Sweeny Todd has two sides to him a good one and a bad one also in his shop he has a cracked mirror opposite the church and when he is killing his customers he closes that window as is he is showing he feels guilty about what he is doing another example is in Edward scissor hands in the film when you first see a long shot of the dark and gloomy castle and the suburban town where everything looks the same which leads us to believe that whoever lives up in that castle is a monster and he people in the town are all lovely people but it is quite the

Brian Williams is not afraid of being in the media spotlight, for he works with NBC Nightly News. CNN describes Williams as “the broadcast news nerd extraordinate—everyone’s friendly neighborhood TV news anchorman writ large” (D. Brinkley, “The Brian Williams case – that’s the way it wasn’t”, CNN.com). He is thought out to have a two-act personality of a serious journalist and a surprisingly funny clown. These two different personalities that he had, made him fail in considering that there were deaths in the Iraq war and the hurricane Katrina national disaster. Both of these stories from Iraq and Katrina back to back, landed Williams himself in a crisis of him losing his job and the publics trust.

The majority of his inconsistencies were small and minor things that could have been labeled as, “the slip of the tongue.” Although most of them were minor inconsistencies, there were a few major ones. One of which being, in one of Jay’s earlier interviews, he claimed that Adnan had shown him Hae’s body at the strip - a small outdoor market. Then in his next interview, he claimed that Adnan showed him Hae’s body at Best Buy. Koenig becomes skeptical about this specific inconsistency, as do I, because no matter how nervous or scared you are, you do not just suddenly forget where you last saw a dead body. This specific piece of Jay’s story got me to think about lying, specifically, lying during a trial or a crime scene investigation. This got me fascinated with lies, as to why would a person lie unless they are connected to the crime? Speaking from personal experience, I do not lie just because I want to, but because it gets easier to get away from the problem. As much as I want to believe that this was the same for Jay, I simply cannot. He said that he thought there were security cameras that would have caught him helping Adnan, and he did not want to be associated with it (Serial). But that does not just simply get him removed from the list of suspects. In fact, I believe that him lying about seeing Hae’s body at two different locations makes him

The panel that grabbed my interest is the one at the bottom of page 95. It shows a dramatic disconnect in the family, the caption referring to it as “a chink in my family’s armor.” In the foreground, Alison is sitting in front of the TV set, while in the background her father is busy dusting plastic flowers. There are many important details in the frame that help the readers to understand the emotional world of Alison’s childhood. First, she purposely positioned the point of view just behind her younger self; this allows the reader to observe Bruce almost through her own eyes while still watching the TV show. The zoom difference creates an impression of spatial disconnect between the father and the daughter. Second, the big TV set projects The Rifleman, with gun shots and cowboy hats. Young Alison is sitting right in front of the TV, subconsciously defending it from her father.

We become human only in the company of other human beings. And this involves both opening our hearts and giving voice to our deepest convictions. ...When we shrink from the world, our souls shrink, too. Paul "Everything is connected with everything else. In the spiritual world, those connections become visible. But in the physical world, we only glimpse the connections in the clues given to us through coincidence." This quote mean that everything is intertwined. Life is like the butterfly effect, even if one thing does not happen then it can mess up a lot. Small things such as finger monkeys, ducks and snowflakes related to bigger things such as Tom Cruise and Robin Williams.

A moody teenage boy has to stop a machine that affects one’s emotions and threatens to destroy humanity.
