Butch Cassidy and his members of the Wild Bunch left a remarkable chapter in the history of old American West. Interestingly, Butch was no mean robber, but someone full of charm. The story of the group was made more interesting with the addition of Butch’s constant partner-in-crime, Sundance Kid.

Gacy lost confidence in himself due to his father never having a connection that he long strived for, but never once did he say that he hated his father. If Gacy Jr. were to ever make a disapproving choice in front of his father, his father would not only beat him as punishment but would call him names such as “queer.” Not long after the sexual nicknames began, Gacy Jr. and a friend were caught trying to perform sexual acts on a young girl, but Gacy thought it was okay, after being a victim of sexual assault himself. A friend of the Gacy family would get John Jr. alone in his truck and perform sexual acts on him, but Gacy never told anyone because he thought it would get back to his father who would proceed to call him names such as “queer.” John did not want to disappoint his father any more than he already had, so he kept it a secret, saving himself from the blame his father would have put on him. John tried to replace his loneliness with being a teacher's pet, by helping with errands and handing out papers, but it soon led to him being bullied and mocked by his classmates. To make his school matters worse, John started having health problems in the fourth grade when his appendix burst, and he started blacking out

The boy was a son of one of the members of Jaycee. He lured the young boys into his house and assaulted him. This would only be the fist of the many other boys he raped and molested over the next few months of his life. A young victim of Gacy’s assault named Donald Voorhees, informed his father about what Gacy did to him. The father contacted the police and Gacy was arrested. Being that there was no proof of his misconduct, he was released. Scared of being caught, Gacy hired one of his employees to physically assault the young boy in an effort to scare him so he would not testifying against Gacy. Donald immediately reported the attack to the police. Gacy was again arrested and this time was convicted of sodomy in December 1968. Gacy was sentenced 10 years at the Anamosa State Penitentiary. His wife, in disbelief of her husband's actions, divorced him in 1969. Gacy was released on good behavior after only 18 months. Gacy moved back to Chicago, but to a new neighborhood where no one knew him. He developed good relationships with his neighbors, and in 1972 he was remarried to a woman named Carole Hoff. Within a few years of their marriage, Gacy openly confessed to Carole that he was bisexual. Gacy became an active member of his community. He often dressed up as a clown and attended young children's birthday parties. He was creating a very positive image for himself. Gacy seemed to be a respectful

Ted Bundy, Theodore Kaczynski, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy have something in common. They are all convicted serial killers. Since 1900, there have been 614 known serial killers in the United States. All have been convicted of at least three murders, however, they may be suspected of more (Fox, Levin & Quinet, 2012).

Gacy grew up in Chicago Illinois and was the middle child of three children. His relationship with his father was northing short of complicated in that his father was a raging alcoholic, abusive to his spouse and children and a constant antagonist throughout Gacy's more impressionable years. Gacy would constantly seek the approval of his father but no matter how hard he tried, he would come up short, which only added to his father's frustration. Much of this was due to the fact that as a child and teenager, Gacy was overweight, unathletic and somewhat feminine. His father would constantly administer verbal and physical abuse because in his eyes, these qualities were not that of a true man and were not up to his alpha male standards. These physical characteristics also caused Gacy to be the target of bullying at school and because of his lack of support from his father, the mental torment only dug deeper into his already fragile mental state which made him more socially awkward and insecure. The strained relationship that Gacy had with his father also caused Gacy to become closer to his mother and sisters which (in his father's eyes) only solidified the point further that John Wayne Gacy was a mentally weak “mommas boy” who could not live up to his standards. When Gacy

During the 1950’s to 1960’s racism was a major issue in the United States.

In history, there have been many amazing and horrible figures that have lead countries to positive and negative events. My favorite historical figure is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. because of his patience, persistence, and passion. He organized peaceful protests, pointed out unjust laws, and remained relentless in his cause. My least favorite historical figure is Adolf Hitler for his demanding, controlling, and judgemental personality. He had a horrible fixation with power, forced oppression on the Jewish community, and he oversaw autocratic policies that resulted in millions of deaths. Although there were many other figures that are deserving of being my favorite or least favorite, in my opinion
