I come here to talk about how Mr. Pope killed an innocent man, for a ignorant reason. On a Monday of October 31, 2032, Mr. Pope sliced into pieces and shoved up under 3 wooden floor planks a 75 year old man because he did not like the way his eye looked. There was a complaint from Shelly Lawrence, the neighbor of the old man. The police came and beaten on the door until Mr. Pope came. This was about the time when Mr. Pope shoved the bloody sliced pieces of the man's body under the floor. He invited the officers in and they asked if the could search the house Mr. Pope told them that he is there for rent. However, Mr. Pope put the planks of wood back in the exact places the were. Therefore, it looked like nothing happened. So I am here to prove that Mr. Pope is sane. …show more content…
Pope being sane is at 12:00 o’clock every night for a week, Mr. Pope watched the man sleep. Poking his head through the door. He was planning out his every movement, planning out how he was going to kill the old, innocent, man. He quotes “And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it, oh so gently.”. That is when Mr. Pope watched the old man every night.
The night he went into the old man's room, being so careful because he knew what he was going to do and how he he was going to kill the old man. In his story he wrote he talked about how he already thought through how he was going to avoid the blood getting everywhere. As well as, the story states “But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely breathed, I held the lantern motionless.” at that time Mr. Pope was in his room when it was pitch black and he was trying to be as still as he could so the old man didn't notice him.
After he killed the old, innocent, man, he knew exactly what to do with the body and how to store it so it looked like nothing had happened. The story Quotes “I took up Three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the
One of his most prestigious and understandable mistakes was on a decapitated, headless body. Doctor Bass found a recently uncovered body in a shallow grave outside of an old antebellum home. After much debate and much study and looking and thinking of possible outcomes for many hours, Doctor Bass and local law enforcements solved the very elusive mystery. The news and the answers of the mystery case baffled and shocked everyone. It seems that the headless body was originally buried in the grave around two hundred years previous, during the time of the Civil War!
The narrator in “The Tell Tale Heart” says, “I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. I then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye -not even his- could have detected anything wrong”(“Tell…”3). He made sure he was very careful and precise to ensure that the moved planks would not be noticed. Hiding the body isn’t the only key to not getting caught though; you need to be mentally stable also. “I admit the deed! -tear up the planks! Here! Here!”(“Tell…”3). So it wasn’t that the body was detected by the police, but the narrator had given himself up for the murder he did. For some reason he kept hearing the old man’s heartbeat in his head, and then just couldn’t take it anymore, consequently, yelling out that he had murdered the old man. On the other hand, in “The Cask of Amontillado”, the main character, Montressor, says, “For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them[bones]” (Cask…”6). Unlike the narrator of Edgar’s other story, nobody had known about Montressor killing Fortunato. This shows that the narrator could’ve used better techniques while hiding the body like Montressor did, instead of putting it in a place where he would constantly be reminded. Edgar Allan Poe’s two very different stories were not only different, but had some
The doc says his skull was smashed all to pieces just like from a sledgehammer. That 's why it ought to be easy to find… Whoever done it, they 're not going to be carrying a thing like that around with them longer than they need...Personally, I think it 's right here on the premises. Probably right under our very noses...And in the other room, Mary Maloney began to giggle.” This is careless of her for not owning up to what she did and instead laughing at it.
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.
The body of the man was found largely unclothed and no items or objects were found alongside him. Though upon further inspection scientists when performing an autopsy found that the man stomach and intestines had been extremely well preserved. When analysing the stomach content they were able to decipher the man’s last meal and what his average diet consisted of. Scientists and archaeologists were able to conclude that the man’s last meal was most likely a form of porridge that was accompanied by over 50 different herbs, spices and grasses. Also among analysing the body it was noted that the man fingerprints were still able to be taken suggesting that he did not take part in any hard physical
With his “murder castle” complete and the World’s Fair being hosted in Chicago in 1893, Holmes had the idea to market his castle as a hotel. With all the visitors coming to Chicago, Holmes could lure more people into his castle to murder. For the next few years, he selected victims among his employees, lovers, and hotel guests to torture and murder. Some of his victims were locked in sound-proof rooms lined with gas lines that allowed him to asphyxiate them at any time. He would also lock some of his victims in a large vault next to his office, so he could listen as they screamed, panicked, and finally suffocated. After being murdered, the victim’s body would be sent down to the basement. The bodies were sometimes dissected, stripped of flesh,
On the first day that the police began their digging, they found two bodies. One of the bodies was buried under the garage. The other body was the one found in the crawl space. As the days passed, the body count grew higher. Some of the victims were found with their underwear still lodged deep in their throats. Other victims were buried so close together that police believed they
Going over old sketches and photographs of the body you would assume the old man was chopped up and killed. The only thing about that is that there were marks on the old
My daughter have called me multiple occasions in the last 13 years to let me know Jesus Rendon has been angry at her, he pushed and shoved her and he was enraged and out of control. Few years she called me and said he strangled her while she was sitting at the computer desk then I went to her house and I saw she had some red marks on her neck.
Pope as "my friend" and tells her that of she had seen what he saw;
In this poem, ‘The Man He Killed’, the poet Thomas Hardy explores a complex theme, which is war, using the simplest language. Throughout this essay I will be discussing the thoughts and opinions Hardy has on war.
It was his job. He was the who had to show no fear, to not let his bones rattle him to the core, to let his voice falter and crack in the middle of his job. To never waiver when death is in the air, creeping around, surrounding his body in the aura of it's presence. When the stench of the past lingers and even communicates with him, it was routine for him. After all, it was his job; although sometimes he felt it was too much for him, but he loved the adrenaline it induced. When it coursed through his veins, he felt alive; more alive than anything around him. In this case, it was true because as a paranormal investigator, a number of people did not see this profession as a true profession due to their unbelief in the paranormal, while the other
The storyteller goes to great lengths to conceal the murder. First, he dismembers the body, collecting the blood in the bathtub so that there would be no blood stains anywhere. He then buries the body parts under the planks on the floorboards in such a way that "no human eye--not even his--could have detected anything wrong." The storyteller says this
The first piece of evidence is when Poe writes, “It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! Would a madman have been so wise as this?” (Poe 3) The main idea of that quote is similar to another that is found in The Tell-Tale Heart. This is the part of the story where the narrator already murdered the old man and has dissembled the body and is hiding it. The narrator tells the audience, “If you still think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.” ( Poe 12) He was silent and cautious to make sure he did not arouse the old man and attempted to not alert the neighbors of his devious deed. He thought wisely, and usually madmen do not think wisely. Insane people do things very recklessly and thoughtlessly when making decisions have been involved. That idea leads this essay into the next
Between the age of twelve and seventeen there were a lot of applications for pope to study. During the process it weakened his health, and he developed tuberculosis of the spine which left him crippled and harmed his view of life in so many ways. Pope then thought of himself dying, but a friend Thomas Southcott, gave him advice about a famous physician named John Radcliffe, which he prescribed a diet and exercise. Under this treatment the boy recovered his strength and spirits. "He thought himself the better," Spence says,”
