Mysterious Circumstances

They were both working on the case because one of the murders had been committed in the area where the City Police operated, as opposed to the other ones which occurred in the Metropolitan police forces area. The Detective methods were not

Both authors of, “In Cold Blood” and Season one of “Serial”, Truman Capote and Sarah Koenig, present true murder cases. However while both are murder cases the way they present their research is different. These two authors’ have some similarities for example they way the approached the murder and how close they became with the people in the murders. Therefore both Truman Capote and Sarah Koenig have similarities and differences in their stories.

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

This video made a lot of sense to me because not having a job can stress out you all types of ways. If a person has no source of income, no provide food, have shelter, and pay bills this causes stress. The health disparities in this video are from the employees being laid off, more ER visit was made from the stress which causes chronic diseases to form. The employees had to watch their expenses and buy cheaper food or find another way to work but for lower income. What is the job status of all employees that got laid off? Did the employees find other work? Did they have to settle for a lower income job? Some of their programs consist of employment fairs now, the unemployment checks, and in the video if they were going to school they received more money.

There are several types of mystery stories, one in particular, is known as hard-boiled mysteries. This specific genera was originated in the 1940s, they were created to veer away from the typical mysteries that dominated this era. This particular mystery genera is quite different from another mystery story, especially when it comes to the characters in the story. Within the hard-boiled mystery genera, there are several different articles and stories. Some of these include, “Red Wind”, “Three Dot Po”, “Film Noir and the Hard-Boiled Detective Hero”, other articles come from “detnovel.com.” Furthermore, within these articles and stories there are several ideas and themes discussed and introduced. However, there is one idea present in all,

After her bedridden husband died, Holmes murdered her and disposed of her body. Mrs. Holton was one of Holmes’ many victims and her tragic story has added another perspective to the issue of homicide. After this book was published, the many that read it became more aware of the cruelty of homicide as it is discussed in the book. The different perspectives included allow people to comprehend the history of Chicago and realize that anyone can encounter this type of situation. With this understanding, the audience is able to further realize how sadistic homicide is and that one must be careful when interacting with strangers. This publication was recognized by thousands and acted as an aid to spread awareness of the matter because many people discussed the content.

“They tend to share certain key characteristics. They're manipulative, cold, and lack what we might call a moral compass--they know right from wrong but are not invested in that distinction. Their only concern with their ‘wrong’ behavior is getting caught, but because they are deceitful, callous and not subject to anxiety, they easily elude capture” (Spikol, 5). These sort of criminals were ones that the Chicago Police Department had never been introduced to before, causing them to change their entire perspective on cases once Holmes’ had passed. According to John Bartlow Martin, a writer for the “Harper’s Archive”, Holmes’ murder castle was filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, secret passageways, and even pits of acid used to get rid of bodies and other pieces of evidence. These were all things that the law enforcers had never even heard of in a story, much less seen or thought of in real life. It’s safe to say that Holmes drastically affected the police’s outlook on the cases in the near, and even far, future of criminals after his mystery; or at least part of his mystery had been

In “The Dying Detective,” it explained that Sherlock Holmes was literally dying from the prick of poison. To add, it explained that Mr. Culverton Smith was an expert on the poison that was injected into the ivory box; later we learned that Mr. Culverton Smith was indeed the one who injected it into the box in the first place. In “An Invitation to a Murder,” the crossbones on the prescription medication was believed to be a symbol of poison. Additionally, all of the supplies on the center of the table were items that would typically kill a person; yet, none of those belongings killed Mr. Abbott. Furthermore, both stories were premeditated murders. Mrs. Abbott knew that the twelve intelligent inspectors would prevent her from giving her husband the suspicious medication. Therefore, Mr. Abbott’s heart would stop beating and he would eventually die. On the other hand, Sherlock Holmes planned out every detail of the situation and what would happen. He knew that Dr. Watson would be concerned about Mr. Culverton Smith arriving and would like to stay. This created a witness for Mr. Culverton Smith confessing the crime he committed. Lastly, both of the passages had evidence that exemplified situational irony. Mrs. Abbott was dressed in black to grieve the death of herself and her disabled husband. Moreover, the investigators that were going to witness the murder, became the murderers. In the other story,

The main purpose of this asticle is remarked the interpretation of historians and conclude with what we know as the history of slavery. American slavery began in 1619, with the “twenty Negars” (African Americans), therefore the “Atlantic trade” was developed. By 1860, U.S had the biggest slave population in the New World, with 4 million slaves, but in 1863 the end of slavey made a remarkable impact on the history of slavery, causing the “Revolutionary Era”; the civil war and slave socierty.

Mystery. It is like a jigsaw puzzle, despite their differences and sizes, if you rotate the pieces in different ways and never stop trying until the end, eventually they will fit. On July 28, 1841, the dead body of Mary Cecilia Rogers was found lifeless and her death was enough to be marked in the historical records of New York City. Many newspapers and books were made, talking about the mysterious disappearance and death of Mary Rogers. One of the most popular books written about Mary was called “The Mystery of Marie Roget” by Edgar Allan Poe. The idea of solving a crime through writing intrigued Poe, but did not last long, for Poe had difficulties connecting the dots. Even though multiple theories were made by the media and the people of New York City, her death remains unsolved and is recognized as one of the most famous mysterious homicides. However, the death of Mary Rogers can be summed up in two theories: rape, and failed surgical abortion.

Before many writers even thought of writing detective novels the Chinese were known for creating these works of literature explaining the cases of important magistrates. One of the most famed or popular of these judges was judge Dee. Judge Dee lived in the seventeenth century AD. This book was written during the eighteenth century by a person well versed in Chinese legal code. In this story there are three crimes that get solved. The three cases that get solved are the case of the strange corpse, the case of the double murder at dawn, and the case of the poisoned bride. When reading this story the double murder was the simplest to grasp, an argument that arose between two traveling silk merchants that quickly turns into a fight ultimately leading

Despite many Western countries having strong law systems and firm roots in Christianity, it might seem peculiar to think they also are obsessed with murder. From Nancy Drew to the TV shows Murder, She Wrote and How to Get Away With Murder, murder and crime investigation have become bestsellers in Western societies. There is just something intriguing about a good “whodunnit” crime, a good mystery that cannot be solved or explained, regardless of how many people and years have been spent speculating on it. In England, one of the most popular unexplained homicide cases is none other than the infamous 1888 murders of Jack the Ripper. While the killer was never found and convicted of the murders, several conspiracy theories have emerged over the years concerning Jack the Ripper’s identity and the motive behind the gruesome slayings.

The essay’s introductory sentence begins with a broad question; it is successful in introducing the theme of mystery stories and intriguing the reader to continue. It is unnecessary to give examples of literature from other authors. Rather, the introduction should contain information specifically about Agatha Christie. However, the ideas

“The dying detective” was written by Arthur Conan Doyle; additionally dramatized by Michael and Mollie Hardwick. Sherlock Holmes faked his demise, as well as prohibited Dr. Watson’s medical support. This statement is proven factual in the short story. Sherlock Holmes simulated his death; furthermore, he did this for the reason of framing Mr. Culverton Smith. Holmes wanted Smith to admit that he was the cause of his cousin’s, Victor Savage, death. Moreover, Sherlock Holmes had the fellow characters believe he was dying, moving along the plan Shel rock Holmes had. Sherlock Holmes desired Watson to be certain of Holmes dying; therefore Watson would tell Mr. Smith to come to Holmes’s some, which is what Sherlock Holmes needed. Holmes disallowed health maintenance from Dr. Watson since Sherlock Holmes knew that Watson would be “deceived by a dying man with no rise
