Evaluation of the first suspect, is Walter Spencer. Walter Spencer is a hardworking African American slave. Spencer is the prime suspect within the investigation of Mollie’s murder. Walter Spencer could possibly be the killer because after he visited Dr. Stiner’s house he disappeared.

Throughout the story, O’Connor places emphasis on signs and the decisions that lay in front of both characters. The characters, Mr. Shiftlet and Mrs. Crater each struggle with which path to take. At their first encounter, Flannery points out how Mr. Shiftlet knowingly sheds doubt on his character by introducing himself with different names (439). While considering they had just met, he introduced himself in an absurd manner to Mrs. Crater. After all, the name Shiftlet portrays a negative light. Albert J. Griffith a known author of criticism echoes the image that Flannery portrays through her comparison of Shiftlet’s figure and a “crooked cross” (web). Granted this description allows the reader to envision Shiftlet as a twisted individual. Just the mere sound of his name reminds one of a shady person. While Mr. Shiftlet scopes out the property, he notices a rusty vehicle protruding from the shed. This provides him with an ample motive to stick around. A writer of criticism, Tom Deignan, affirms that Shiftlet’s goal is to acquire the automobile so he can travel like many other Americans of the time period (web). Naturally, it is understandable that Mr. Shiftlet yearns to feel like every other American. Despite the fact that Shiftlet had many jobs, some were more prestigious than the others. He boasts about his carpentry skills and

Bartle could not handle Murph’s mom seeing him in that condition while, disappointing her because he could not uphold his promise. Murph’s death forces Bartle to make the reckless decision of throwing Murph’s body into the nearby river; in that moment Bartle thought it be better for Murph’s mom to think he was missing in action than killed in action (Powers ). Trying to ease his guilt, Bartle wrote a letter to Murph’s mother as Murph, pretending that he is still alive so she can hear from her son one last time. However, this letter does the opposite of making him feel less guilty; it just adds more guilt to Bartle’s conscience. The letter was significant because Sterling and Bartle knew that it represented the death of Murph, but Bartle could not handle telling the truth. Choosing to throw the body in the river and to write the letter lead to Bartle continuing down his path of bad decision making. Guilt followed Bartle everywhere he went because he had purposely hid the truth from the world. However, the truth caught up with Bartle eventually. Bartle was question by Criminal Investigation Department, CID, about what happened to Murphy (Powers 148). Bartle goes to jail for throwing Murph’s body in the river instead of giving him the proper barrel and lying to the army about what happened to

Even though Corley essentially steals money from an innocent woman, this "action" is merely an expression of the fact that both he and Lenehan remain the same shallow creatures of habit they were at the beginning of the story.

The town had trouble understanding who would perform such a crime, and why they would do that to a family that represented everything that people respect. Everyone that surrounded the Clutters becomes a suspect including the unlikely Bobby Rupp. A thorough murder investigation takes place where the Police believed that robbery was the motive. As the townspeople continue their “Christian Duty” of cleaning up after the crime, Capote transitions to Perry’s journey the Mexico. Perry struggles with his role in the murder saying that “There’s got to be something wrong with somebody who’d do a thing like that” (p.131). He mentions that he still thinks of the killings, and is trying to distance himself from the crime. Dick’s thoughts, on the the other hand, don't change; he thinks of himself as a totally normal person. This chapter shows that Dick, Perry, and the town of Holcomb are all affected by the loss is the Holcomb family in different ways. Immediate effects of the murder were shown and the psychological trauma is experienced by several characters.

There is more than one element of crime present in this novel. The most prominent of that of Christopher’s death, no one in the town wants to talk about what happened to Christopher and those who do know don’t even know the whole story. Clem is attempting to solve the crime throughout most of the novel and although he believes he has an inkling of an idea he still has no hard evidence. There are also the crime(s) that Chambliss, the preacher, commits along with the murder of Christopher. Chambliss was the cause of Molly Jameson’s death as well, although he didn’t physically kill her he gave her the snake that was the cause of her death and then had her

Ironically, at Tom’s trial, Dill sobs when the Ewells succeed in the lies they tell to the jury. He later says, “It ain’t right, somehow it ain’t right to do ‘em (Black people) all that way”. This would be because Dill is from Mississippi and has not yet absorbed the racism and prejudice from Maycomb County. Therefore, this shows us that Dill’s lies are innocent ones that bring no form of harm to anyone else unlike Mayella Ewell, who’s lies frame Tom Robinson of rape. Dill also has his morals set right and is able to tell right from wrong.

Mollie: A mare who used to pull Mr.Jones's carriage. She loves wearing ribbons and people's attention after the rebellion she misses those things and runs away.

In the beginning of Unbroken, Hillenbrand introduced readers to Louis’s generosity and delinquent behavior. Growing up, Louis stole items from people and kept them. When it came to family members doing it also, Louis got caught the most: “‘Pete never got caught,’ said Sylvia, ‘Louis always got caught’” (8). Although not good at stealing at first, Louis learned the hard way what not to do. However, knowing he

Beneath Mr. Shiftlet’s and Mrs. Crater’s seemingly moral actions lies a layer of amorality. This was shown when they took advantage of Ms. Lucynell simply because she is deaf and mentally disabled. Mr. Shiftlet does this by marring Lucynell in an attempt to get Mrs. Crater’s car in the endgame.

In Susan Glaspell’s A Jury of Her Peers, she writes a clue seeking story of how the sheriff will find enough evidence to charge Minnie Wright of the murder of her husband John. The story starts off with Mr. Hale telling his story of how he went over to the Wright’s only to learn Mr. Wright was dead. The story then focuses on the two women Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, as they discover more and more evidence in the kitchen while they are gathering things to take to Minnie Wright in jail.

The ongoing debate of the topic “Nurture” is more important than “nature”, has been considered true many times throughout the world from books to real life scenarios and events, but what is our meaning of “nurture” and “nature”? The common aspect of “nurture” is where outside influences determine what we will be like society being an example, while “nature” is basically that genetics determine the outcome of how people turn out. There is an easy argument for the case of “nurture”, but just because of the argument being an easy case, is it really true? People acquire their personalities, opinions and beliefs through “nurture”, while they also inherit a much deeper meaning of quality through “nature”, being that, quality is the trait which it takes to commit murder, seek risk, or become an accountant. That is why the statement “nurture” is more important than “nature”is false.

After seeing Louisa for a couple of times she told him a few interesting things. For example, the fact that the murderer rode off on a green bike was true. She knew that the murderer was a man who was a member of the Grasshoppers’ cycling club. He also studied anatomy and had a strange kind of money bag made of human skin.
