Personal Narrative Analysis: The First Episode Of Mindhunter

Mindhunter is an autobiography of John Douglas, an FBI agent. Douglas is renowned for his criminal profiling techniques that eventually led him to start the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) within the FBI. In the book, Douglas describes his childhood and how he eventually became part of the FBI. Throughout his past, he makes it very apparent that he developed the knack for profiling others at a young age and how it can be applied in various circumstances. When he eventually entered the FBI unit, he worked in a department that focused on criminal psychology. Since psychology is a softer science, the department was given little regard. Douglas initiated a huge progressive movement within the field by interviewing a variety of violent offenders such as Ed Kemper, Charles Manson, Richard Speck, and David Berkowitz. Through these interviews, he began to notice commonalities in their upbringing and other behavioral patterns that could be further organized into profiles. This sparked the beginning of understanding the phenomenon of serial killers and the implementation of criminal profiling, which is currently

CBS aired the television show “Criminal Minds” in 2005, involving a team of seven intelligent and unique individuals. It is running strong into its seventh season and continues to gain popularity from people of all ages. This elite group of individuals makes up the leading team of profilers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation Behavioral Analysis Unit. These men and women find themselves in violent and dangerous situations all the time in their career with the FBI. The drama immerses viewers into the world of crime and violence that most people do not experience. The job of these FBI agents is to profile criminals and figure out their next move so they can stop them from committing another crime to innocent people. This show not only

My previous year at North had both ups and downs, and I guess some “uglies”, which included making so many new friends to losing a financial literacy contest that my teammates and I had worked very hard on.

Any show that could distantly be linked to law or crime quickly became a fixture of my quiet Saturday nights and, unexpectedly, the necessary filter for my academic interests. Past the brooding alpha male leads, dramatizations, and flashes of action I noticed the real problems reflected on my screen. I traded in “ripped from the headlines” style episodes for actual headlines

The mind of serial killers, rapists, and criminal offenders have always been a science.  What could possibly change someone's mindset to want to commit such horrific crimes?  The show “Mindhunter” gives an in depth look on how two FBI agents take it upon themselves to dig deeper.  They want to know more, they want to know why.  However, is it possible to get too close to the truth?  “Mindhunter” creates scenes that will not only baffle your mind, but will also make you want more.  That’s what makes this show binge worthy.

Most people can relate to what they call “Friday Night Lights.” Whether you played, coached, cheered, or watched a high school football game, you know how exhilarating they can be. As a high school student you felt like the coolest kid ever wearing your jersey to school and getting asked a million questions about the upcoming game. The feel of football is so different from any other sport. You sit in a locker room blasting music getting pumped up. Once you run onto that field and see hundreds of people in your schools colors jumping up and down screamings there 's no better feeling.

In life, it always helps to feel included or to have something to relate to. Mine just so happened to be a television show. I’d like to think I identify most with the characters from “One Tree Hill”. In this show, it begins while the kids are in still high school, juniors actually. Later in the seasons it continues on with their life outside of school as adults. The choices the characters made throughout the series and the many challenges they faced began to relate to me in different ways. Not so much the trials they faced exactly but with the way the characters handled them in general. As cheesy as it sounds, this is why the show has so much meaning to me now.

I was so excited to see the world so I decided to come out a month earlier than expected. On March 9th Kaicee Jackson was finally able to see the world. I was name Kaicee because at the moment KC & Jojo was my father’s favorite band. I was born into African-American, and Mexican household, with an older sister already. Three years later I was lucky enough to become an older sister!

As technology grows, it has created a huge impact on the way we live our lives, even when we are talking about our learning.

“She ‘uz telling de widder all de bad things I did, and told de widder she was gwyne sell me bekase I didn’t work hard. Miss Watson alwuz tell the widder everything she didn’t like dat I did dat day. She said I ‘uz to slow doing my work and dat the money would be better than having me bekase I didn’t work hard, or do my work.”

Heels together, feet at a forty-five degree angle. Weight equally distributed between both legs," the commander stated with a confident tone in a respectable manner. "Chest is to be lifted and slightly arched so that your arms hang naturally along the seams of your trousers." I was quickly overwhelmed by the meticulous instructions as I attempted to follow. "Adjust your skull so that your head is aligned with your spine. At this position you will not move or speak unless directed otherwise." I could only reflect on the concept of standing completely still, so much as to forget what the leader had stated so clearly. But then I remembered that this challenge was what I had volunteered for, and l refocused on the task at hand. It was the first day of summer school, just before my senior year, at Massanutten Military Academy.

It's time to travel to the part of the world most conducive to long-term post apocalyptic survival and then start building the base of your dreams, but that leaves the big question, "Where are you going to go to escape the zombie hordes and live in your self sustaining utopia?" Let's stop and realistically think about the resources you'll need. First, major cities are definitely out, too many people. You're looking for a place with a low population density, that is to say, a low number of people crammed into every square kilometer of that city. You can already quickly eliminate the coastlines of most continents, including Australia, all of eastern Asia, most of the middle eastern India and everywhere in Europe. From there, we need to think about the

The year is 2040, and Sam, a young 14-year-old boy, was just like everyone else. He attended a public tech academy along with a couple thousand other kids his age. Every day was the same; same dull gray uniform with a blue stripe going down the back; same classes. English, New Age math, science, and tech theory. Every other student experienced the same classes day by day.

Ever since the day that my mother showed me numbers pasted on cards, I have loved math and regarded it as another language. I can remember how the numbers just seemed to work, and when I was introduced to other mathematical concepts, such as addition and subtraction, I felt like a covalent bond attached me to the language of numbers. Math has always interested me, however, not in the set-in-stone way that math is commonly presented. I like to mess around with the numbers, hopefully finding something new in the process. That is why when I see problems like two cubed multiplied by three squared, I do not write them out into their whole numbers and then multiply. Instead, I try to see different ways to approach such a problem, and I believe it is because of this that I now see math in a whole new light. To me, two cubed multiplied by three squared looks like six squared times two or six cubed times one third. Although they may look different on paper, both statements simplify to be seventy two. Sure, it may take me additional steps like, multiplication identity to reach the

I used to hear all the time when I was young that time flies and before you know it that you will be an adult. Of course, my young naive self, brushed this off and acted as if I was one of Peter Pan’s lost boys who will never grow up. I went through life and before I knew it I was a junior in high school, at first it seemed like just another year of high school but once I started attending all of these college fair events was when It had just begun to sink in that, maybe just maybe I was gradually transitioning into an adult. One of the first times it hit me that I was no longer a child was in March of 2015. Spring break at the Albany Academies, most kids spent this two week vacation in florida or the Caribbean, but me no I decided that I would visit colleges. But this time I didn’t have my mom and dad to hold my hands for me, I was essentially on my own. Not entirely because I had a very close family friend that was living in the Philadelphia area where there was a multitude of colleges that I was interested in. So I hopped on a train and was on my way to Philadelphia.
