The Blind Assassin is a story about reflecting on the past. Iris Chase-Griffen, an elderly widow, lives in a modest home in southern Canada. As she lives out the final days of her life at her house, Iris handwrites a personal memoir depicting the haunting events of her past as the wife of a distinguished politician and businessman in the early 1900s. Iris was pressured by her father to marry the wealthy Richard Griffen after the Great Depression devastated her family’s business. Soon after Iris weds, her father dies, leaving Iris and her younger sister Laura to the luxurious tyranny of life with Richard. Iris engages in an affair with Alex Thomas, a unionist on the run and friend of the sisters, to escape from what became a restrictive, abusive marriage to Richard, but Richard sends Laura off to a mental institution after she rebels against him, and Alex dies in World War II. After the war ends Iris reveals her affair and Alex’s death to Laura, who apparently had feelings for him as well, prompting Laura to commit suicide. Later, Iris learns that Richard had been raping Laura during most of her marriage, which Laura silently endured to keep Richard from turning Alex in like he threatened. Ever since, Iris has kept the truth about her marriage and her culpability in her sister’s death secret. Iris reveals in her narrative the truth that had been hidden from the public for so long, struggling with her repressed guilt and painful memories to find some sort of reconciliation.

Families are one of the most important things in life. We have parents, kids, crazy uncles, and weird cousins, but that doesn’t change how it would feel to lose one of them. In the short story Killings, Richard Strout kills Frank Fowler and then suddenly disappears. Matt Fowler, Frank’s father, is suspected of murdering Richard and hiding all the evidence. After losing his son, Matt and his family grieved over the loss of their loved one wanted to see Richard Strout where he belonged, or at least out of sight. Although the story doesn’t reveal what happens to Matt Fowler after Richard Strout is dead, all the evidence, Matt’s PGD, his thirst for revenge, and how he believes the system has failed him when Richard was able to walk free, makes him guilty of killing Richard Strout.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s Europe was becoming a tinder box for a possible great war. Every country was extremely determined on spreading their empires. Additionally they began to form alliances, France with England and Germany with Austria-Hungry. Then on June 28th 1914 a Bosnian-Serb nationalist assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife practically igniting Europe and the world into a massive war. This assassination was viewed as an act of war and Russia came in to assist their ally Serbia. Germany naturally had to declare war on Russia to help Austria-Hungry. France and England then joined in to assist Russia.

Assassinations and targeted killings have been topics vastly debated around the world throughout history. As a matter of fact, this matter can be discussed through the eyes of Michael Walzer from a just war theory perspective. This viewpoint can be used in order to explain just assassinations of political and military leaders as well as other individuals. For example, a person can be the victim of targeted killings if their death would result in less future violence or warfare. However, the individual must pose an imminent threat, capture is not feasible, and the operation is executed in observance of the applicable laws of war. Yet the burden of proof and responsibility resides with those in highest power since it is their duty to maintain order among everyone below them. As a result, only those in power can decide who is assassinated and for what reason. All arguments against this belief can be annihilated by the fact that targeted killing will lower the chances of further combatant and civilian casualties. Ultimately, just assassination or targeted killing are blameless if the outcome will create less vehemence.

Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding demonstrates the idea that our world today is still full of corrupt people that break our world apart from the good. The article, “Iowa Police Take Suspect in ‘Ambush-Style’ Killings of Two Officers into Custody” explains to us how evil our world still is to this day, with a man killing two police officers because they wouldn’t let him make fun of a race that doesn’t deserve to be made fun of. Just like Jack does to Piggy and Ralph when Jack calls Piggy a “Fatty” and he tells everyone that Ralph isn’t fit to be chief. Articles like this prove that when Golding wrote his novel he was thinking about how evil and how dangerous people truly are when put in certain situations that provoke one's actions.

The Assassins are a Shiite-Ismailite sect that used to spread fear and panic in the Near and Middle East for more than one century. They did carry out political murders with as much publicity as possible and therefore they are compared with terrorists. But there's one big difference - they never carried out their murders indiscriminately,but rather always selectively. Today, we can hear the term modern-day Assassins and that's the reason for making this historical review trying to find resemblance between the assassins and the terrorists.

African Americans and many other races (mostly African Americans) are having their organs stolen from them. On other sites, they call it a conspiracy; I’m here to say, that it in fact is not a conspiracy. Evil European people are setting up fake murders to then steal the organs of innocent African Americans. From this one video I was watching, Drumar Johnson said that as an African American NO ONE should have listed on their state ID that they are an organ donor. He believes, and I think the same thing that by doing so, you set yourself up as a target. Kendrick Johnson, just to name one, was found dead in a gym mat in his school. When his family did a second autopsy, they discovered that all his organs were taken out his body and his body

One of the first means of profiling a mass murderer is by their type. Mass murders can range anywhere in the organized or unorganized type. Typically, an organized mass murderer carefully plans out much of the crime he is about to commit. A disciple killer is an example of an organized mass murderer. They are usually followers of a charismatic leader, who influences them into killing any victim he directs them to. One disciple killer case would be that of Leslie Van Houton, a 16 year old girl who was persuaded by Charles Manson to murder for him. Another type of organized mass murderer would be known as the pseudo commando. This type of mass murderer stockpiles exotic weapons in their home and often wears battle fatigues. Pseudo commandos

The comparison between me or any other creature of the animal kingdom in reference to me as a student would have to be like that of the reduviidae otherwise referred to as the “assassin bug”. It 's consistent thirst for a meal is but a mere reflection of my thirst for knowledge. The means of attack as to which it deploys are quick as well as painless which falls into the nature as to how I accomplish my goals. If by chance a student falls behind or needs aid I will also help them just as assassin bugs sometimes hunt in a form of group or pack for their prey. For as many means the reduviidae has become an effective in it 's means to survive; I have had to adjust my means of furthering my education.
