Wayne Williams was charged with murdering two people in Atlanta, Georgia. Shockingly enough, he was also linked to the killing of ten other boys. The way the evidence effected this trial is what makes the case so well known. There were 28 different types of fibers linking Williams to the murder victims. That can be an overwhelming amount of evidence. This case happened in the 1980s and the evidence presented in the case was crucial to proving Williams guilt.

Stanley Tookie Williams III was born on December 29, 1953 in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the age of six he moved to South Central's West Side neighborhood in Los Angeles. He was known as a fighter and running the streets of South Central's Westside. He attended John C. Freemont High School but was expelled and never graduated.

Despite his understanding that he would spend the rest of his sentence in Sheridan, Chris Williams was moved to SeaTac Federal Prison in Washington. This is a higher security prison than the satellite camp. A man who’s only crime was growing a few plants, is now spending his days with violent criminals such as murderers and sex offenders. Many of his belongings were not allowed in SeaTac resulting in things getting shipped back home or thrown away. The process of being transferred between prisons is degrading on many levels.

Former rocker Zach Williams, who has now become a contemporary Christian artist, is sharing his newfound hope in Jesus after walking away from rock ‘n’ roll and drugs through his hit single “Chain Breaker.”

Plip Plop goes the pitter patter of the rain on the freshly cut grass on the sidewalk leading to the inside of the school. I walk slowly to my locker as my friends and I talk about the football game that was going to be playing after school. I open my locker and grab my books out of it. I shove my fat backpack and heavy jacket into it and run before the first bell rings. I plop my books onto the desk next to Samantha Miller, the most popular girl in school. She instantly starts talking. Especially first period. Social Studies is the worst to have in the morning. Getting up early in the morning, to come to school all groggy only to hear about a bunch of old dead people who apparently just couldn’t stop asking for freedom. Like STOP LIVING IN THE PAST.

I stood near the steps to our porch and watched as the organized chaos unfolded. The younger boys wrestled on the path and little girls giggled with excitement. Dan Sims was near the spit, basting a boar while the ladies of the village carried platters of casseroles and desserts to the long tables. Trade day was always a celebration.

"Ugh why do I have to go to a stupid fancy dinner" I complain to myself as I stand up in the tub and drain the water than turn on the shower and wash my body and hair. When I get out I dry my hair and curl it, then apply foundation to my face chest and shoulders to cover up all the buses that are still present, I guess wolf blood doesnt heal bruises as well as it heals scratches I think to myself, then lastly I go to my closet and pick out a mid thigh length flowy black dress that has black flowers on the top, black flats, and my moms

Although Summer was coming to a close, the smothering heat had yet to subside. As a result, Alfred Jones was spending his last few days of freedom, relaxing on top his cherry red Chevy truck, sipping cold bottles of soda and whistling old tunes. He kept going over a particular phrase mentioned to him again and again, that vacation always seemed to fly by, but these past weeks, every hour seemed to drag on until every day seemed meaningless. He brought the rim of the bottle to his mouth and surveyed Calamity look-out. Lush trees, cracked roads, obnoxiously coloured houses... Same old, same old. It drove Alfred insane, he was never able to stand the peacefulness of it all, everything in (think of town name later) was so... unimaginative. It

Joseph Williams and Lawrence McEnerney, in the third chapter of Writing in College, offer strategies for revising a paper, including suggestions regarding the point (or thesis), the organizational structure of the a paper, the evidence, and the attitude of the argument as a whole. The first step of the revision process “is intended to ensure that the beginning and end of your paper cohere with each other” (14). To accomplish this first step, Williams and McEnerney recommend isolating the point in the introduction and conclusion, and ensuring these sections communicate the same argument. Williams and McEnerney also suggest two different methods to communicate a point: point-first, in which the introduction contains a full statement of the argument

One afternoon, at Kint High School, the students in room 214 were itching for the bell to ring so they can go home. Mark Sanders, a skinny short haired boy, was waiting for something more interesting; Basketball tryouts. “Come on, Come on please let this day be over.” Whispered Mark. He purposely did this to make sure nobody heard him. “Why are you so anxious? It's not like you any good.” Hollered Sheila, the most annoying girl in the class. Mark shot a look at Shiela that would be fatal if looks could kill. Sheila laughed “You're always quiet, just wait until you need to talk during basketball.” “Mind your business, don't worry about me I don't need to talk loud to play ball.” “Shiela why you always gotta be so negative, and Mark you think you're so much better than everybody. You have to start speaking up.” Uttered Mark’s friend Johnny. “You know what-” Shiela tried to talk but the bell cut her off.

He smirks, like that was funny or something. Maybe he hates me too. Good, I hope so. He glares as if he is thinking about ending my life. That feeling is mutual.

It was less than a second, maybe half a second, but it changed everything. We were so excited! My best friend Summer and I were on our way to a Sam Hunt concert, who is our favorite singer. We were singing all his songs, when all of a sudden, we were in the biggest traffic jam I had ever seen on the interstate. I didn't think we were going to make it. When we came up to the next exit, we got off and it seemed like there was nobody there. It was so quiet. We pulled over to put the address in the GPS and we noticed there was a limo coming down the deserted road. It was going very slow. A couple seconds later, it pulled over right behind us.

Alistair Graves once owned a dog called Henry. It was a dull beast, sleepy in his youth, immobile upon entering his teens. He was a useless lump of shedding fur and for an animal that moved so little, he managed to get underfoot in an utterly maddening way. He was a mutt and when they discovered he had heartworms, there had been little discussion before it was decided it would be better to put him down. Alistair had taken the words carelessly; what difference did it make? He spent that night curled beside Henry, face buried in his fur, sobbing uncontrollably.

This is Richard Cory here I am new to this town. I am thirty-five years old and work long hours to make money so I can live comfortably. I used to live in New York City but it got way too expensive to live there especially since I got laid off from my high paying job on Wall street. I thought the best option for me was to pick up and start over in a new place. My job as a waiter rarely gives me any time off, but when I do have off I like to take a walk around town. I try my hardest to dress up to pare because I am still very new to this town with little friends so I believe appearance is key right now. I may look like I have money from my outfits but please don’t let looks be deceiving these are clothes my mother bought me before

Let me first being by saying punctuation logic and rules present challenges to writers because there seems to exist a disconnect between applying the rules without sacrificing style. Like you, my confidence lies in your student’s ability to grasp punctuation rules better if they understand the logic behind the rules. Please consider using the 12 editions of John Williams’s, “Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace” as a supplementary source when teaching your students about the philosophy and logic behind punctuation usage.
