Ed Gein
Have you ever heard the phrase he's a pschyco or you're a pschyco? I have and I never really paid it much attention until I heard about Edward Theodore Gein. He really put the meaning to pschyco!!

Edward Gein was born on August 27, 1906. His parents were Augusta and George Geid, he had an older brother named Henry. When Ed was two his parents bought a farm in Plainsfield Wisconsin. Augusta loved their new house and farm for the main reason that she isolated her whole family from everyone. When Ed and Henry were kids they weren't allowed to play with other children. Augusta told them that the other children were bad and they were better than them. When Ed was eight he began attending the Roche-a-Cri grade school, a tiny one-room building with a dozen students altogether. His school years weren't a paticularly happy time. He felt overwhelmingly alone, hopelessly cut off from his classmates. On a few occasions durung his childood he seemed to be coming close to making a real connection. But as soon as he would return home and tell his mother about his new friend she would immediately begin raising objections. She would often ask Ed if she was raising a fool.

After losing all of his family Ed became even more strange. He acted weird around males almost as bad as he did when he was around females. Females became frightened of Ed. Most say it was the way he looked at them almost like he undressing them with his eyes. But it was far much worse! Children told stories about Ed's house like how he had human skulls hanging up in his room and how they thought they saw Ed in the graveyard on a few occasions. Ed's house soon became known as The Butcherhouse. On November 17, 1957 Ed Gein went into town to the hardware store to buy antifreeze. Bernice Worden owned it and checked Ed out that day. She turns away to look out the window and Ed shoots her in the back of the head with a .22 caliber rifle. He then loads her body up in his truck and takes

The morning air was crisp, and a nimbus shadow veiled the town below. The trees were emerging from their wintry tombs, stretching their limbs in the breeze, awakening from their slumber. It was under this early vernal landscape that young Benjamin had vanished and that Mr. Cunningham had…

    Ed Gein was born in La Crosse County, Wisconsin on August 27, 1906, the second son of George Philip and Augusta Gein. Gein had an older brother, Henry Gein. Augusta despised her husband, and considered him a failure for being an alcoholic who was unable to keep a job. Augusta operated a small grocery store and used the proceeds from the sale of the grocery store in 1914 to purchase a farm on the outskirts of the small town of Plainfield, Wisconsin. Augusta relocated to the farm to prevent outsiders from influencing her sons. Ed only left the farm to attend school. Augusta preached to her boys about the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drinking, and the belief that all women (except herself) were naturally prostitutes and instruments of the devil. She reserved time every afternoon to read to them from the Bible, usually selecting graphic verses concerning death, murder, and divine retribution.…

    Education is not only a theme found in the fictional works of acclaimed author, Ernest J. Gaines, but also plays a major role in his real life. At a young age he would help out the older folks by writing letters for them. He taught himself to listen carefully to their stories, and learned to be creative with his writing. That was the genesis of his interest in both writing and the importance of education. Later, it was many hours spent at the library in California, reading everything he could get his hands on, which really inspired him to become a writer. Much like the age-old question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” one might wonder if Gaines’s education led to his writings as much as his writings had an influence on him as an educator. We know, as a child Gaines had received only a very basic education in South Louisiana plantation quarters. A lot of his education about life actually came from his beloved aunt, Augusteen, who was a double-amputee,…

    The information below is to help students focus on important topics of the chapter. This study guide does not replace reading the chapter or give you exact questions. Essentially, exam questions are taken directly from information within the chapter. Without reading and studying definitions, theorists, psychological terminology and perspectives, you will have a difficult time passing my exams. You will find the application questions particularly difficult if you do not understand concepts and have not prepared adequately. Every chapter has a lot of terms including italicized words to know. I do not cover terms necessarily in the study guide below because students are expected to know these.…
