Personal Narrative: Terry's Murder
I wish as we grew older I could have done more for Pam, after all she did nice things out of the blue for us now and then. Age eleven she sent me a watch on my birthday through the mail. Our relationship was not always kind to each other, she had a way with making you feel worthless as our father did to us. Of course, we totally know how that developed, I believe that is how her murder came about, she had a way with language that could slice right through your soul or I should say, what is left of one’s psyche. Terry’s past I am sure was not kind, with the loss of his mother and a family that should have never accepted him, and he may have been alive

As the ball is coming down, closer to the hoop another individual comes into play. The name is unnecessary to know, but the man is key to Jeff’s story. The man jumps.

    People become serial killers for a reason. The expression “Serial Killers” first presumably originated in 1970 by late FBI Agent Robert Ressler. Before this time society categorized them with Mass Murders. Agent Ressler was lecturing at a college when he heard someone describe the killing as having an unending ‘serial’ cycle. Going back to his childhood, he remembered the movie industry titled “Serial Adventures” which showed short films of Batman and other heroes. None of the shows that were played came to a gratifying close. It always left you wanting more. Ressler came to the conclusion that there should be two separate category’s for mass murders, a single killing of many people at one location, and serial homicide, multiple killings that…

    One of the most famous questions of all time asks, “Why do serial killers, kill?” Everyone is different in their own way, so no one can really answer that question specifically. Dr. Helen Morrison, author of “My Life Among The Serial Killers” interviewed ten famous serial killers to try to answer this question. She found that almost all of them had similar characteristics besides killing.

Other characteristics include fluent lying, the lacking ability to comprehend that they did anything wrong, and no memory of the murders however when they do remember they show no mercy.…

    “Click clack click clack.” my footsteps echoed throughout the dark damp jail cell. I stood against the wall and slid down. I heard muffled sounds of car engines and talking. My breath stopped. A line of cars came rumbling down the road, one after another. My heart started pounding. Beads of sweat started rolling down my forehead. I sat there silently all alone in a dark cell wanting to end my life in that moment. They were coming for me. I said it over and over. There was no hope. In the next moments I would be punished for a crime I had not committed. Those white men were going to kill me.…

    In sixth grade I was suspended for fighting with another student, and this is what sparked a period of personal growth for me. After being suspended my parents and counselors really cracked down on my behavior and actions toward others. Before I had been suspended I was often picking on students and sometimes even attacking them both physically and verbally. Back then I did not have many friends that I was close with and would hang out with, but now I have a bunch of friends I would talk with daily and would hang out with outside of school. I regret how I had acted before I had been suspended.…
