Richard Ramirez was a California-based serial killer who operated from 1984 to 1985. He was born in El Paso, Texas, but eventually moved out to California. He was known as the “Night Stalker” because he would break into homes at night, raping and killing his victims. Ramirez got his start early, as he (unsurprisingly) had a rough childhood. His father was known to abuse him, and he spent some time in juvenile detention for petty crimes. He also sustained two major head injuries as a child, having a dresser fall on him and being knocked out by a swing at a park. However, he was heavily influenced by his cousin Mike, who was a Green Beret who had returned from the war in Vietnam. Mike told Richard graphic stories about the women he raped, tortured, and…
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime definitely depicts acts of betrayal. In this novel, the main character Christopher is betrayed by his father in two main ways that affects his life immensely. The first thing that Christopher’s father does is lie to him about killing Wellington the dog. The second thing that he does is lie to Christopher about the fact that his mother was actually alive. Without the acts of betrayal in the novel, it would be dry and boring.…
Jeffrey Dahmer was a very well known serial killer in Wisconsin. He is described as a ruthless, evil, cunning, and malicious anti-social being who may look like someone OK on the outside. He was seen as an inviting stranger - friendly and sympathetic - but in reality was the demon - Satan himself - who killed many people.…
He was troubled by his sexual attraction to his mother and of his feelings of lust and humiliation.

He began killing off prostitutes in earnest after the third divorce in 1982, subjecting some to bondage or necrophilia.…

This paper presents a case analysis of Richard Ramirez, the serial killer of the 1980s better known as “The Night Stalker”.

The circumstances that Richard Rodriguez dealt with all circled around the fact that his parents were not natives of the United States and everything that follows this. Richard Rodriguez came from a family where his parents had been born and raised in Mexico. After moving from there, they settled in America, and gave birth to him and his siblings. Being from a different culture causes a definite strain on the family trying to keep their culture while being immersed in another that's so different. This is an experience that I struggled with as well, because my parents were not born in this country and have a real distrust of it at times, so I could completely relate to the words within the narrative.…
I believe that Relationships are the connections between people which can be expressed in many different ways or situations. In the poem ‘manhunt’ by Simon Armitage he explores the relationship between a wife and her husband, whom is an injured solider who has returned from war. In nettles, the relationship is between a farther and his son who has fallen into a "bed of nettles." Both poets show the consideration felt by the reader of the poem for the other person in the relationship. In the manhunt, the narrator’s consideration is for the mental suffering which her husband is suffering. Similar to Manhunt; in ‘Nettles’ it is the father’s care for the injuries of his son which he feels was caused by the nettles.…

In the story “The Stranger” by Albert Camus, the belief that the themes of loss and retrieval are at the core of Mersault’s mythology, and that they illumine the notion of exile to which he returns so often is widely discussed. I however do not believe that either one of those themes has anything to do with the Mersault and the exile to which he returns to so often, rather I believe that Mersault’s own attitude is the reason for the exile he experiences in the story.…
All serial killers usually share one dark life experience with each other. This life experience happens during childhood and involves abuse and a poor upbringing. These life experiences correlate perfectly with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy, also known as “The Killer Clown”. These life experiences helped shape John Wane Gacy and other serial killers into the stuff of nightmares that still haunt people today. To learn about John Wayne Gacy we must look at his early life, crimes, and his sentence.…
