Tex aided Patricia. As he approached the two, Abigail released Patricia and cried out, “I give up, take me”. At that single moment of complete defeat, Tex stabbed Abigail with the blood stained knife that had struck her closest friends. As the blade pierced her flesh, she buckled down, grabbing her abdomen in excruciating pain as she collapsed to the floor. After stabbing Abigail, Tex went over to the couch where Susan was restraining Tate. He then, in an uncontrollable act, stabbed Sharon right in the heart. She slumped to the floor from the couch. The group of murderers made their way back to the front door and discovered Abigail had made her way outside in the lawn. Tex walked over to Abigail as she struggled across the lawn in an attempt to get away. He raised his knife and in an uncontrollable rage and stabbed Abigail until she was finally deceased. Not far from Abigail's body was the mutilated body of her partner dead Wojciech. His body was distant from his previous position which Tex had left
When everything seemed to be going well for the Wescott family, the author describes one of Katherine’s fit by saying, “Katherine was crying and moaning, her hands clutching her chest, and she was panting as though the Devil himself had chased her home” (GodBeer, 14) Although Abigail did not always believe she was telling the truth, and did not really trust her. Her and her husband, Daniel, wanted to get to the bottom of what was really wrong with Katherine. It was believed to be Daniel and Abigail’s moral obligation to take care of Katherine according to the church. Throughout the first chapter many of Kates fits happened, and there were countless witnesses, such as Ebenezer Bishop and other neighbors. Surprisingly as more attacks happened, Kate started calling out certain community members name and had stranger fits. These neighbors witness Kate scream, “Goody Clawson, turn head over heels…Now they’re going to kill me! They’re pinching me on my neck!” (GodBeer, 28) With many more attacks, and neighbors witnessing it firsthand the question of who was tormenting her became the

Abigail Day is an older member of the Willow Springs' community, sister to Miranda, and grandmother to Cocoa. Instead of embracing the pain Abigail experienced through out her life and turning it into something positive for herself and others, she tried to change the past, and that only left her with more pain. Abigail was the middle child of three sisters. When Peace her younger sister fell in a well, their father and mother became distant with each other and in the end her mother threw herself off a cliff because she could not deal with the pain. When talking about her mother Miranda says, “Mother hardly cooked at all. And later she didn’t eat much. Later she didn’t do nothing but sit in that rocker… Too much sorrow…much too much. And I was too young to give [her] peace. Even Abigail tried and failed”(243). When Abigail was younger her father carved wood and “Abigail, [tried] to form with flesh what her daddy couldn’t form from wood”(262).

Charles' marriage was only the beginning of his "family." Charlie tended to lure in young women, by saying he could "make them feel like they were on top of the world, like they were floating (Fillmer 3)." Manson used sleep deprivation, sex, food control, and drugs to gain complete control of his followers ("Charles"). The Family tended to ...
What could have made them do such a thing without pity or remorse? Read on. MANSON: The Man Himself. In 1954, Manson set up a commune-based cult, drawing in hippies.
There is a common saying something good comes out of everything. But how could this possibly apply to everything. Well if you can’t see it on the surface then you have to look deeper. Charles Manson, if you are familiar with the name then you may have felt instant hate, sorrow, or interest. This man may have changed history, he turned up soil that had never been tread, he sent a fear though thousands of people that paralyzed them until the case was closed. In this story I challenge you to look at it from a different perspective and try to see the good from the bad. Charles Milles Maddox also known as wild-eyed Manson had an occupation of murder and was the leader of a cult but he was also an inspiration to many young adults in the early 60’s.
She requests that Arden’s body be brought to her and, upon seeing him, she speaks to Arden and confesses to the murder, and expresses her guilt, wishing he were still alive, by saying “...And would my death save thine thou shouldst not die” (“Arden” 8). Though she previously conveyed how free she felt, the combination of the hand-towel and knife used to kill Arden, his innocent blood stains on the floor, and his distorted, unmoving body triggers Alice to feel an overwhelming and unbearable sense of guilt. Once this guilt comes upon her, she cannot stop herself from begging her dead husband for forgiveness, though he cannot offer it to her now. The guilt of her actions causes her to expose the people who helped her enact this heinous crime. Because Alice reveals the truth behind Arden’s murder, every character pays a penance for their
Social deviancy is the violation of social norms. A deviant is someone who rejects folkways and mores. Any action that violates the values or rules of a social group is deviant behavior. In order to actually be characterized as a deviant, the individual must be detected committing a deviant act and be stigmatized by society. A stigma is a mark of social disgrace, setting the deviant apart from the group. Criminality is healthy for society. Deviance affirms our cultural values and norms. Responding to deviance clarifies moral boundaries and brings people together. There will always be people who break society’s rules and that’s important.
After a while, Sierra found the forum to be filled more and more with wannabe murderers who just wanted something to jack off to. It was really a waste of her time and while still keeping the forum opened -- just minimized on the laptop -- she went back to searching the normal browser for some other articles that could help her write her paper. However, it didn't take long for her to hear a small bell dinging and curious to see if it was from the forum, Sierra pulled it back up. Her eyes scanned the name once more. It had been the one she made the remark to and he had taken no time in replying back. Reading his message back to her, Sierra felt herself come alive for a moment. She thought more on his words; how he had left the women in his wake.
Have you ever witness violence? Well, I have. I am going to tell you how violence affected my life, what are some causes of violence, and what I can do about violence.
Laughter filled my body as I fell back along the rough, hard concrete. Licking my last bit of ice cream, I looked over at my friend Katie laying next to me. The cobalt, calm Lake Okoboji was sitting at our feet, dancing to the rhythm of the wind. Our stomachs ached from a combination of all of the food we had consumed and the nonstop giggles from the entire evening. Pedestrians passing by were carefully stepping over us and probably thought we were insane. We didn’t care though, because we were having the time of our lives.
My blood ran cold as the sound grew louder. The fearsome thump grew more frequent, echoing through the hallway. It can’t be mum. It’s too early she only just left. The harrowing knocks kept coming as I sat on my couch glaring at the sight of my possible demise.
I got a call last night that our B.A.U was contacted. I went straight in. I hear Hotchner , “ Francis, white female, dark hair, 17 years of age.” Taking in every last word I hear Morgan in the background, “ She was on a camping trip with her family. They went to sleep and the next day she was gone.” Then, I hear JJ, “ The parents found a boat washed up on shore with her journal in it, but no sign of the girl.” “ In the journal was written …..I knocked first, in Francis’ own blood.”, I say.
It was a quiet late afternoon as I stepped out onto the front porch and felt the cool breeze of the fall wind; it was a perfect time of day to take a walk. Hurrying across the porch and down the steps I inserted my ear buds into my ears, pressed play on the music app, and tucked my phone into my sweatshirt front pocket. I listened to the voice of Adam Lambert singing ‘Time for Miracles’ as I strolled to the end of the driveway. Upon reaching it I took a right, which was my normal route whenever I went for a walk.
