Walter beat me to that question and the doctor responded with no. That was our main lead. The other two victims had been prostitutes, so without that clue the next target is no longer narrowed down. And also she only had a cut on her neck compared to the mutilated bodies of Nichols and Chapman. “There’s nothing else you can tell us?” I asked him desperately. “There was a witness of the murder,” Dr. Blackwell responded to us. He began flipping through his notes to find a name. “Louis Diemshutz, he was the person who reported the crime.” “Thank you,” I told him. We searched the sea of journalists where we finally found him being interviewed. He told us that he was looking out his window, ready to go to bed. Then he heard slurred words being …show more content…
We’ve had a widespread search for witnesses, and we’ve gotten good feedback. Most of those who claim to see him saw about the same thing. The description we have is a male, with a pale complexion, dark hair, a bushy mustache with the ends pointed and he was roughly 5’7”. All of the witnesses had also seen him wearing the same clothes: a trench coat, top hat, white shirt, and boots. Overall people say he had the “appearance of a Jew.” Although the incidents have died down, the process has never been faster. We’ve narrowed the search down to where we might find the culprit and soon. “Still working on the case?” asked Detective Dew coming into my office. “You don’t realize how close we are to solving this.” I told him. “Oh I understand, I was with you the whole time.” He responded taking a seat in the chair right across from my desk. I let out a chuckle. That was the first time I had laughed in weeks. As we were seated in my office, someone knocked on the door. “Come in,” I told whoever was knocking. “Hello, Frederick Abberline, I heard your you’re in charge of the Jack the Ripper case.”
He told me, “I have some bad news for you.” Walter and I were both at the edge of our seats. “My name’s John McCarthy. This morning, as I went around collecting rent from my building, I found Mary Jane Kelly,

He told me how she was in poverty, always behind rent. One detail I picked up was very important. He told me she even became a prostitute to make a little extra cash. John told me he saw glimpses of the body through a window when she wouldn’t open the door. From what he was telling me, it seemed pretty gory. She fit the description of the other victims. I told John thank you and left for the scene. As I arrived, I made my inspection of the scene. This was definitely the worst death yet. She was completely slaughtered, every inch of her skin was cut open and the sheets that she laid on were dyed red. The killing has to stop, Jack the Ripper must be unmasked. I sat down at my desk ready to end the case.
November 9, 1888 “Hello, Mr. Abberline?” Walter came into my office walking me up, “did you sleep here?” “That’s the only way this case will be solved. What’s that in your hands?” I asked him acknowledging the package in his hands. “Dr. Brown dropped this off this morning with caution. He informed us he received it from Jack the Ripper.” He set the box on my desk and opened it. He took out a jar and placed it in front of me. It was full of wine preserving an odd object inside. “What is in it?” I asked

The detective puts on a bewildered face and wonders what he is supposed to accomplish with the unsolvable papers. Little does the detective know he has a long road ahead of him on discovering the unsolved mystery of Lawrence Exeter Jr.
In the acclaimed novel, The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne uses juxtaposition, as well as parallel structure, to illustrate the negative effects of Puritan’s religious traditions, and the harmfully suppressive nature of Puritan culture as a whole.
His first victim, Mary Pratt, was found in just a t-shirt and a bra; her eyes had been carefully removed. Due to the bruising on her face, it is thought that Albright beat her before firing a .44 caliber shot into her brain. The second victim, Susan Peterson, was found a month later in the same spot where Pratt had been found and her eyes also surgically removed. The final victim, Shirley Williams, altered Albright’s routines of the first two murders. Wilson was assaulted more severely than the other victims, a condom found by her body, and her eyes violently slashed out of their sockets.
Her body had been bathed and thoroughly washed before being placed, it was also completely drained of blood [2]. Two detectives were assigned to the case: Harry Hanson and Finis Brown. When they and the police arrived at the crime scene, it was already swarming with people, gawkers and reporters. The entire situation was out of hand and crowded, everyone trampling all over in hopes of good evidence. One thing they did report finding was a nearby cement block with watery blood on it, tire tracks and a heel print on the ground.
"To be fully human is to balance the heart, the mind, and the spirit.'; One could suggest the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, that one should not violate the sanctity of the human heart. Hester was well ahead of her time, and believed that love was more important than living in a lie. Dimmesdale’s theology and his inclinations render him almost incapable of action; Chillingsworth dammed himself, along with Dimmesdale. Hester was “frank with [Chillingsworth].';
4. The Scarlet Letter was written and published in 1850. The novel was a product of the Transcendentalist and Romantic period.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross once said, “Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.” This quote truly captures Dimmesdale’s death and journey to death, it is guilt that drives him to the grave and it accompanies him throughout all five grieving stages. Dimmesdale is one of many characters in The Scarlet Letter that is faced with problems both personally and spiritually. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a romantic novel about a young woman, Hester Prynne, who is permanently marked with her sin by a scarlet A she must bare on her chest and also by her daughter Pearl. Hester committed adultery with the young minister of Boston, Arthur Dimmesdale. Hester, and her beloved child Pearl, learn to over come the A and change the meaning of it from adulterer to able, while they are changing the way society views them, Dimmesdale is withering away under the “care” of Rodger Chillingworth, Hester’s past husband. Chillingworth knows about the sin and seeks revenge on Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale is helpless and in a downward spiral. He let the sin become who he is, even though the towns people don’t know of his adultery until his dying breath. The Scarlet Letter is a story about overcoming the darkness that hangs above you and stepping out of the sin or gloom that controls you. For characters like Hester this is a fairly easy thing to handle, but on the flip side characters like Dimmesdale struggle and can not seem to escape their heinous acts and don’t find peace of mind until they die. The Scarlet Letter mainly focuses on the process of overcoming these troubling times and how each individual character handles the pressure, stress, and guilt that come along with it differently. Arthur Dimmesdale is a lost soul after his sin, he expe...
The first chapter sets the scene for the novel: Boston, during the seventeenth century. During this period, religion is the foundation for both the laws and the society. We are introduced to the town's cemetery and nearby prison. Next to the prison grows a wild rosebush. We can think of the wild rosebush as representing the beauty of nature, and the prison as the symbol of societies need to tame nature.

A person can change for better or worse and Nathaniel Hawthorne shows this thru the character development of Hester, Chillingworth, and Dimmesdale in The Scarlet Letter.
This morning October 8th 1965 at about 5:13 am the body of Bob Sheldon was found lying next to the park fountain he was seen to be in a pool of blood. His body had a single stab wound in his back which had pierced his heart, killing him instantly. Supposed eye witnesses say that a small boy who was a member of the "Greaser Gang" attacked and killed Bob and intended to kill the rest of them. Cherry Valance claims that she was walking with Johnny and Ponyboy after the movies when Bob approached them in his car and threatened the two them. Be on the lookout for the two boys with the description of one that has long light-brown hair, green eyes, and is about five feet tall and another has long jet-black hair, large black eyes, and is about four feet six inches.

They said, the murderer was a 16 year old boy named Johnny Cade.
"In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvelous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it (84)." What is found evident in this quote concerning Hester Prynne, Hawthorne’s main protagonist, in The Scarlet Letter is that while she suffers so on the opening scaffold scene, it is but human nature to bless the individual with a defense system tool which is both peculiar and compassionate. In Hester’s moment of deep heartbreak, her defenses stopped her from realizing how much she hurt at that moment. It is only afterward that she will be forced to deal with it. The scaffold scenes in the novel, The Scarlet Letter, penned by Nathaniel Hawthorne make the book symbolically what it is. Hawthorne’s characters symbolically transform the scaffold from beginning to the end of the novel. Next, the three scaffold scenes physically deteriorate with an underlying symbolic resonance. Finally the symbolic use of the scaffold throughout The Scarlet Letter leaves a lasting impression on its readers. The scaffold gives the reader a deeper sense of plot development and what the characters’ emotional evolution is. One can see this after finishing the novel and looking back at the three scaffold scenes.
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is one of the most respected and admired novels of all time. Often criticized for lacking substance and using more elaborate camera work, freely adapted films usually do not follow the original plot line. Following this cliché, Roland Joffe’s version of The Scarlet Letter received an overwhelmingly negative reception. Unrealistic plots and actions are added to the films for added drama; for example, Hester is about to be killed up on the scaffold, when Algonquin members arrive and rescue her. After close analysis, it becomes evident of the amount of work that is put into each, but one must ask, why has the director adapted their own style of depicting the story? How has the story of Hester Prynne been modified? Regarding works, major differences and similarities between the characterization, visual imagery, symbolism, narration and plot, shows how free adaptation is the correct term used.
There are two witnesses of the crime. At the junction of the robbery Mavis came to the post office to send a parcel, once she has seen the crime she fainted and collapsed in the doorway. Charlie after seen Mavis made the second shoot in the crime scene to the window. When Bert was trying to drag Mavis aside he cuts his hand on some of the glass on the floor. Johne saw the incident and tried to stop them and Ali hit John on the head with the butt of the gun and fired in his leg. Wilfred a retired soldier saw perpetrators during the perpetrators were changing cars and informed to the police.
Hester Pyrnne is a Puritan woman that thinks that her husband is dead or lost at sea. She has a love affair with Dimmesdale that no one knows about but themselves. Hester is ridiculed for it because she has a baby resulting from it, however nothing is done to Dimmesdale by his fellow Puritans because no one knows that he took part in the affair and is the baby’s father. The Puritans show their disapproval of Hester by doing a variety of things like spreading rumors, outcasting her, and even sewing a scarlet letter “A'; to her bosom. So is what being done here right? How about other Puritan views and attitudes? Are they right as well? Well, it is clear that Hawthorne doesn’t think so, and he shows this in so many ways and symbols that it is at some times hard to unfold. He clearly states in his writing that the Puritans are sinners themselves in the way they act because they are stubborn and believe that their way is the only way.
