Personal Narrative Essay: A Thousand Murder Shows

800 Words2 Pages

Since I was little my favorite thing to watch on TV would be murder shows that where based on true stories. I would stay up all night watching these shows. Most of my friends found it weird but I felt like this is something that keeps me from being naïve to this world we live in. I was thirteen around the time. So by now I had watch almost a thousand murder shows and I thought I had heard it all. Well I was wrong. This is a story I would never forget. I remember it because it was hard for me to believe that something so horrendous could not only be committed by someone young but to innocent people. Charlie was her name but her friends and family called her mickey because of her love for Mickey Mouse. It was the early 2000’s most teens He was filled with anger because Mickey didn’t want to be with him. So he decides to something unbelievable, unthinkable and unimaginable. He goes to her basement grabs the ax and heads back up stairs. Takes the ax and brutally murdered one by one, starting with Mickey then, her best friend to her mom next her little brother then her baby cousin. But this wasn’t the end of this blood trail. A few days go by and no one hears from the family so people got scared and asked Mickey’s father to stop by the house and check on them. So heads to the house and he walks in the house having no idea of what has taken place. He sees blood and his family laying there in it but before he could call the police he is also murdered. Once people got no one from the father they called the police, the police went to the house and walked in on one of the most grew sum heinous crimes scenes. There they found Josh, who openly admitted to these murders. He was tried as an adult and was given life in prison with no possibility of parole. This story will always stick in my mind, mostly because someone snapped over something so minuscule and innocent lives where token. This teaches a lesson of not only beware of the people I meet online but also you can never be too careful when it comes to trusting people around you and your family. Just to think someone so young can commit a crime so heinous. That’s terrifying. Many lesson can be learned from this and this

    Whether it is Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and person of the like, you may have a bad feeling about them due to their ill past. This is not due to an inner judgment of the person on your part, more than likely it is the media that has skewed your views of a serial killer. The news media is just playing their role in society and that is to inform people but they do so in a way that frightens people into coming back to view the media that they produce. The other types of media such as movies, television shows, radio stations, and books also portray serial killers as monsters to entertain people. Although it may be a great way to entertain and inform people, it is not the least bit true and gives serial killers a worse image by labeling them as monsters.

Most of the time people don’t really care if the person was stealing so they could feed their family or stealing so they can pay for medical bills, a crime is a crime. Although crime is unlawful there usually is an origin. Some argue that it comes from desperation, which are the usual ordinary crimes you hear on the news, others believe it comes from greed. Where does this constant state of despair come from, research points to poverty. It’s widely known that neighborhoods that struggle in poverty are more likely to be prone to crime. The greed aspect comes from people wanting to make a profit so they join organizations that revolve around crime, which would be organized crime.

    There are many factors and events that led to the development of the crime fiction novel of the 1920s. From as far back as July 4, 1776 America has been coined the land of opportunity—a free land for all people and all purposes. It was also a country full of immigrants seeking that same prosperity. The only problem was that this “American dream” didn’t come as quickly as most thought it would. This resulted in the growth of America’s gun culture which was already deeply imbedded in this country’s roots. Immigrants who felt that they were being denied the American dream were quick to speed up the process and take it at gun point. These types of instances led to the cowboys and outlaws of the Wild West. At this same time, America was in the midst of its golden industrial era. These two factors led to the establishment of the Private Police Force who provided protection against criminals, train robbers and even controlling workers in places like Chicago. PPFs such as the Pinkerton Agency were also reportedly providing military-like services to the government. At one point, the Pinkerton Agency employed more agents than the United States army. Unfortunately these agents were often just as ruthless and corrupt as the outlaws they were hired to arrest. They ultimately became the inspirations for the hard boiled detectives in America. The golden age of crime fiction came about shortly after World War I. The economic growth combined with the introduction of prohibition lead to the rise of the 1920s American gangster. These gangsters were often wealthy enough to “buy out” the police and present themselves as businessmen. They became more respected than the officials which eventually lead to individuals looking to private detectives for jus...

    Cop shows, or crime dramas, can be considered a genre in the sense that they are texts with recognisable elements, notably a police force as the central feature, which can be categorised. The genre of crime drama is approximately 60 years old, and is one of the most popular genres in American television history. Over that historical period, the crime drama has formed and developed a number of conventions, practices and discourses, which define the genre and audiences expectations of a crime drama. Genre crime shows are expected, in a sense, to be serial, formulaic, and repetitive in themes. (Sabin, Wilson, Speidel, Faucette, & Bethell, 2014, pg. 6 -8) In Foucauldian terms, this would be considered an episteme; “a body of knowledge and ways
