Research Paper After moving from Ashland, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio, the Maddox family lived a better life financially than most during their time period. Manson’s grandfather, Charlie Milles Maddox, worked for a railroad company who paid him a considerable amount of money until his untimely death in October 1931, but after his death, his wife, Nancy Maddox, and his children received a sixty dollar stipend from the railroad company (Guinn 10). Two years after the death of Charlie Maddox, Nancy Maddox was struck with tragedy again when her eldest daughter fell ill and died of pneumonia in 1933 (Guinn 11). Despite of all the losses she was faced with, Nancy heavily believed in God and the

Nancy told Kathleen, “To remain in her home, Kathleen had to set aside her sinful ways and live according to biblical strictures (Guinn 16).’ Kathleen wanted out of the predicament as soon as possible, so she decided she would marry William Manson to escape her mother’s overbearing grip (Guinn 16). On November 12, 1934, Kathleen gave birth to Charles Milles Manson at Cincinnati General Hospital (Heffron n. pag.). After the birth of her son, Kathleen was a less than ideal mother to her baby. She would stay out late at night in bars to meet different men and would leave her baby with unfit babysitters take him to his grandmother’s house, but on occasion, Kathleen would have to take Manson to the bars. According to Jack Heffron, author of “Family Ties” from the online magazine Cincinnati Magazine, “Charles Manson’s mother traded him to a bartender, presumably in Cincinnati for a pitcher of beer,” (Heffron n. pag.). Kathleen was obviously in an unfit state to be raising a child. When Kathleen was not in the bars, she spent her nights on the street as a prostitute to earn money and would end up in jail for the crime; in return, Manson would be sent from foster homes to distant relatives to all boy institutions (Rothman n. pag.). Eventually, William Manson became fed up with his wife’s behavior and was granted a divorce just two and a half years after being married. The court decided he was not

Linda Vaughan divorced Harry when Susan turned 7, and five weeks later Harry committed suicide at 37 (Montaldo).

Linda and the children moved from their home into Bev’s, a larger house located in an exclusive subdivision in Union, South Carolina. Susan grew to be a well-liked teenager, and even became president of her Junior Civitan Club and Friendliest Female in her senior year (Montaldo). Everyone liked her, and she put on a great show at school. But after the last bell rang, she had to look forward to seeing Bev at home, something she feared above anything else. Bev had taken to molesting Susan when she turned sixteen, and it was not long afterward that she sought help with the local Department of Social Services (Wiki). The Department of Social services did little to help Susan, only making Bev attend a few counseling sessions (Wiki). When he returned home, he chastised Susan heavily for “airing their dirty laundry in public” and continued with the molestation (Montaldo). I believe thi...

Among the large array of sex symbols that our country has been introduced to, Marilyn Monroe has remained as the most prominent provocative figure of the twentieth century. Born Norma Jean, the aspiring movie star, singer and actress lead an evasive life, one which author Fred Lawrence Guiles demystifies in his biography Legend: The Life and Death of Marilyn Monroe. The author takes his audience through the struggles and successes that Monroe faced, beginning with her early years and up until her final years filled with havoc, and ultimately death. Guiles especially depicts Marilyn’s dependence on others, as well as her inability to be alone throughout her life and as she reaches the height of her fame during the 1950’s and 60’s. Although flawed, this portrayal offers insight into the life of a very troubled yet unique woman.
