A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office investigator on Tuesday outlined a motive for the Dec. 12 fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man along State Route 255 in Manila, saying three of the five suspects admitted to taking part in the shooting. The day after the shooting, Cesar Valenzuela-Campos, 23, admitted to riding in the car that pulled up behind Tyson Claros minutes before he was shot, investigator Todd Fulton said. Tamara Thompson, 18, allegedly admitted the crime to a jail-house informant and Brandon Mitchell allegedly told a family friend, who called the detective, he’d become remorseful over the killing. “He said that he knew that Catie had lied to him and that he basically killed somebody for no good reason, and he could spend the rest of
However, it is clear from the beginning that because he was so poorly prepared, he might not survive this trip. The next Chapter confirms this suspicion and Chris’ dead body was found. It is difficult for the readers to stay objective throughout the first Chapters because they do not know Chris well enough and they cannot empathize with his characteristics. They cannot understand his intentions, his dreams, or his character at this point of this story. Therefore, many people who read the Outside article reacted angrily because they did not get any inside perspective of Chris’ ideas at first.
Also, Routh was found to have intoxicated himself with marijuana and whiskey the night before the murders he committed. Routh was facing many mental illness problems as it seemed but the doctors and specialists who dealt with Routh could never find out how he got to be this way or what the cause of it was. The reason that Routh claimed to have murdered Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield, was that “If I didn't kill them, they were going to get me”. Some doctors say that it was a delusion by Routh but other doctors and specialists don't have any proof that this is true and that he lied about the delusion. Chris Kyle and Routh’s mother were talking in the parking lot outside of the school she works at and Kyle’s kids attend.
I think that Chris had a reason to go to Alaska even if it was only a thing that he wanted to do. The final thing that makes me disagree with Callerman’s argument is that he says that McCandless is crazy and I disagree because he was not crazy at all but I do agree because when he was stuck in the wild he was getting crazy because he was alone and he noticed that he couldn’t leave. These are the reasons why I disagree with Callerman’s argument that McCandless is arrogant, and that he had no reason to go to Alaska, and that Chris McCandless is
They were both from St. Louise Missouri. Both being minors, they thought that they would get away with the murder due to their young age. On a warm summer night, Christopher and Charles met at a local park at about two in the morning. They discussed there plan of action. They planned to tie the women up with duct tape, bring her back to the very park and push her down the hill into the river.
Because of his hidden record, they practically gave the most dangerous person of that time a green light to go kill. He was probably aware of the fact that the police had no way of knowing he was in their area, and that fact gave him the push he needed to start killing again. I mean, if I was a psychopathic
Even though Chris was the storyteller and could furnish the readers with points of interest of the present circumstances, he was a temperamental source. He was a character that would repudiate what he would state. For example, in the start of the story Chris tells his neighbor that she dropped some cash. This sort of activity in a flash demonstrates the readers he is a legit person. The story leads us to believe that he was enticed to keep the cash.
• It offers up the argument that standing up and speaking out brings triumph--both universally and personally. The juxtaposition of this solution both from an objective view and a subjective view transcends a simple "message" into a concrete argument. • To summarize, the film the Shawshank redemption fit’s the structure of a classical narrative story, because it consists of having introduction, development, and resolution stages throughout it. Furthermore, we are presented with the central characters goals, which in this films case is the desire to be free. As the story progressed, the development stage of the story revealed the protagonists obstacles to us, which appeared as the Warden Norton and being institutionalization.
Throughout this book we learn a lot about Chris and family which gives us a good idea as to why he did what he did. From the beginning Walt and Billie instilled in their children that you can do anything as long you’re successful. For example, the book states about Chris “ According to the moral absolutism that characterizes McCandless's beliefs, a challenge in which
Policemen and other first responders were tasked with handing out flyers informing the area where the individual’s lived of the situation, as well as investigating by talking to members of the community (“Watch American Murderer”). This also consisted of taking Chris in for questioning. During his multiple visits to the interrogation room, Chris was asked to take a polygraph test, where he was asked questions about his relationship with Shannan, as well as questions about the disappearance of his wife and kids (“Watch American Murderer”). Once the results of the test came back, it was evident that Chris had failed. He was then prompted to confess to his crimes, in which he was denied at first.
Secondly, Chris McCandless was not “just plain crazy”, he was a very complex individual who had faced a lot of hardship in his early years. “Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness. give me the truth” (Krakauer pg 117). Due to everything that Chris had been through, especially involving his parents and his fathers infidelity; he just wanted the truth and in his mind, the only way he could find it was out in the wild by himself. Chris may have been troubled and he definitely made decisions that were not smart in hindsight, but he always had a reason for his actions.
“The Scarlet Ibis”: Person vs Fate The definition of fate is ‘The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events.’ Fate is a fairly complicated idea. Could something really determine how our lives unfold? Perhaps there’s a higher power?
There were many people he met who tried to talk Chris out of it but since it was just him he never really listened. Shaun Callarman is just one of many people who agree with my ideas of who Chris really was. Shaun says, “I think that Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no common sense,
This was one of the reasons for Gordie wanting to find the body aswell as finding closure. Chris Chambers would much rather not be associated with his family as they are considered to be “lowlife Chambers”. He undertakes this journey to prove himself to the town. At the start of the journey Chris has a gun with him for protection. This demonstrates him taking responsibility and leadership which is a rite of passage.
This shows Christian doesn’t understand what Chris was going through in his home life which made him decide to go on his adventure. In the other essay that Ilgunas wrote he brought up a good point about how Christians’ facts are wrong as Chris did not commit suicide he simply was accidentally poisoned and starved to death. “Pete implies that McCandless’ decision to come to Alaska “unprepared” and “unskilled” was a suicidal act in itself.” (page 1). Both of these quotes bring up points about the misunderstanding of Chris and the real reasons that he originally left his family and how he ended up passing
