I have reason to believe that Dr. Gorge Hodel is the murderer behind the brutality of Elizabeth Short’s body.
They say she lived a long life in obscurity, but I believe the real reason and most accurate reason is Amelia Earhart ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean and died of impact. This reason sounds the most accurate because they never found any body remains. She was flying across some of the deepest and longest parts of the ocean, which can lead to them not finding any plane remains or body remains. They also can’t say she landed on a island because when they found remains they were of an man. Amelia Earhart

A short story by Luisa Valenzuela “All About Suicide” is a story that will leave you guessing, wondering what will happen next. You will think to yourself did I read that correctly? Even though Luisa Valenzuela clearly is trying confuse people I believe there is one clear conclusion, looking at all the details in the story I believe what happened was a homicide. Ismael killed the minster, but he knows he is going to get caught in the end so basically he is dead too.
The well-being of a person and other people is one of the many concern for communities. It can just come from general curiosity or even from the overall safety of those who resides in that same community. In Toni Morrison’s Sula, we meet a character named Shadrack, who returned from the World War and now suffers from a mental anxiety disorder. When he returned to The Bottom, as shaken up as he was to be back in this environment, Shadrack created a day for people to commit suicide. This day was known as National Suicide Day.

Suicide is a very complicated event, and there are usually many different reasons why an individual decides to take his or her own life. Often, it involves a number of different people. In the case of Lydia Lee from Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, it technically was her own fault that she drowned in the community lake. However, many people in her daily life did play a role in her decision to go out to the lake in the first place, especially the members of her family. Even though Nath and James both did play a very significant role in Lydia’s decision to commit suicide, Marilyn should be to blame for Lydia’s death because she put too much pressure on her, she disregarded her feelings, and because she never promoted a healthy social life.

“The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world” was a statement by Edgar Allan Poe. It is a very strong statement, for death, in the non-literary world, is not typically associated with anything poetical. In fact, many would argue that death is the opposite of poetical.

Death is the end of one’s emotions, and in non-literal terms, death can be the lack of emotions.
