    On March 1st 1932, 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh III was kidnapped. He was the con of the internationally known pilot, Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh and his wife Ana discovered the ransom note in their son’s room. The note demanded $50,000 for the return of the child. The kidnapper was very clever, using a ladder to sneak up to the child’s room and snatch him. He had left clues, however they were all false. Everyone wanted to help find the missing baby, even though locked up, Al Capone had offered his help. A few days later, another note showed up; this time demanding $70,000. This time the kidnapper seemed serious, giving a time and place to drop off the money. They told the Lindbergh’s that their child was on a boat called the Nelly off the coast of Massachusetts, but after long hours of searching nothing was found, no boat and no child. Shortly after, baby Charles Lindbergh III’s body was found not far from the Lindbergh’s mansion. The family was so heartbroken that they moved away after donating their mansion to charity. “The kidnapping looked like it would go unsolved until September 1934, when a marked bill from the ransom turned up. The gas station attendant who had accepted the bill wrote down the license plate number because he was suspicious of the driver. It was tracked back to a German immigrant and carpenter, Bruno Hauptmann.” When the detectives searched Hauptmann house, they found a large portion Lindbergh’s ransom money. He tried denying it but there was plenty of evidence proving he was the kidnapper. Besides the money, the handwriting on the ransom not seemed to closely resemble Hauptmann’s. Although the prosecution’s case was weak, there was still enough evidence to convict Hauptmann. He was then electrocuted the following year. “In the aftermath of the crime--the most notorious of the 1930s--kidnapping was made a federal…

    How reliable do you think autobiographies are? This is a very controversial question that can be argued on both sides. But for this essay, we are going to leave it up to your opinion but I’m going to give you mine. In the autobiography ‘Kidnapped’ written by Olaudah Equiano, is one of the first tirmes we hear about the journey of a slave from a firsthand point of view. The thing is, can we trust an official document like the Constitution to be true facts just as much as Equiano’s autobiography of the declaration of sentiments to be the most reliable way to report history.…

    The Kidnapping laws and abduction laws of people differ from state to state in the country, but generally they are the same everywhere. They apply to anyone who “without lawful authority, forcibly seizes and confines another, with intent to cause such other person to be secretly confined or imprisoned against his will” (Abduction). Kidnapping is also the unlawful taking of the victim and nefarious motive like obtaining a ransom. An excellent case of kidnapping would be the Jaycee Duggard Case. This case revolves around Phillip Garrido who kidnapped Jaycee Duggard at the age of 11 in 1991. By that time Garrido was already a convicted rapist when he had forcibly taken Duggard just outside her home. Garrido then raped Jaycee repeatedly…

    Without courage there would be no bravery in the world. “Courage” by Anne Sexton reaches out and tells us what it is to be brave, she teaches us that we have to have courage, for our own sake. The article “Mich. Teen Helps Save Abduction Victim’s Life” by John Carlisle introduces us to a boy that lives us to the expectations of courage. He shows us that it is hard, but worth it to be courageous.

    Similarly, high school can be compared to an obstacle course routine. If high school were an obstacle course, it would be one of the last and hardest obstacles to overcome. Similar to a trained competitor doing these courses, 9th graders have to adjust to any change that is not familiar to them in order to make this a routine. While 9th graders currently have the responsibility to adjust to the high school environment by themselves, it is still an important obstacle to overcome and it is essential to get exposure to it now and not…

    In the town of South Lake Tahoe, children played safely outside, the sun always seemed to be shining, and laughter was a common sound. Everyone knew one another and crime ratings were close to zero. Due to the town’s “child-friendly” nature, the Dugard family called this place home (Hawkins). However, on June 10, 1991, a fiery nightmare exploded into reality for eleven year-old Jaycee Dugard. Walking towards the bus stop, Jaycee was dragged into a grey sedan (Hawkins). Jaycee’s stepfather Carl Probyn witnessed this gut-wrenching act from down the street and tried unsuccessfully to trail the car on a bike. (Tresniowski). Jaycee’s mother, Terry, lost control of her emotions after her daughter’s kidnapping (Tresniowski). The ordeal also eventually caused Terry and Carl to split (Hawkins). Before the divorce, they put forth tremendous efforts to find their missing daughter, such as producing more than 500,000 posters (Tresniowski). Thankfully, Miss Dugard was found alive in 2009 in the Bay Area (Hawkins); however, Jaycee’s abductors, Phillip and Nancy Garrido, can only be described as severely disturbed. During Jaycee’s captivity, she lived in the trash-infested, “hell-warren” backyard compound of the Garrido’s (Tresniowski). As well as a horrendous living environment, Jaycee gave birth to two daughters fathered by Phillip Garrido during her eighteen years of hell on Earth (Hawkins). The basic facts of this story are famous nation-wide; however, most individuals are clueless as to why Jaycee wasn’t rescued for so long and how she survived. Because of mistakes made by police and other officials and Garrido’s master criminal mind, Jaycee was not rescued for eighteen years, during which her methods of survival kept her alive.…

    The moment I step on to school grounds it begins. Couples are hugging and holding hands and it isn’t even eight am yet. Walking into the school I’m greeted by the sight of people lip-locking all around me. I have to squeeze between my locker and whoever is being kissed against it. I’m dogging through all the couples to escape being caught in the middle of one of their countless make-out sessions. I’ve never noticed just how many couples actually attend Amery High School.…
