How To Kill Moose
There is so many different murder weapons out in the world. Guns, knives, etc. However, what about the everyday objects that take a astute, sharp and intelligent person to be able to turn them into dangerous weapons? If you were small and skinny like Cecil, and were trying to kill a big man like Moose, how would you go about committing the severe crime? There is just too much evidence that supports Cecil killing Moose with wire to be able to ignore the option. Cecil was known around the camp for his capability to create trinkets for the other men with wire. He was asked by Mr. Anderson, one of the camp leaders, to make him a watch strap, who also voiced his concerns about him running out of wire. Cecil responded by saying " I still have enough …show more content…
Cecil, meanwhile, could have been actually tying the wire around the tree. The evidence behind this theory is that Mr. Anderson, a week or two after Moose had mysteriously died, went out to the ravine to check on the handline. A rather strange detail about the trees caught his eye. He noticed burn marks that could have been made by wire loops. Mr. Anderson stated that a length of wire strung around the trees that was high enough to catch someone and toss them into the ravine. This, in my opinion, is how Moose died. Cecil excelled in making things with wire. If he wire could've caused burn marks in tree bark, it could've definitely harmed human skin. Cecil probably got his hand burnt from trying the wire around the tree, which would explain his weird comment about having enough wire to do what he had to do. He very likely may have taken the wire off the tree after Moose fell to his death, and used it to make Mr. Anderson's watch. Mr. Anderson seemed to think that's what may have happened, since he said that he may have been wearing evidence of a murder as a wrist strap. Cecil was a small boy; it was the only way he could ever hope to kill a big man like

    Wyatt Earp's buffalo hunting approach was very different then that of "old timers". The "old timers" had a standard way of going about there hunt. The hunter would provide five four-horse wagons, and enough supplies to last several months. They would also bring along a driver, a stocktender, a camp watchmen, a cook, and four skinners. Part of the buffalo hunter's code forbade a hunter from skinning his own kill, so a top-notch buffalo hunter as well as anyone above a skinner would never do something below his level of dignity. The weapon that most hunters choose to use was a Sharp's "Fifty" rifle. The rifle had a long shooting range but had a high cost for ammunition, was heavy, and had to be cleaned every few shots to keep its accuracy…

    Black Elk Speaks written by John Newhart is a biography of a Native American. In the biography Neihardt takes us thru Black Elk’s experiences as the Wasichus (white man) take over the land he lives on. The Wasichus have always been monsters to the Natives. Young kids see them as monsters that will get you if you misbehave and adults see them as merciless murders, due to the fact that they killed many Native women and children; Wasichus also took away culture and tradition from them.

    The woods reveal the story’s mood, so readers get a sense of what is to come. Whenever O’Connor mentions a “line of trees” or “line of woods,” something is going to happen. The woods foreshadow the family’s death throughout the “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.” It starts with the drive on the dirt road when O’Connor says that at one moment they are “looking down over the blue tops of trees” and then the next, they are depressed with “dust-coated trees” that look down on them.

After the accident, the family is left in a ditch where they can only get a view of the tree tops while sitting near woods that were “tall and dark and deep”…

His face scraped along sharp edges of ice when he lay shocked with fear. Then he felt the first wave of pain. It was like a hatchet lay lodged in his leg, cutting through each nerve with a hot blade.

    The prevailing behaviorist theories of the time would predict that the lonely monkey would quickly grow attached to the wire mother, since it dispensed the food. But Harlow was surprised to observe that the monkeys spent an overwhelming amount of time with the cloth mother, moving to the wire mother only when they needed to eat. Their affection for the cloth mother had nothing to do with food and everything to do with warmth and comfort.…

    The safety catch was on so he didn’t manage to shoot anyone. Back in 1928, the element of science behind ballistics was unknown territory for a jury. However the evidence presented by Churchill was outstanding, this resulted in the hanging of Browne and his colleague. The work of Robert Churchill brought the idea of ballistics into forensic science; it helped prove what gun had been used in the crime carried out. However, finding the gun that was involved could take years or the police may never even find it and at this time there was no proof of who had actually used the weapon. This was a downside of ballistics that caused problems for police and forensic scientists. Nowadays criminals know not to leave bullets at a crime scene and many don’t, as they know that without the bullet or the cartridge the gun used would never be found. Ballistics experts are now using a new piece of technology, in the programme ……..

    In the Boston Gazette during the week of the Boston Massacre, an article was written explaining exactly what occurred during that fateful evening. William Merchant, a youth, struck one of the soldiers with a small stick. While this initially may seem like an attack on the soldiers that could have caused them harm, the key point here is that Merchant hit him with a small stick. Only a weak man would be scared of a stick, and based on the behavior exhibited by the soldiers on that night, not only are they strong, but heartless as well. Therefore, Merchant’s small stick could not be perceived as a threat by any means.…

    He had the idea of a machine with a needle which would go through a piece of cloth but he couldn’t figure out exactly how it would work. In his dream, cannibals were preparing to cook him and they were dancing around the fire waving their spears. Howe noticed at the head of each spear there was a small hole through the shaft and the up-and-down motion of the spears and the hole remained with him when he woke. The idea of passing the thread through the needle close to the point, not at the other end, was a major innovation in making mechanical sewing possible.…
