Murder Home Case Study
1. The Murphy homes were nicknamed Murder homes. These homes were in the horrific projects. Graffiti covered the walls, the elevators rarely worked, and drug dealers were everywhere. Parents wouldn’t even let their children out of the house because of the danger surrounding them.
2. Tony is a teenager who just wishes he had gotten out of the drug business when he could. He is a depressed teenager who just wants his brother to do well. Tony has dug himself deep and just wants to drill important information into Wes’ brain, so that Wes doesn’t end up like him.
3. Wes’ school performance wasn’t perfect. He didn’t pay much attention in class because he was bored. I believe it was because Wes knew what was being taught so much so that it didn’t

    The Other Wes More Anallysis

    The author writes about how both Wes’s lives could have been interchangeable. That his life could have led him to being behind bars, and the others Wes’s life could have been free and happy. I believe that they could have been interchanged. A major difference in their lives were there mentors. The type of mentors each of them had were very different. The author had mentors like his mother, grandparents, and aunt that pushed him to make decisions that would make his life even better than their own. The author looked up to his family seeing how strong they were in all of their life troubles. The other Wes had his mother and one friend that pushed him towards the right path but he didn’t look up to them. He looked up to his older brother who was already in all the trouble with gangs and drugs. This Wes wanted to be just like his brother, even though his brother tried to encourage Wes at a young age to not do what he does but do what he says. In the book, both Wes’s are sent away to try to create a better future for themselves. The author, who was sent to a military school, he at first wanted nothing to do with the school and continuously tried to run away. After getting brought into the office the last time and talking to his mother, Wes got the attention he needed while he was still young and he had men at the school to show him that his life is not set in stone. They proved to him that he does have control of his future. They showed him how to stay focused on what really matters in life. The author kept this military life style throughout his life which kept him around people who cared and kept him on the right path. The now incarcerated Wes, went to Job Corps. I believe this was one of the best choices that Wes made in his life. He went there to better himself and his family. He got his GED and became a carpenter. The only problem he had with this was when he came home he was making honest money but not “fast…

    The Other Wes Moore essay

    While the environments that both boys grew up in were similar, there are key differences that influenced each Wes Moore into making different decisions later in their lives. The book begins with a discussion of their fathers; the author Wes Moore, although for a short time in his life, had a loving father who was involved and active. The other Wes Moore, however, had an alcoholic father who was absent his entire life, not bothering to get involved with his son. The second Wes Moore, unlike the author of this novel, never had a father figure and the only male role model he had was his elder brother who eventually dropped out of school to sell drugs. Both boys were also raised by their mothers but were raised in entirely different matters. Joy was a hardworking, strong and independent woman who had an education and grew up in a disciplined and structured environment. Joy was determined to provide the same for her three children, going as far as moving in with her parents and working multiple jobs to allow her children to go to private school instead of the failing public schools of the Bronx. Joy and Wes’ grandparents were strict and provided a stable household with high expectations and respect for rules and severe punishments for breaking those rules. For example, when Wes started to fail in school and did not improve his grades or his behavior his mother sent him to military school. Joy was a strict disciplinarian. Mary, the mother of the other Wes Moore, was not a strict disciplinarian and did not grow up in a stable environment. Mary’s mother died when she…

    Secondly, Wesley Hayden grows the most as a person throughout the novel. At first he is portrayed as an average man, who isn’t very interesting or adventurous as seen through the eyes of his son, David. When Frank is found to be a rapist, Wes then transforms into a deep and critical thinker, who investigates the situation and does the right thing in the end as he knows that he must be fair and unbiased towards the crimes that Frank had committed. Through the situation around him, Wesley Hayden becomes almost a different man because he grows as a person and sees that he must step up and take action otherwise nothing will be…

    Los Angeles Bb Murder Case Study

    When Beyond Birthday committed his third murder, he attempted an experiment. Namely, to see if it were possible for a human being to die of internal hemorrhaging without rupturing any organs. Specifically, he drugged his victim so they fell unconscious; tied them up, and proceeded to beat their left arm thoroughly, being careful not to break the skin. He was hoping to bring about enough hemorrhaging to cause death from loss of blood, but this attempt ended, sadly, in failure. Blood congested in the arm and it turned purplish red beneath the skin, but the victim did not die. They simply shook, convulsed, and remained alive. He had been convinced the blood loss incurred by this would be enough to…

    Street Corner Society Synopsis

    I would say that the characterization of lower class neighborhoods as being disorganized is false. While from an outsider's view, things may appear hectic and chaotic, there is a finely designed structure among the groups involved in the areas. Individuals find themselves grouping together with others who have similar aspirations and desires; in Street Corner Society, this is seen as the ‘corner boys' and ‘college boys'. Corner boys grew up, not in schools, but with each other on the area street corners. Doc was the general leader of the corner boys. College boys grew up and moved on into the college life. The Norton Street Settlement House would see the college boys as having aspirations that needed cultivating; while the corner boys were seen as simple 'rednecks'.…

    The term victim-precipitated homicide refers to those killings, which the victim is a direct, positive precipitator of the incident. Victim-precipitated homicide is, therefore, an act of suicide and the term refers to those incidents in which an individual, determined on self-destruction, engages in a calculated life-threatening criminal incident in order to force a police officer or another individual to kill him or herself (Parent, 1996).…

    Comparative Essay Example ( Romeo & Juliet and West Side Story)

    Tony is different from Romeo. Because; he does not care what the public think of him or how he dresses. He was not born into a family of socialites, and does what he feels is right. He is not afraid of speaking his mind in front of people no matter who they are, but if he were to put down someone, he would not do it so openly. Tony does not fight unless he feels it is right or to avenge someone's death. Tony is also a respected member of the ‘Jets' gang because he was loyal and he founded the gang. At eighteen he is no longer a member because he feels he is too sensible for the gang.…
