The woman, Yu, had been found on a lava embankment; Dan had reported that he found her there, presumably after hanging laundry. She had many injuries; a later autopsy determined she died of two massive wounds caused by a tire iron. She also had scrapes from the lava rocks. In 2012, a new case prosecutor reviewed the case-there was additional blood evidence found, evidently linking DeJarnette to his wife’s death. He was a prime suspect in the first place; this just locked it in.…
Through Tony Hoagland’s poem, “The Truth,” the speaker reaches the conclusion and becomes satisfied with the idea that he is “in the land of the unfinished,” despite his many efforts “to get inside.” In the initial three stanzas, he describes the image of the wasps “shrunken to death” and “perishing” is reoccuring. In the fourth stanza, he analyzes the role of the wasps in a macro perspective. In the last four stanza, he draws a parallel with his actions of “trying again and again/ to get inside” to the wasp’s actions of “making the same effort again and again. However, by the last stanza, the speaker has come to terms with the idea that he will remain in the “land of the unfinished.”…

Imagine yourself being trapped in a small metal box that gradually constricts your body. It squeezes you until your very being caves in and you breathe one’s last. This is how isolation in concentration camps transforms your tranquil soul into a raving madman. Night, a memoir by holocaust survivor and professor, Elie Wiesel, paints the horrors of isolation and how its knives will carve away your flesh and hope until there’s nothing but a vile corpse. In order to avoid the assured effects of this ‘solitary confinement’ in the concentration camps, having loved ones were beneficial because they needed one another to talk to, keep each other strong, and predominantly to keep each other sane.…
Asylums such as The McLean Asylum for the Insane located in Boston, The Worcester Lunatic Asylum, and The Northampton Lunatic Hospital have been around for many years.

Each asylum has different forms of recreation and work that the patients are allowed to do while being treated in the early asylums.…
There are many different icons in society that inspire fear into the hearts of mankind, from Dracula to Frankenstein; however, insane asylums found their way into American culture in earlier centuries and have risen to a source of terror and misery. Asylums are still feared today based on their practices and behaviors up until the 20th century when drastic changes in both the culture and laws of society changed. Nevertheless, their bad reputation has followed them throughout the years and will seemingly cling on to the institutions for the rest of time. As thoughts and views of mental illness have changed in recent decades, asylums too…
Hello, I wanted to send you an email about something that was concerning to me after the game today. Kate came off the field very upset and unfortunately I had two other players with me that I was transporting home so I didn’t get much of a chance to discuss this with her until tonight. She wouldn’t tell me what was wrong right away, but one of the other players told me she was upset because her coach said there were three players that didn’t hustle and just stood there during the game today. Now I have taught for many years and also coached and take everything an 8 year old tells me with a grain of salt.…

“Take away love, and our earth is a tomb”, a popular quote from an English poet and playwright Robert Browning, that best describes the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet felt that they should be together and they did not care what it took. They were willing to give even their lives. Their love ended in death. The play Romeo and Juliet showed that the ruling passion of true love surpasses the three other kinds of love shown in the play; physical, courtly and family love.…
