Improved Essays
“Her name was Jonetta Green. It was the same kind of thing. She went to show a house, and just like that, she was murdered. My husband knows the detective who handled the case.” She looked over to her husband Terry who didn’t bother trying to clear his mouth of food.
“Yeah. My company contributes to the Police Benevolent Fund and they have a golfing tournament every year - I help coordinate it. The lady in charge was Lucretia Knight,” he said, shoveling another load into his mouth. “I don’t think she’s in Montgomery County anymore.”
“We know Lucretia,” Maddie said, trying to hide her displeasure at watching Terry chew his food and talk at the same time. “We’re meeting with her to discuss the case, but thanks anyway for the information.”
‘Hm-hmmm.

She tapped on the microphone when the room didn’t quiet down fast enough.
“I’d like to welcome you to this year’s Real Estate Agents Awards Ceremony. I hope everyone enjoyed their dinner. We have a special ceremony planned for this evening because this year more agents broke into the One Million Dollar Club than ever before.” There was a spattering of applause.
“In addition, we are honoring more real estate agents who broke into the Five Million Dollar Club than ever before!”
Again, there was another spattering of applause given the magnitude of the accomplishment.

    Nearly one month later, on July 10, 1977, Craig’s body was found floating in a nearby strip-mine pond that had already been intensely searched in the first few days and weeks following his disappearance (Flynn, Grace). An autopsy report determined that there was no definite cause of death, but then again authorities had poured fuel on the body at the time of discovery to “kill maggots” supposedly. This move disabled all ability to make determination of cause of death from tissue samples. The sheriff at the time, along with the grand jury, recommended that the case remain open (Flynn, Grace). After several years, Craig Lloyd Graham’s cause of death is still listed as unknown with no new facts or evidence to help find out who committed this terrible crime (“Craig Lloyd Graham”).…

    Written in 1996 and published in 1997 Jon Krakauer - 1954-present 20th century - Modern writing with some uses of slang in the text Key Quotations: “Morality had remained a conveniently hypothetical concept, an idea to ponder in the abstract. Sooner or later the divestiture of such a privileged innocence was inevitable, but when it finally happened the show was magnified by the sheer superfluity of the carnage” (Krakauer, 283). Krakauer’s experience at Everest was more than just an experience to Everest, it was a very shocking lesson in life and death. The disaster changed him forever by destroying his innocence and it continually affected him. “I suspected that each of my teammates hoped as fervently as I that Hall had been careful to weed out clients of dubious ability, and would have the means to protect each of us from one another's shortcomings” (Krakauer 38).…
