Criminal Minds: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Aspyn didn’t think anything to exciting would happen today. She thought that it was just a normal day, and she would spend most of the day inside watching Friends or Criminal Minds like she usually did. It was when she checked the weather online and realized how beautiful it was outside. She didn’t want to miss out on any episodes of Criminal Minds so she brought out her Ipad with her and some headphones and started tanning outside. Aspyn was really focused on the crime scene that was going on until she noticed an unfamiliar truck parked outside. She noticed a very attractive man taking out Boxes from the back of the truck. He was wearing tight skinny jeans, a band t-shirt and a fedora holding his perfect curls together. Aspyn soon realized she was starring when the young man waved at her and she quickly became very red in the face. She continued back to her show and simply ignored the wave, not thinking much of it.

A few hours later Aspyn was still watching Criminal Minds when she heard a far knock on one of her windows. She grew worried but she didn’t hesitate to go check it out. When she got to the window, she realized someone was throing little rocks at it and it was the new neighbor from across the

“No.” Parker simply answered. Aspyn just looked at him with complete and utter shock. “If you continue wasting your time, wondering about the meaning of life, you are simply just not living. Living is the meaning of life. You are obviously here to live, so live. Stop thinking of something that’s just going to destroy your thoughts and live. Just live damn it.”
Aspyn starred at this beautiful boy in her bed and thought about his words for so long. Parker was perfect. He talked in ways that Shakespeare couldn’t even compete with. Over the past few weeks she realized his words were simply beautiful, just like

    For this journal entry I chose to review the television show, Criminal Minds viewed on 4/11/16.

Most cases involve a serial killer. In this episode, the Behavioral Analysis Unit, (BAU), is called in to investigate when three people have been murdered in two separate incidents in Los Angeles, California. Ballistics shows the victims were shot multiple times with the same .45 caliber handgun.…

    The question the “the meaning of life” is a vague question. Many interpret this question in different ways because the meaning of life for everyone is not the same. For some it may be to do as much good as they can, or it may be to live life like there is no tomorrow and have has much fun as they can or to gain as much knowledge as possible to make themselves happier. Many people interpret this question differently so there is no one answer for this question. No person can answer this question for someone else it is left up to the person himself to answer…

    Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet explores the tragic love of two teens from warring families. Amongst neglectful parents and horrific coincidences, readers have questioned the causes that lead up to the young couple’s deaths for years, whether they result from chance or choice. In Act 4, Scene I of the play, Juliet confronts the Friar for help in avoiding her soon approaching marriage to Paris. Though this speech could characterize Juliet as immature and brash, Shakespeare’s use of powerful words, careful balance between mono- and polysyllabic lines, and even scornful language characterize Juliet more so as a determined and honorable young woman set on upholding her marriage to Romeo.…

    A Response to Question 1, Section 1: The Meaning of Life: Wolf vs. Taylor Both Richard Taylor and Susan Wolf understand the difficulty of answering the question, “What is the meaning of life?” Taylor begins his “The Meaning of Life” by saying that we do not even understand what the question means to then answer it, and Wolf claims in her own “The Meanings of Lives” that the question is embarrassing to ask because, as Taylor asserts, we really do not understand what is being asked here. Taylor proposes, then, the best way to answer this is to ask what makes for a meaningless life, and perhaps from this comparison, we can find some answers to the original question. Wolf appreciates Taylor’s approach as she also adopts his method, and even though…

    "You need to call in Lila." Detective Tom Reilly dropped the photo onto the desk, ran a palm over his buzz-cut scalp, and lifted his deep-blue eyes to stare at his colleague, Jarrod Blair. "I'm not sure, Jarrod," he replied slowly, as he drew his gaze back to the image of a bruised, battered and naked woman that had landed face-up on his wooden desk, located in a office on the second of the Police building in the 96th precinct. The woman whose slim, attractive features, age, long brunette tresses, and deep brown eyes reminded him of his wife. So much so, that they could have been sisters.…

    Throughout the book, Just Mercy, the encounters Bryan Stevenson had with inmates was eye-opening to me. When one looks at the criminal justice system as a whole, every person convicted of their crime is looked upon as rightfully guilty. After reading, Just Mercy, that is clearly not the case. There are many people put into jail or even death row for crimes they did not even commit. The case with Walter McMillian is a perfect example of this.…

    In the play Love’s Labour’s Lost, by William Shakespeare, five men, after swearing to not talk to women at all for three years, fall for five women. Hysterics ensue. In an effort to woo the women they have fallen for, these five men, composed of a King and his Lords and constituents, decide to write poetry. Unfortunately for them and the ladies they have fallen for, none of their works are particularly outstanding. However, compared to his four peers, Biron does the finest job of writing his poem, as he flatters the woman he is writing to, stays on topic, and acknowledges her intelligence and wisdom-- all things that are rare to find in the other poems.…

    Crime fiction television shows from different countries portray the contrasting values and cultural ideologies societies of differing nations possess. A nation’s context greatly influences the crime fiction programs that it creates; current events occurring within a country and the contemporary issues that they deal with all shape the shows they produce. The American drama “Breaking Bad”, England’s “Sherlock Holmes” as well as the Australian show “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”, all demonstrate the contrasting views and values distinctive nations have and how they highlight these attitudes through their distinctive style of crime fiction shows. Both “Breaking Bad” and “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” subvert the conventions of the crime fiction…

    Criminal Psychology Introduction: Criminal psychology is the study of the intentions and behaviours of criminals. Criminologists apply psychology to crime in order for them to uncover the criminals reasoning for committing the crime. This is not a job that many people know about but I believe that it is a very important job so that the police and other agencies have information about what and who they are dealing with. I had a short limited amount of prior knowledge about this topic but from researching it further I have accumulated much more information and have created 3 key questions that I will be exploring. First I will be analysing the question How can criminal psychology help the criminal justice system and other agencies deal with…

Undercover cops were used to diving in dumpsters, he wiped the spoiled food off the butcher’s knife and bagged it, just another day on the job for the stocky built Irishman, a fireplug, with a relentless pursuit of bad guys. His back-up pulled in the alleyway, with the disposition of a talk show host, before his morning coffee. He barked at Joey about some stupid shit, handed him a cup of brew, and sped down 4th Street, they were on their way to the rear entrance of the police station.

    We are constantly striving to search for the purpose and meaning of the things we do in our everyday lives. I believe we need reason and purpose in order to do anything, just how some need a reason or reasons to keep living, or their lives may become “meaningless”. I believe the meaning of life is to find what is true to you by using your own personal experiences and dreams. Everything you do brings meaning, even if it brings you happiness or sadness or even tragic. Either the experience is good or bad, it still has…
