The family finds out that Sharon was not killed in a fire, but rather that it was far more brutal. Debra lives with these memories everyday of her life and never lives a day without remorse.
This was a source that stood out to me, it was very interesting to hear from somebody outside of the Manson Family which is why i chose it. Debra really talked about the morning in depth and really explained how devastating everything really was and how nobody could ever understand. The reader can almost feel the pain

Manson Today is Erik Hedegaard’s story of when he went to visit Manson in prison. Erik provides us with many personal details of the experience. He paints a picture for how Manson spends his time in prison and how he thoroughly enjoys his days locked up. Hedegaard lets us into the daily activities of the notorious man, and how he will spend the rest of his life.
The Manson today article was the most lengthy one, but definitely contained worthy information and provided insight on Manson in his life that he knows best; prison walls. Not only did we hear a ton from Manson in the article, but rather the the opinions and thoughts of those around him while he was in prison. Since the article consisted mostly of Hedegaard’s sit down with Manson there were plenty of great quotes that could potentially be used in my essay.

    The shocking nature of the fan account frames Frow’s concern with method in an understanding of dead celebrity, by engendering a sense of bewilderment of Elvis fandom. Much of the “cult” work on Elvis pathologizes fans. For example, Joyrich in her article “Elvisophilia: Knowledge, Pleasure, and the Cult of Elvis (1993),” argues fans avid desire to accumulate Elvis possessions amounts to a form of addiction. Such studies highlight the reductionism inherent in pathological accounts of fan action and cloud an understanding of emotion and action in deviance. Elvis Culture: Fans, Faith and Image, by Erika Doss, aligns closely with Rodman, but has the benefit of ethnographic data.…

    The Hillside Stranglers fall under several themes of violence from class, like containment, instrumentality of violence, social influence, and psychopath, which they will now be analyzed under. I think it also important to note their upbringing and how familial influence could have played a role, through genes or environment. Firstly, in terms of containment it is not enough to say that all these atrocities took place in the Los Angeles area, but the bodies were all disposed in locations relatively close to each other. For the most part, the Hillside Stranglers used hillsides along middle class areas situated closely to police stations (The Hillside Stranglers, 2018), but in an evaluation of more recent victimes it was discovered that one…

I shall summarize Medina’s story, present a simplistic format of the theories I believe were in play in her story, and then connect those theories with her story.

Brenda Medina’s story prior to the arrest started when she was around six years old living with her parents and many siblings in a hostile family setting, she would deal with her brother’s pranks and her mom’s vile actions to…
