    Craig Lloyd Graham Case

    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”).…

    Witch Craft In Puritan Society

    During the Puritan era, (16th to 17th centuries), the tendency of accusing someone of crime was prevalent. The uproar of Puritan accusations, such as witchcraft and lechery, consist of prison or sentence to death to anyone disobeying the law. Those who broke the law were not the only ones facing the consequences, but also the innocent people who were accused of the crime. Despite the consequences, Puritans “jumped the bandwagon” to accuse others of witch craft merely because of its popularity in Salem. Today’s society continues to portray the popularity of condemning others, not necessarily of witch craft, but of sexual assault.…

    Childhood Sexual Abuse In Zoe Zolbrod's The Telling

    In Zoe Zolbrod’s The Telling, Zolbrod narrates the causes and the lasting effects of her own sexual abuse at the hands of her cousin, Toshi, who lived with her family for a year. The memoir does not only focus on this event in her life, but also explores the development of her sexuality, relationships, and motherhood. One of the main focuses of her memoir is the idea that not every victim’s story of sexual abuse conforms to the same narrative and how this is the reason so many questions go unanswered when considering childhood sexual abuse. Her own story was significantly different, in the way that it affected her and how she grew up relatively happy and content with her home life.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    Racism In John Grisham's A Time To Kill

    The focus of the film may lead some to believe that the story is of the racism issues in Mississippi at this time, but the true story line is; what would you do if this was your little girl? It don’t matter if your black or white; if your child was raped and brutally beaten, what would you do as a father or even a parent? The genre of this film is actually based on crime, drama and thrill. The directors do an excellent job of placing all these genres into this film, from the rape to the trail and all the controversy in between. Courtroom dramas always make for an accelerating film.…
