Narrative Essay: The Murder Of Special Agent Sam Hanna

Improved Essays
On Sunday night viewers of NCIS: Los Angeles probably had a hard time not shedding a tear for Special Agent Sam Hanna. An emotional episode, the shock of seeing Sam’s wife kidnapped had fans on the edge of their seats, but the ending was a twist few fans expected.

The episode opened with a headless killing in Los Angeles. One of Agent Hanna’s former seal pals was killed and left for the NCIS office to find. The gruesome killing was a sign of something big going down and it was more than what most expected.

The next shock for the viewers came when Agent Hanna’s wife, Michelle, was kidnapped. Demanding release of Tahir Khaled, a nemesis of Sam, the situation appears to be grave. With the entire office searching for Hanna’s wife, there was

Looking for video footage earlier in the day, Special Agent Kensi Blye and LAPD Detective Marty Deeks came across a location that had a camera pointed at the road. Seeing the kidnappers drive by, it was assumed they kept going. In the last fifteen minutes of the show, the two agents realized this probably was the location where MIchelle was being held. Making a tough decision to go in without backup, once they hit their door and bullets start flying, the agents know they need to move to save MIchelle.

As fans watched in shock, it was too late for Michelle Hanna. Her sealed container ran out of time and she suffocated from the lack of oxygen. It was an emotional ending to a beloved character that few viewers even imagined would be gone forever. The last few moments of the show offered a touching look at Sam holding his wife’s lifeless body as he wept.

The sadness and grief of losing his wife had fans of NCIS: Los Angeles and fans of San Hanna weeping too. The final scene of the show was emotional and reminded everyone how precious life is. As the character of Agent Sam Hanna is tough, this ending was difficult to watch. Behind every good man is a good woman and the grief Hanna is starting to face is just the beginning of this story. Next week the previews show Sam starting to unwind as he looks for his wife’s killer. Episode grade

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

    The short story A & P, written by John Updike, is different because of the way that Updike is able to write in present and past tense from the perspective of a teenager thinking back to his days working in a grocery store. The story is about some girls who walk into the store wearing nothing but their bathing suits. These girls draw everybody’s attention away from their work and onto them simply because of the way that they’re dressed. Besides the distraction, most of the conflict does not occur until the store manager notices the girls and scolds them about their attire. The comedic patter of the story is very evident with the way the narrator gives the girls and others in the store little nicknames that are almost somewhat offensive.…
