Serial Podcast Adnan Syed: A Case Study

Decent Essays
At the age of seventeen Adnan Syed was arrested for the murder of sixteen-year-old Hae Min Lee. He was considered a prime suspect because he was the ex-boyfriend and that their break up was a motive for Adnan to commit murder. A break up can lead to many things but in Adnan case, his break up didn’t lead him to commit murder. According to Episode 2 of the Serial Podcast Adnan was calling Hae before she went missing but, “Adnan says he was probably calling to give her new cell phone number. He had just gotten the phone the day before. And indeed in the top left corner of her diary, she’d written down the number.” Adnan was able to talk to Hae on mature level after the breakup. In other break ups, some just don’t talk to the ex at all. Adnan

From the cold, harsh winter that the stories take place in, to the fact that they were written 2 years apart (1911 - 1913). These stories were not meant to relate at all, but the more you read, the more similarities you may find throughout both books. I find it funny that the similarities are not more recognised in the reading world, because they are so recognisable, yet it hasn’t been much noticed.…

    Hunter S. Thompson’s article following the events of September 11th, 2001 seemed like a version of his “Gonzo Journalism” for which he was so well known. This is a genre of journalism, also known as New Journalism, where the writer, as opposed to just reporting on an event, invokes their own thoughts and voice into whatever story they are reporting upon (Literature Resource Center, 2013). In his ESPN article, Fear & Loathing in America, Thompson (n.d.) reports facts and figures of the 9/11 events in methods familiar to traditional journalism, such as the loss of “20,000 lives in two hours (according to unofficial estimates as of Tuesday)” (para. 3). Nonetheless, that comes alongside statements about how “the goofy child-President, has been…
