Chris Benoit

Following his death, Benoit was revealed to have suffered from CTE resulting from repeated concussions afflicted during his career. In order to understand Benoit’s behaviour, this paper will take a bio-behavioural approach. Specifically, frontal lobe theory will be applied to the behaviour displayed leading up to and during the murder-suicide.

In the more modern era, books, especially for children, are filled with pictures in order to help convey the ideas of the writer to all who read his books. This idea of pictures to help support book is shown very well in Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s book Days of Destruction…

Chris Crutcher argues in his article, “How They Do It”, that school systems should not become easily persuaded by the parents’ complaints to censor books that should be a part of the curriculum that their children benefit from due to the fact that the students can relate, learn, and build off of the books that are censored.
