Theresa Knorr is an American woman convicted of torturing and murdering two of her children during the early 1980’s and is now serving two consecutive life sentences at the Placer County/Sacramento County jail in California (Murderpedia, n.d.). After a series of marriages, childbirths, and divorces, Theresa Knorr and her children moved into an apartment in Sacramento, California and it was around this time that Knorr began abusing her children (Clarkson, 1995). Over the duration of approximately ten years, Knorr subjected her children to a variety of sexual, physical, and psychological tortures including violent beatings, force feedings, forced prostitution, and verbal attacks (Clarkson, 1995). In 1963 while married to her first husband Clifford Sanders, Knorr gave birth to her first child, Howard Sanders (Lohr, n.d.). Several months after the birth of her first child, Knorr shot and killed her husband but was acquitted of charges on the basis of self-defense and soon after, gave birth to her second child, Sheila Sanders in 1965 (Lohr, n.d.). Just one year later, Knorr married Robert Knorr and over the next five years, gave birth to Suesan Knorr (1966), Robert Knorr (1967), and finally Terry Knorr (1970) (Lohr, n.d.). Following the termination of her marriage with Robert Knorr, Theresa had many failed relationships and ultimately moved in to an apartment with only her children (Lohr, n.d.). Despite there being no evidence of Knorr abusing her children during their early years…

The building was broken down kooking, it was even a worse place than where I live” (6). Jolly’s apartment at this point in the story is almost a perfect representation of her own life.…

Being a senior in high school was stressful for me, specially when I wanted to go to University of Arizona. I knew I could of got in because my GPA was high, but I also knew I couldn 't afforded living on campus like I wanted to. After over thinking my opinions about loans, grants, FASHA, and scholarships I decided to try to get a scholarship. Sadly, I didn 't get it because I missed two parts of the requirements (tax information and a letter of recommendation). Since I only had three more…

Dogs are considered man’s best friend, but where do birds fit in the pet equation? Just like more traditional pets like cats or dogs birds have different personalities and attributes that make them unique. My love and passion started for birds when I was eleven and lived in Bay ridge Brooklyn, the apartment across from us had been vacant for a long time and finally had new tenants moving in. Curiously watching from the window as they brought each and everything they owned. I heard a couple of…

Two weeks before I had my interview with the Honors College directors my house burned down. I remember the horrible day in which I walked into my home to find it full of smoke. My family and I had spent the whole afternoon together, we went to dinner and talked for a while. Once my dad parked the car in front of the house I remember feeling uneasy, something was not right. I got off the car as fast as possible and headed for the door to find a cloud of smoke hitting me across the face. My dog,…

I will also be targeting individuals who work with elderly care. As the film deals with the subject of aging as we follow Padraig growing older throughout his peacemaking, my filmmaker and I agreed that this would be a good psychographic to target. The message would be inspiring to these individuals and hopefully create a conversation in their organization that one can still do wonderful things while they are growing older. Padraig grows hard of hearing and begins losing some of his memory…
