    There are many serial killers in the world, but one serial killer who is worth talking about is Dennis Rader. Dennis Rader is also known as the BTK killer or some refer to him as the BTK strangler. Rader gave himself these nicknames in a letter he sent to the police and local news outlets. BTK stands for “blind, torture, and kill” and this is what he typically did to his victims. Dennis Rader murdered 10 people between the 1970’s and the 1990’s.

    I heard that there are different formats of essays so I expect to learn all of them and use it accordingly. Similarly, I assume that presentations are common in any subjects. I anticipate in learning the different ways to effectively deliver messages to the audience. Another style of writing I would likely use is team collaboration.

    Ever since I could remember, my father would always play our Steinway piano in our living room. The sound would always flow through the walls.
