Memphis Three Stereotypes
The Memphis Three might have been boys, but they took their sentence like men. In "Deal Frees West Memphis Three in Arkansas" by Campbell
Robertson; he explains how the trial played out from start to finish. What angered the media was the horrible trial, the stereotype the Memphis
three went under and the closing of the case. Justice was not served for the Memphis three. It is almost impossible for justice to be served when the
trail was a mess. There was a 12 hour police interrogation of Jessie Misskelley. He is intellectually disabled, causing him to give a false confession.
The police should have known the psychology of false confession and shouldn't have interrogated Mr. Misskelley for 12 hours. The sentences were
based on hearsay testimony of witnesses who heard the boys talk about the murders: "...the defendant had been motivated as members of a satanic cult"
(Robertson 4). Hearsay doesn't prove anything in the court of law. The jury is supposed to know nothing about the case; but of course one juror already
had his mind set on his conviction. This juror ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This factor caused them to be the driving force of the investigation. The police reasons for them being suspicious was: they wore all black clothing,
listened to heavy metal, and were teens. These claims were obviously pointless as Mecinda Smith a supporter even pointed out herself. She wore
black and had long hair like Mr. Echols, there is no reports of Ms. Smith murdering any boys. People go through clothing phases and should not be
mistaken as a satanic cult. Mr. Echols started "...believing he was singled out for being an outsider in a small town." (Robertson 5). When the head
suspect knows he is being discriminated on just know there is something wrong. There was no evidence that the Memphis Three was a satanic cult.
The police evidence against them was their appearance. There was no justice when a conviction is based on someone's

The Crucible Research Paper : West Memphis Three
Crucible Research Paper : West Memphis Three
The West Memphis Three terminology was birthed when three troubled, teenage boys were accused of brutally torturing and murdering three young,
innocent boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, in May of 1993. Authorities had mounting pressure to find the culprits responsible for the unspeakable
crime. In a very short time, the three teens were accused, arrested and then charged with the brutal crime. It was not Salem, Massachusetts, but a
witch–hunt was going on in West Memphis. It was almost three hundred years later, but three teenagers had to feel like they were being treated like
witches that had to be put away. Chris Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch were the three innocent eight year old boys who were on a bike ride
adventure on May 5, 1993 and never returned home again. Family, friends and the entire community were mortified beyond belief. It was unspeakable
what happened to the boys. Chris, Michael, and Stevie were found in Robin Hood Hills naked, bound and mutilated. Immediately, rumors began that
due to the brutal nature of the crime, it had to be that of satanic doing. On the flip side of the above innocent youngs boys, there are the three very
troubled teens that live in the same town. Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin. They were three well known teenagers in West

Deductive reasoning draws from specific conclusions of general principles (Bartol & Bartol, 2010). Arrival at the crime scene and drawing
theories from the scene would be the initial step of deductive analysis. Forming a hypothesis from theories drawn at the scenes would follow. The
hypothesis here is; there are many aspects of this crime and unknown suspects that are obvious such as the sophistication of the attacks and the fact
that the young children were spared, this alone aligns with criminals who are experienced and have a clear method of what they do. Observation of
the multiple crime scenes and the way in which the family was killed leads to, this act of violence against this family showing as being business
related and not personal. This is based on the fact that the victims were shot execution style while sleeping in their beds (Valencia, 2017). It is
possible the marijuana grow operations are connected in some way to the killings. Due to there being more than one crime scene within close
proximity to each other, there may be multiple assailants in this crime. The hypothesis drawn in this case can only be confirmed after an arrest of a
suspect is made, this case remains

Stereotypes In Paradise Lost Film
To begin with, I can honestly say the filmmakers of this amazing Documentary "Paradise Lost" thought that these three young men Damien Echols,
Jessie Lloyd Misskelly, Jr, and Jason Baldwin were mainly guilty because of the negative vibes throughout the entire movie.

everyone an okay they are guilty look on their faces. Like when they were interviewing Damien Echols the camera kept turning off and going to the

viewers bad thoughts about him such as, He has an IQ of 72 and, he takes maximum amount of medication. They also was trying to throw in a little

Evidence In Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost is a documentary that tells the story of three teenage boys that were accused of murdering Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and
Steve Branch. The three teenagers, Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin were convicted and sentenced to life for the murder of these
three little boys. After 18 years of imprisonment, the state realized that they mess up and gave the chance for Misskelley, Echols, and Baldwin to
declare themselves guilty. As a result, they were free, but still with hopes that things would clear out and they finally declare them completely innocent
of the death of these boys. The case of the West Memphis Three was an example of an ineffective operating system. They didn't present all the

Although the book tells you that Detective Kinderman was a big time friend with Karras, but honestly, I never felt that when reading the original The
Exorcist novel.
The story behind Legion focuses on a murder investigation involving the deceased Gemini Killer and Kinderman trying to figure who exactly is
behind these most recent killings, which bear the true MO of the Gemini Killer. He eventually ends up interviewing a psych patient who says he is the
Gemini Killer, but when Kinderman visits him, he is completely thrown for a loop when he sees the definitely should be dead Father Damien Karras,
who is being possessed by the Killer. The rest of the novel, unfortunately, features pages and pages of Blatty 's theories on evaluation and random
nonsense that has nothing to do with the main story. Honestly, the book ended up being awful because of that.
When 1990 was approaching, a sequel to The Exorcist was being demanded. Blatty came on as writer/director and went to work adapting his once

The West Memphis Three Case Analysis
The Case of the West Memphis Three involves the three teenage boys accused and convicted of murdering Michael Moore, Stevie Branch, and
Christopher Byers in West Memphis, Arkansas on May 5th, 1993. The investigation, trial, and appeals that followed would put the Arkansas criminal
justice system under scrutiny for their actions. The West Memphis Police Department arrested and chargedJason Baldwin, Damien Echols, and Jessie
Misskelly, Jr. with the three boy's murders. The entire case was under the constant watch of the media and brought a great deal of attention to the
actions and conduct of the West Memphis Police Department, as well as the Arkansas criminal justice system. Many outsiders got involved with the
West Memphis Three case. Among these outsiders were famous musicians Eddy Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam and Natalie Maines of the Dixie
Chicks, famous actors including Johnny Depp, and superstar director Peter Jackson. These celebrities helped to raise awareness of the case as well as
to help raise money for the West Memphis three to obtain appropriate post–conviction representation and unbiased forensic testing and analysis in the
hopes of exonerating them of their convictions. While the new forensic evidence (and the new testing and expert analysis of the original evidence)
ultimately helped the West Memphis Three become free men again, the question still remains as to who really murdered those three boys on May 5th,

Damien Hirst 's The On The Mind Of Someone Living
The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living is a piece that was created by the artist Damien Hirst in the year 1992. In
summary, it is a tiger shark that is preserved in a formaldehyde solution in a case of glass and steel. The case is separated into three parts, which
most likely is because Hirst did not want the viewer to see and observe the piece as one whole dead shark. It is thought that this steel casing breaks
the continuity of the shark and therefore, becomes less connectable as something familiar to the viewer. This shark is considered one of the most
shocking pieces of American art. This is because this shark, for many people, seems to be a direct representation of death and is quite disturbing,
and somewhat scary to look at, whether it be in person or in real life. Therefore, the belief stands that this piece is more a form of science than a form
of art. The artist of the piece is Damien Hirst. Hirst is an English artist who was born in Bristol and moved to London when he was 19 years old.
Hirst was raised in a Catholic household, and even had an early religious educational childhood. Later in his life, he pulls from this religious
education as inspiration for his works. He got his Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College in 1989, which he later used to practice
sculpture, painting, and drawing. After graduating, Hirst and his peers became part of a group called the Young British Artists, and they would be

Kelley was found dead in her home on Ginnan Road in Caton on September 29th. Clayton's attorney says Clayton wasn't even three when Kelley was

How Art Can Be Considered Many Things
Art can be considered many things. It can be considered a sculpture, a painting, a song, a movie, but it could also be considered a carefully thought out
plan.
Art lives through time, and among the criteria of what constitutes the "best" in Art is that it refuses to be forgotten. Da Vinci 's "Mona Lisa", Van
Gogh's "Starry Night", or even Campbell's Soup Cans by Warhol have not, as of yet, been forgotten. Much like memorials, which are made with the
intention of living through time by depicting a singular, particular moment of history. Art aims to be remembered, not forgotten. But memorials, unlike
art, tend to commemorate horrific events, tragedies, and losses almost exclusively. Consider the USS ArizonaMemorial, the Lincoln Memorial, ... Show

Flesh and all. He goes on to talk about how writers, after the 9/11 attack occurred, did not know what to write about. But, he writes, that novelist Don
DeLillo considered the acts of violence as "something grander" and "greater than the mere novel" (Appleyard 1). Appleyard also includes a quote from
artist Damien Hirst, who had "gotten into trouble for saying something similar". Hirst had said, "[t]he thing about 9/11 is that it's kind of an
artwork in its own right. It was wicked, but it was devised in this way for this kind of impact. It was devised visually... You've got to hand it to
them [the terrorists] on some level, because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever thought possible..." (Appleyard 1).
Superficially at least, Hirst's claim here praises the terrorists, not particularly for what they did but how they did it. Their plan, Hirst is saying, was

He produces paintings, sculpture, and wallpapered environments that play off the charms of Japanese traditional and popular arts with close to the
contradictory. Since as teenager, he had an early interest in manga and anime, so the artist began to develop some of his most well–known characters,
which are still present in his work currently. He has lent his idea from old and new creativities to blur the boundaries between high and low art in
Murakami's projects. Among his well–known curated exhibition, Superflat was developed and exhibited a signature two–dimensional style. "This
distinctive style employs highly refined traditional Japanese painting techniques to depict a super–charged mix of Pop and amine content, displaying
both cultural inspirations and aesthetic issues all within the dimension of the narrative." He treasures the Superflat and makes it the name of a 2001
art exhibition which "refers to various flattened forms in Japanese graphic art, animation, pop and fine arts, as well as the shallow emptiness of
Japanese consumer society." Besides the successful Superflat, his studio has also produced the oversized fiberglass figures that exhibit the fetishism of
the cosplay culture and the sexuality of manga images. For example, Hiropon, the pornographic fiberglass creation is an anime–type character with
monstrously huge breasts that are spilling out of her bikini. "This super–sized fantasy figurine sold at an auction in 2002 for $427,500 and helped

The largest piece of evidence against Williams was numerous similar fibers connected to the victims and Williams's environment (Deadman 2 of

fiber types involved in this case that linked to Williams, and of these 28, 14 were from a rug or carpet (Deadman 13 of 14). These fibers were
associated with "a bedroom carpet in Wayne Williams' home, his bedspread, a yellow blanket found under that bed, a leather jacket hanging in
Wayne's closet, a gray glove in his station wagon..." (Plummer 2 of 3). Dog hairs, which were traced to Williams's German Shepard Sheba, were
also found; as well as scalp hairs that linked Williams to one of the victims, Patrick Baltazar. The scalp hairs were 98% similar to Wayne Williams,
and the DNA sequence of the dog hairs could only be found in 1 out of 100 dogs. The combination of the hair, and fibers at the same location

power was also present in Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible. Taking place in 1692, a time when religion was everything and the town preacher
was authority, people were forced into the mundane, agricultural centered lives that had been handed to them by the previous generation (Miller 3).
Children were "young adults" and seen as "thankful for being permitted to walk straight" (Miller 4). It was a small town they lived in and very few
people were literate. Any information they came across was given to them by gossiping townsfolk or the preacher, Reverend Parris. Revered Parris
uses the power that was handed to him to give himself a better name in politics. The witch craze provided the perfect moment to do so. He helped
head the committee that determined the innocence of those convicted. By doing so he hopes to create a reputation for himself in politics. He also
supports anything the judge Danforth says, calling him "sir" and "Your Excellency" (Miller 88). This brown nosing and condemnation of others,

The Exclusivity of the Art Market
"That which costs little is less valued," said novelist Miguel de Cervantes (Saavedra, 1819). A phenomenon very true to the art markets, one might
say. Elitism and exclusivity drive the art world. Value of art works is socially and subjectively constructed, based on one's concocted rationales of what
is significant and what is not. Giving art works the title of commodities, hence, is rather trivial, particularly due to the nature and quality of these works.
One cannot, however, deny that in the case of contemporary art, capitalism and the art world seem to run hand–in–hand.

The documentary presented examples of British art–world businessman Charles Saatchi who triggered and supported the extraordinary prices for the
works of Damien Hirst, as well as collector Jose Mugrabi, whose collection of 800 Warhols indubitably amounts to cornering the market. (Lewis, 2009)
Art markets are notorious for their lack of transparency and information asymmetries provide several opportunities for immoral activities to take
place. (Velthuis, 2011) On the day of the declaration of bankruptcy by Lehman Brothers, the worst financial crisis in history, Damien Hirst sold his art
at a record price of ВЈ70 million, in an auction at Sotheby's. It was apparent, however, that Hirst and his colleagues had manipulated the sale prices
by engaging dummy bidders into the auction sales. (Lewis, 2009) Thus, while the rest of the economy was slowly falling apart, the contemporary art
bubble kept on inflating, bigger than ever before. It was the peak of the contemporary art bubble, and also the start of its downfall. A month after this
triumph, the contemporary art market crashed, dropping by 40% in November 2008 and 75% by February 2009. (Art Market Trends, 2011)

Summary Of The Physical Possibility Of Death In The Mind...
Damien Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" is a sculpture of a shark entombed in a rectangular steel
vitrine. The vitrine is designed so that it looks like it is divided into three cubes. The steel that splits up the vitrine into these cubes is painted white.
Inside the vitrine, the shark is entirely frozen in what looks like clear, blue water. It is positioned so that it is in the center of the tank. From a side
view, the shark's head pops out of the first cube, its body is in the middle cube, and its tale pops out of the third cube. The shark has its mouth wide
open, showing off its sharp teeth. It looks like it was about to attack someone or something just before it was frozen in place. From a front view, the
insides of the shark can be seen.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Coming close this shark, which looks like it is about to attack whoever is standing in front of it, is the closest we will get to experiencing death and
coming out alive. The shark evokes unease and fear in its viewers. The open mouth of the shark brings fright to its observer. If a person was in an
ocean with this shark and it was not frozen in place, then he or she would most likely not make it out of that ocean alive. Avoiding death in that
situation would be "The Physical Impossibility of Death", as stated in the title. Hence, this artwork, allows a living person to imagine an unrealistic

as an icon of everything that was good – or bad – about contemporary art, depending on your viewpoint (Sarah Kent). For most people, this shark was
the icon of everything that is bad about contemporary art, if you can call it that. Does this man go out of his way to hunt a wonderful creature as the
tiger shark? Slaughtering animals for no other reason, but so use them in art is despicable. Strong emotions are going through many individual's minds
on Hirst's work, either good or bad. For this reason, Hirst was dubbed the "bad boy" of British art and scarcely a week went by without an article
appearing in the press outlining his outrageous behavior (Kent). This exhibition is touching on the subject matter of death, with death itself in the "art".

Case Analysis: The Murder Of Corey Davis
On the 2nd of March 1998, a 10 year–old boy, LMW, was charged with the manslaughter of Corey Davis, a 6 year–old boy. Corey Davis was drowned
in the Georges River when the defendant, LMW, dropped him in with what was thought to be the complete knowledge that the victim was unable to

Corey Davis into the river at Macquarie fields". Although LMW was only 10 years–old at the time the death of Corey occurred, he was thought to be
capable of "forming criminal intent" which means he was able of committing a crime.
The Prosecution relied mainly on evidence from both the police and unsworn (meaning the witnesses were not put under oath at the time their
knowledge of the events occurred) testimony of three young children. The first child was a 6 year–old boy who was thought to be with Corey and the

Pop Art In The 1960s
Years following World War II, the United States enjoyed an unprecedented period of economic and political growth. The Vietnam War incited mass
protests, the Civil Rights Movement sought equality for African Americans, and the women's liberation movement gained momentum. Entertainment
stepped into the new level with the monumental "super stars" such as Elis Presley led the emergence of Rock and Roll, Marilyn Monroe was a
reigning film star, and television replaced radio as the dominant media outlet. Yet by the late 1950s and early 1960s, a "cultural revolution" was
underway, led by activists, thinkers, and artists who sought to rethink and even overturn what was, in their eyes, a stifling social order ruled by
conformity. Following the transformation to "popular" of the world, the new art movement had occurred, Pop Art. Pop artists began to look for
inspiration in the world around them, representing–and, at times, making art directly from–everyday items, consumer goods, and mass media. When it
emerged in the 1960s, Pop art was not just about bold colors and celebrity culture; it brought the popular world–from cartoons and advertising to apples
and bananas–into the realm of high art, turning taste on its head in the process. It was in this climate of turbulence, experimentation, and consumerism

psychology and philosophy – each challenging traditional thought. Industrialization and the introduction of many new, challenging concepts in the
fields of politics as well as the development of new technologies gave artist more freedom to innovate and break the rules of traditional art. By using

can be drawn between Richard and devil, and how they both use casual possessed power and hidden power. Richard is like a wolf in sheep's clothing
and a silent killer.
"What black magician conjures up this fiend
To stop devoted charitable deeds?..
What, do you tremble? Are you all afraid?
Alas, I blame you not, for you are mortal,
And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil.–
Avaunt, thou dreadful minister of hell.
Thou hadst but power over his mortal body;
His soul thou canst not have. Therefore begone."(Act1,2.35–45)
This powerfully venomous quote from Lady Anne really reveals how she feels about Richard and how she wants Richard to know that she knows he
murdered her husband and father in–law. "...Dreadful minister of hell." is a powerful insult that shows the pain and anger from Lady Anne. This
phrase not only captures the essence of the of the entire scene, it also parallels a

Postmodern Art And Its Impact On Modern Society
Postmodern art is typically anti–establishment and rebellious, the beginning of postmodern art can be found in the late 1950's–1960's although the term
was first used around 1970. The movement differed from previous movements as it deliberately went against the rules, artists used many different
disciplines within one piece of work. A core value of postmodern art is that it is for everyone and tries to be a connection between art and everyday life.
Modernism triggered post–modernism, modernism painted a perfect life and used religion and truths as a way of life (e.g. Sigmund Freud and his
theories)
Modernist's artists concentrated on technique and the form of their artwork rather than complicating the process they preferred simpler more clarified
techniques.
After the second world war and the huge loss of communities of men and battalions the focus shifted rather selfishly on to the individual after all it
was still a dog eat dog world with the united kingdom very much still feeling the affects of the war. Rationing still continued and things where very
different compared to the USA where there country had not actively been affected by the war. While Britain was in the middle of an economic
downturn America seemingly progressed at a much faster rate. Individualism was to be propelled to the forefront of America youth with groups such
as Greasers and teddy boys now appealing to the youth. Rock and roll and Elvis was about to hit the scene and completely go against the

Memphis Three Stereotypes

  • 1. Memphis Three Stereotypes The Memphis Three might have been boys, but they took their sentence like men. In "Deal Frees West Memphis Three in Arkansas" by Campbell Robertson; he explains how the trial played out from start to finish. What angered the media was the horrible trial, the stereotype the Memphis three went under and the closing of the case. Justice was not served for the Memphis three. It is almost impossible for justice to be served when the trail was a mess. There was a 12 hour police interrogation of Jessie Misskelley. He is intellectually disabled, causing him to give a false confession. The police should have known the psychology of false confession and shouldn't have interrogated Mr. Misskelley for 12 hours. The sentences were based on hearsay testimony of witnesses who heard the boys talk about the murders: "...the defendant had been motivated as members of a satanic cult" (Robertson 4). Hearsay doesn't prove anything in the court of law. The jury is supposed to know nothing about the case; but of course one juror already had his mind set on his conviction. This juror ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This factor caused them to be the driving force of the investigation. The police reasons for them being suspicious was: they wore all black clothing, listened to heavy metal, and were teens. These claims were obviously pointless as Mecinda Smith a supporter even pointed out herself. She wore black and had long hair like Mr. Echols, there is no reports of Ms. Smith murdering any boys. People go through clothing phases and should not be mistaken as a satanic cult. Mr. Echols started "...believing he was singled out for being an outsider in a small town." (Robertson 5). When the head suspect knows he is being discriminated on just know there is something wrong. There was no evidence that the Memphis Three was a satanic cult. The police evidence against them was their appearance. There was no justice when a conviction is based on someone's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The Crucible Research Paper : West Memphis Three Crucible Research Paper : West Memphis Three The West Memphis Three terminology was birthed when three troubled, teenage boys were accused of brutally torturing and murdering three young, innocent boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, in May of 1993. Authorities had mounting pressure to find the culprits responsible for the unspeakable crime. In a very short time, the three teens were accused, arrested and then charged with the brutal crime. It was not Salem, Massachusetts, but a witch–hunt was going on in West Memphis. It was almost three hundred years later, but three teenagers had to feel like they were being treated like witches that had to be put away. Chris Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch were the three innocent eight year old boys who were on a bike ride adventure on May 5, 1993 and never returned home again. Family, friends and the entire community were mortified beyond belief. It was unspeakable what happened to the boys. Chris, Michael, and Stevie were found in Robin Hood Hills naked, bound and mutilated. Immediately, rumors began that due to the brutal nature of the crime, it had to be that of satanic doing. On the flip side of the above innocent youngs boys, there are the three very troubled teens that live in the same town. Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin. They were three well known teenagers in West Memphis Arkansas. The three teens had definitely made a name for themselves in their home town. There were rumors of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot in the head, execution style, at four separate crime scenes, also found at the crime scenes were three small children; a four–day old newborn baby, a six–month–old and a three–year–old, all three children were unharmed (Valencia, 2017). Per news reports, seven of the eight victims were in three homes while the eighth victim was found in a fourth home with the unharmed newborn baby (Valencia, 2017). The murders occurred during the night with all eight victims being murdered in their beds as they slept. The victims ranged in age from 16–years–old to 44–years–old and were... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Deductive reasoning draws from specific conclusions of general principles (Bartol & Bartol, 2010). Arrival at the crime scene and drawing theories from the scene would be the initial step of deductive analysis. Forming a hypothesis from theories drawn at the scenes would follow. The hypothesis here is; there are many aspects of this crime and unknown suspects that are obvious such as the sophistication of the attacks and the fact that the young children were spared, this alone aligns with criminals who are experienced and have a clear method of what they do. Observation of the multiple crime scenes and the way in which the family was killed leads to, this act of violence against this family showing as being business related and not personal. This is based on the fact that the victims were shot execution style while sleeping in their beds (Valencia, 2017). It is possible the marijuana grow operations are connected in some way to the killings. Due to there being more than one crime scene within close proximity to each other, there may be multiple assailants in this crime. The hypothesis drawn in this case can only be confirmed after an arrest of a suspect is made, this case remains ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Stereotypes In Paradise Lost Film To begin with, I can honestly say the filmmakers of this amazing Documentary "Paradise Lost" thought that these three young men Damien Echols, Jessie Lloyd Misskelly, Jr, and Jason Baldwin were mainly guilty because of the negative vibes throughout the entire movie. When these three defendants were in custody being interviewed the filmmakers were going back to back from interviewing to the crime scene, giving everyone an okay they are guilty look on their faces. Like when they were interviewing Damien Echols the camera kept turning off and going to the children's faces and what happened, also giving you his weird hobbies like listening to Metallic music, and drinking blood really trying to give you a shocking view on who's the main person on this case, showing that if everything goes down from painting nails, and hair black that Damien will Be guilty with no thought about it. Because of the stereotypes that he will get from the jury and public. However I would have to say yes I think he ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Misskelly imprisoned. He was very innocent in my eyes and there are many s I can support from the film that I can support my answer. Misskelly was always a family man that did nothing to anyone who rarely stayed to himself because people thought he was weird. He stated he was only at the woods with them and he grabbed the little boy as he tried to run off. Misskelly was only around the crime scene at the time this was all going down in the woods. The filmmakers wanted to say he was innocent but the evidence that the film was bringing up the director were also giving viewers bad thoughts about him such as, He has an IQ of 72 and, he takes maximum amount of medication. They also was trying to throw in a little thing that might help him out a bit like Misskelly was highly ADHD. So yes to sum all of that up the filmmakers thinks Jessie Misskelly is guilty in this ...

  • 5. Evidence In Paradise Lost Paradise Lost is a documentary that tells the story of three teenage boys that were accused of murdering Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Steve Branch. The three teenagers, Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin were convicted and sentenced to life for the murder of these three little boys. After 18 years of imprisonment, the state realized that they mess up and gave the chance for Misskelley, Echols, and Baldwin to declare themselves guilty. As a result, they were free, but still with hopes that things would clear out and they finally declare them completely innocent of the death of these boys. The case of the West Memphis Three was an example of an ineffective operating system. They didn't present all the evidence of the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They lacked evidence, their interrogation was improperly manifested, and not all evidence was used during the case. These kids spent most of their life in jail and they probably didn't do it just because they didn't receive a fair trial. Somewhere around this world is probably the real killer of the innocent kids. If people during this time period and city weren't all into believing in satanic rituals, then maybe the case would have taken different directions. All this case was basically based on prejudice towards the kids who were a little different than the other ones. The insane part is that there wasn't any physical and specific evidence presented to convict these teenagers to life imprisonment. In conclusion, the way the court approached this case show how ineffective and unfair an operating system could sometimes ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. The Exorcist Is One Wacky Series The Exorcist franchise is one wacky series. You had the amazing original film, which was one of the most intense horror films to come out at the time. Then, X years later we got the crazy, shitty Exorcist II: The Heretic, that had James Earl Jones flying on the back of a bug through the desert or something equally stupid. It wasn 't until X years later that we finally got a proper sequel, The Exorcist III, but that too was plagued with issues, with both Director/Author William Peter Blatty and the studio not agreeing on what they wanted as a final product. I haven 't even mentioned the even crazier Exorcist: The Beginning, directed by Renny Harlin, which was later re–released as the slightly superior version Dominion: Prequel to the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although the book tells you that Detective Kinderman was a big time friend with Karras, but honestly, I never felt that when reading the original The Exorcist novel. The story behind Legion focuses on a murder investigation involving the deceased Gemini Killer and Kinderman trying to figure who exactly is behind these most recent killings, which bear the true MO of the Gemini Killer. He eventually ends up interviewing a psych patient who says he is the Gemini Killer, but when Kinderman visits him, he is completely thrown for a loop when he sees the definitely should be dead Father Damien Karras, who is being possessed by the Killer. The rest of the novel, unfortunately, features pages and pages of Blatty 's theories on evaluation and random nonsense that has nothing to do with the main story. Honestly, the book ended up being awful because of that. When 1990 was approaching, a sequel to The Exorcist was being demanded.

  • 7. The West Memphis Three Case Analysis The Case of the West Memphis Three involves the three teenage boys accused and convicted of murdering Michael Moore, Stevie Branch, and Christopher Byers in West Memphis, Arkansas on May 5th, 1993. The investigation, trial, and appeals that followed would put the Arkansas criminal justice system under scrutiny for their actions. The West Memphis Police Department arrested and chargedJason Baldwin, Damien Echols, and Jessie Misskelly, Jr. with the three boy's murders. The entire case was under the constant watch of the media and brought a great deal of attention to the actions and conduct of the West Memphis Police Department, as well as the Arkansas criminal justice system. Many outsiders got involved with the West Memphis Three case. Among these outsiders were famous musicians Eddy Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, famous actors including Johnny Depp, and superstar director Peter Jackson. These celebrities helped to raise awareness of the case as well as to help raise money for the West Memphis three to obtain appropriate post–conviction representation and unbiased forensic testing and analysis in the hopes of exonerating them of their convictions. While the new forensic evidence (and the new testing and expert analysis of the original evidence) ultimately helped the West Memphis Three become free men again, the question still remains as to who really murdered those three boys on May 5th, 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas.

  • 8. Damien Hirst 's The On The Mind Of Someone Living The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living is a piece that was created by the artist Damien Hirst in the year 1992. In summary, it is a tiger shark that is preserved in a formaldehyde solution in a case of glass and steel. The case is separated into three parts, which most likely is because Hirst did not want the viewer to see and observe the piece as one whole dead shark. It is thought that this steel casing breaks the continuity of the shark and therefore, becomes less connectable as something familiar to the viewer. This shark is considered one of the most shocking pieces of American art. This is because this shark, for many people, seems to be a direct representation of death and is quite disturbing, and somewhat scary to look at, whether it be in person or in real life. Therefore, the belief stands that this piece is more a form of science than a form of art. The artist of the piece is Damien Hirst. Hirst is an English artist who was born in Bristol and moved to London when he was 19 years old. Hirst was raised in a Catholic household, and even had an early religious educational childhood. Later in his life, he pulls from this religious education as inspiration for his works. He got his Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College in 1989, which he later used to practice sculpture, painting, and drawing. After graduating, Hirst and his peers became part of a group called the Young British Artists, and they would be known for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

"He's served with a demand for alibi. As you heard him say today, his client was at a poker game. Well our theory is not that he personally did the killing. Our theory is that he hired someone else.

It can be considered a sculpture, a painting, a song, a movie, but it could also be considered a carefully thought out plan. Art lives through time, and among the criteria of what constitutes the "best" in Art is that it refuses to be forgotten. Da Vinci 's "Mona Lisa", Van Gogh's "Starry Night", or even Campbell's Soup Cans by Warhol have not, as of yet, been forgotten. Much like memorials, which are made with the intention of living through time by depicting a singular, particular moment of history. Art aims to be remembered, not forgotten.

But, he writes, that novelist Don DeLillo considered the acts of violence as "something grander" and "greater than the mere novel" (Appleyard 1). Appleyard also includes a quote from artist Damien Hirst, who had "gotten into trouble for saying something similar". Hirst had said, "[t]he thing about 9/11 is that it's kind of an artwork in its own right. It was wicked, but it was devised in this way for this kind of impact. It was devised visually... You've got to hand it to them [the terrorists] on some level, because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever thought possible..." (Appleyard 1). Superficially at least, Hirst's claim here praises the terrorists, not particularly for what they did but how they did it. Their plan, Hirst is saying, was like a work of art. Like many depictions of 9/11, such as "Falling Man", "September", or even the pre– 9/11 Twin Towers documentary Man on Wire, a film about a man, Phillippe Petit, who walks in between the two towers on a wire. During the film they were building the twin towers when Phillippe came up with his plan to walk in between them.

This exploitation of events to gain power was also present in Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible. Taking place in 1692, a time when religion was everything and the town preacher was authority, people were forced into the mundane, agricultural centered lives that had been handed to them by the previous generation (Miller 3). Children were "young adults" and seen as "thankful for being permitted to walk straight" (Miller 4). It was a small town they lived in and very few people were literate. Any information they came across was given to them by gossiping townsfolk or the preacher, Reverend Parris. Revered Parris uses the power that was handed to him to give himself a better name in politics. The witch craze provided the perfect moment to do so. He helped head the committee that determined the innocence of those convicted. By doing so he hopes to create a reputation for himself in politics.

According to Renato Poggioli writing in his The Theory of the Avant–Garde of 1962, "Like any artistic tradition, no matter how anti–traditional it may be, the avant–garde also has its conventions" (1981: 63). For the most part, such conventions have involved the desire to offend and shock and the methods for achieving such a desire have involved the attempts to 'transgress boundaries'. Indeed, over the past few decades, 'being shocking' has become among the most valued quality of artworks according to both collectors and critics of the visual arts (Harris, 2001). Thus we have witnessed artworks containing a plethora of strange elements such as plastic figures with penises for noses and additions of rotting meat while many themes and techniques have focused on self–exposure, sex and drugs and even bodily mutation.

The shark quickly embedded itself in the national psyche as an icon of everything that was good – or bad – about contemporary art, depending on your viewpoint (Sarah Kent). For most people, this shark was the icon of everything that is bad about contemporary art, if you can call it that. Does this man go out of his way to hunt a wonderful creature as the tiger shark? Slaughtering animals for no other reason, but so use them in art is despicable. Strong emotions are going through many individual's minds on Hirst's work, either good or bad. For this reason, Hirst was dubbed the "bad boy" of British art and scarcely a week went by without an article appearing in the press outlining his outrageous behavior (Kent). This exhibition is touching on the subject matter of death, with death itself in the "art".

Although LMW was only 10 years–old at the time the death of Corey occurred, he was thought to be capable of "forming criminal intent" which means he was able of committing a crime. The Prosecution relied mainly on evidence from both the police and unsworn (meaning the witnesses were not put under oath at the time their knowledge of the events occurred) testimony of three young children.

The Vietnam War incited mass protests, the Civil Rights Movement sought equality for African Americans, and the women's liberation movement gained momentum. Entertainment stepped into the new level with the monumental "super stars" such as Elis Presley led the emergence of Rock and Roll, Marilyn Monroe was a reigning film star, and television replaced radio as the dominant media outlet. Yet by the late 1950s and early 1960s, a "cultural revolution" was underway, led by activists, thinkers, and artists who sought to rethink and even overturn what was, in their eyes, a stifling social order ruled by conformity. Following the transformation to "popular" of the world, the new art movement had occurred, Pop Art. Pop artists began to look for inspiration in the world around them, representing–and, at times, making art directly from–everyday items, consumer goods, and mass media. When it emerged in the 1960s, Pop art was not just about bold colors and celebrity culture; it brought the popular world–from cartoons and advertising to apples and bananas–into the realm of high art, turning taste on its head in the process. It was in this climate of turbulence, experimentation, and consumerism that a new generation of artists emerged in Britain and America in the mid– to late–1950s.

The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways.

New developments were made in the arenas of the classical sciences, social science, psychology and philosophy – each challenging traditional thought. Industrialization and the introduction of many new, challenging concepts in the fields of politics as well as the development of new technologies gave artist more freedom to innovate and break the rules of traditional art. By using new materials, techniques and the new approach artists were pushing boundaries of what has previously been accepted art practice in order to invent radically new styles.

While humans may mentally comprehend, relate to, and be able to view death of living things around them, they are unable to completely know what it is physically like, which is portrayed in Damien Hirst's work "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living." The title of his work gives more meaning to the artwork itself, which applies to titles of other pieces of art, poems, books, or movies, as well. Many people say "not to judge a book by its cover", which is actually partly true.

  • 37. Richard, By William Shakespeare In William Shakespeare's Richard III, Richard is a devil that is walking amongst the masses. His desire for power is overwhelmingly confident and carefully planned out. Even though he has obstacles ahead of him, but Richard is determined do everything in his power to rule the throne. Throughout the progression of the play, Richard uses two forms of power, manipulation and misogyny, to accomplish his goal. This manipulations starting from the very beginning of the play and drives him until the end. Furthermore, through a close examination of scene from " The Exorcist" (1973) a closer parallel can be drawn between Richard and devil, and how they both use casual possessed power and hidden power. Richard is like a wolf in sheep's clothing and a silent killer. "What black magician conjures up this fiend To stop devoted charitable deeds?.. What, do you tremble? Are you all afraid? Alas, I blame you not, for you are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil.– Avaunt, thou dreadful minister of hell. Thou hadst but power over his mortal body; His soul thou canst not have. Therefore begone."(Act1,2.35–45) This powerfully venomous quote from Lady Anne really reveals how she feels about Richard and how she wants Richard to know that she knows he murdered her husband and father in–law.

The movement differed from previous movements as it deliberately went against the rules, artists used many different disciplines within one piece of work. A core value of postmodern art is that it is for everyone and tries to be a connection between art and everyday life. Modernism triggered post–modernism, modernism painted a perfect life and used religion and truths as a way of life (e.g. Sigmund Freud and his theories) Modernist's artists concentrated on technique and the form of their artwork rather than complicating the process they preferred simpler more clarified techniques.
