I Was With ______ When ...... Chapter I I was with george in a small town that afternoon. We were playing horseshoes and we were betting on them horseshoes. As George leaned over the bench shot a glanceat me and said "Watch 'ya plannin' on doin' afterwards..." i told him i was going to hike over to the bunk house and have a short nap. I looked back at the playing area. I slammed down 5 bucks on the wooden betting table over player 1. I heard George yell and scream. 2 seconds later the player i bet on won and i won double. Content with my winnings i screamed over to George to tell him i was going back to the bunk house. George told me to wait up. We left the barn and ran over to see where lennie was. We both stopped straight in our tracks we saw something that almost made us faint. Chapter II In front of us stood lennie, he was standing over the slouched curley's wife and was mumbling "I've done another bad thing..." We asked lennie what the heck he did. He just stood there looking at us like we were some alien from a diffrent planet. He just started screaming and ran off in the distance. I told george we had better tell the gang this. We gonna get our hides whipped when curley finds out about this. A few minutes later when curley and the gang came over and saw this he said to george "You fat Son-of-a-*****" you killed my wife. I'm going to beat the living daylights outta you. George sensing curley's fustration moved back a few feet. George stammered " I didn't kill your wife it must've been lennie, The crazy idiot must've did it. he ran off when we ran to him ", " i don't believe you, you lying scoundrel's ll' pay for this'". I shook my hand at George to tell him to run. We suddenly dashed off into the distance. I heard curley yelling at us but we couldn't hear him in out fear of getting killed. Chapter III When we thought we lost curley a few shotgun blast hit the side of a tree as we dashed past it. We were both frightened as hell, but we kept on running for our lives. Another 2 shots rang out. As we were running we spotted a cave on the left hand side of the country road and dove in it. Chapter IV Inside the cave was a thin piece of some type of glass. It was glowing a deep red and looked like it was hollow. i put my hand in and it looked like it just dissapeared in the glass. I withdrew my hand in fright. I asked george what it was, he replied with a shrug of his shoulders. We then heard shotgun blasts again from the outside but this time it was much closer than the other blast. George said " We better dive in that whatever it is or we'll get ourselves shot ". With that he dived in the blank void. I jumped in after him. I saw a huge amount of swirling colours around me and then it disappeared. I looked at my surroundings. I saw huge metal boxes in the distance and desert sand all around me. the sun was in the early east which meant it must be sometime in the morning. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I whirled around and put my hand around the person's neck. " Ack. It's me man. George i not no alien." I released my hold. He went on " Whatever in that place may be ". I started to talk when George interuppted me. " Let's go and check them place out ". He started to walk, i followed along. A few hours laters. The metal boxes we had seen earlier were not as small as before they had rised way over our heads and were huge. We saw people like ourselves all around the streets walking. Funny thing though they were wearing funny clothing that seemed to stick to their skins. We also saw sliding pieces of glasses in the openings of the boxes. We approached a man standing on the street block carry a funny round object. We approached him. I asked him " Were's here? ". He replied in a strange language whichwe couldn't understand. He took out a small black box

Homicide essays

Homicide essays Homicide is defined as the taking of a persons life by another human being. There are five different types of homicide that have similarities and differences from each other that I am going to explain. There are many circumstances in determining what kind of homicide has occurred. Some of those circumstances include whether the crime was intentional, the age of the offender, the motive of the offender and the emotions that the offender is experiencing before the act was committed. According to the Bureau of Justice, the homicide rate doubled from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. In the 1980s, the homicide rate reached its highest rate at 10.2 per 100,000, and decreased to 7.9 per 100,000 in 1985. In the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the homicide rate increased to 9.8 per 100,000. Ever since, the rate has noticeably declined, down to 5.5 per 100,000 by the year 2000. As a result of writing this paper I will define, differentiate and explain the types of homicide, how the homicide is committed, and the consequences of committing the homicide, and give examples and court cases involving the homicide.
