.... operate in one on one encounters. He/she does not involve other parties; the murderer encounters the victim alone and has no accessories in the killing. Third, the serial killer’s victims are secondary victims. There is little or no prior contact between the perpetrator and the victim. It is noted, though, that primary victimization can begin the serial killing process. Lastly, the killer has no instrumental or expressive motive. He/she is not doing the killing for material (instrumental) gain or emotional (expressive) satisfaction. Rather, the serial kill .....

.... abided by. All of the boys agreed to give the conch shell some power by only speaking when they were holding the shell in their hands. This power was personified by the statement “By the time Ralph had finished blowing the conch the platform was crowded.” Which shows how even early on, the group let the conch shell have power. The assembly moved towards dictatorship when Jack started to discredit Ralph and the conch. “And you shut up! Who are you anyway? Sitting there - telling people what to do. You can't hunt, you can't sing- .” I think that this stat .....

.... True Son spoke of his mother the Earth, his uncle the Moon, and his brother-in-law the Wind. In today's society we seem to concentrate on technology, while such oneness with nature is almost non- existent. As an author, Conrad Richter appears to be a skilled writer.
