Serial killers can kill while their on the job, and innocent people are killed everyday. The case about Joseph Dewey Akin and Robert J. Price is very interesting but it’s not really fair, because Akin should’ve been locked up if he had been killing people for over a decade. When he finally went to jail he should’ve got more than 15 years. A serial killer is a person that murders 3 or more people in short period of time. It is said that serial killers suffer from some form of antisocial personality disorder. Serial killer entered the popular vernacular in large part do to the widely publicized crimes of Ted Bundy and David Burkowitz in the years of 1970.
The reason why I want to do my writing on unsolved murders is because I think that it’s interesting and I want to learn more about it. There are many people in the United States who have died, yet have not been avenged for their unsolved murders. I know for a fact that we have a lot of unsolved murders that are under investigation for years and still remain to be solved. In my writing, my main focus is about a serial killer named Joseph Dewey Akin and a victim named Robert J. Price.
Joseph Dewey Akin was a Nurse at Copper Greene Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. He was only 35 years old and for over a decade, investigators suspected him of over 100 deaths in 20 different facilities in which he worked (Code Blue Junkie). He had been suspected of causing many Code Blue medical emergencies in Alabama; he also participated in crimes surrounding hospitals around the metro Atlanta area. When he was working in Georgia, the emergencies at one hospital were unusually high. He was arrested for giving Robert J. Price an overdose of lidocaine. Akin did not go to jail for that case because the Price family was billed for the lidocaine. “Another retrial was scheduled for March 1998, but two months before it was to begin; he had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was given 15 years in prison”.
Joseph Dewey’s victim Robert J. Price was a 32 year old Quadriplegic who was killed in 1992 from an overdose of lidocaine. His assigned nurse, named Marion Albright, had gone out for lunch. Upon returning, she saw Joseph Dewey Akin walking out of her patient’s room. When she was trying to go and check on Price, Akin was trying to prevent her from doing so. When she finally went in, she saw Price laying there and immediately called for help. When the emergency team came, they found a blocked ventilation tube that was stopping him from breathing. The bill that the Price family had received for the lidocaine was a false bill. So the case of Joseph Dewey Akin continued for 6 years and he was never arrested for Price’s death.
Lidocaine was first called xylocaine. Nils Lofgren invented it and tested the first anesthesia on him in 1943. In 1948 it was used on other people. The elimination half-life lidocaine is approximately 1.5-2 hours in most patients. It alters depolarization in neurons, by blocking the fast voltage gated sodium channels in the cell membrane. Lidocaine has been shown to relieve postherpetic neuralgia in some patients. But it is not enough study evidence to recommend it as a first line treatment.
I wish it was something to do that could stop people from wanting to kill other people. I would like to know what a serial killer thinks about when they feel that it’s a time to kill someone. I wonder if they think that the whole world is after them or if their jealous and want someone else to feel their pain. And innocent people shouldn’t have to die because of someone else’s illness. Most serial killer’s are bipolar and schizophrenic, schizophrenic people here voices and will attack anything in their way.

I'm still reading the same book and Jamella has found a man that she doesn't really like but he has money and he really likes her. She is trying to find ways to make herself like him because she really wants to be in love with someone, and she is tired of being her bestfriend and her bestfriend husband third wheel.

When the story talked about the Kaatskill mountains and how they dismembered branch of the great Appalacian family and the way it swells up to a noble height, It produces some magical hues and when it glow and lights up like a crown of glory, I find that to be romantic because it sounds like their alone and the way that it lights up like a crown of glory it sounds like it's only for a couple in the mountains. Their focusing on nature and using their imagination to get their mind off their regular life.

In This poem when it say's the great tree that used to shelter the quiet little Dutch Inn of yore, that is also romantic because it is a shelter in a tree and it's quiet. This is Romantic because it is made for only a couple.

I think that the Thanatopsis poem is talking about life after death . It's saying you leave the world and you go to another life. Something like paradise , and in that life things are good and you don't have to worry about anything. And I think that this poem is romantic because their at a waterfall and theirs nobody around.

The ropewalk poem is talking about a circus and how people sets up for a circus. The person who is writing the poem is talking about how dull his job is and how he is using his immagination to get away from his real job. He is talking about what all a rope can do and immagining that the rope was used for regular people doing something else with the rope, for example he is talking about a little boy flying a kite. In the picture the people look bored and dull. It's not many people in the picture. This poem is a good example of romanticism because the person who wrote the poem is using his imagination to get away from his boring dull job.

I think that the video is trying to tell everyone that is afraid of death is to not be afraid of dying and it will be better in the ground instead of on the earth. It is saying it will be cleaner and people who wouldn't speak to you while you were alive will accompany you when you die. In the poem it say's "thou shalt lie down patriarches of the infant world-- with kings, the powerful of the earth-- the wise, the good, fare forms, and hoary seers of ages past, all in one mighty sepulchre" it is talking about when you die those are the people you will be with and everyone will be the same and will be treated the same. The romantic part of this poem is when nature talks and tells how it is when you die and tells how soft her voice is so soft and how she is happy, that is what I thought was romantic because listening to nature and being alone is romantic.

The picture is big and it doesn't look like it's in the city. To a person that lives in a city with dead horses outside their window would see this and imagine things because they never seen anything like it because their only used to living where they live at. and this picture looks pretty and quiet it doesn't have anyone in it and it just looks romantic.

The picture that I chose is a picture of people looking out into the ocean and the artist of this painting made it look like it was really big, it was drawn to skretch your imagination a little further. It has sailboats all the way in the back to make it look as if the people in this picture has never seen this before and their using their imagination that's why the picture looks so big because their trying to look at everything at one time.

I'm still reading the book Called Love is Never Painless, In the book the girl name Jamella is tired of being alone and she wants a man of her own. and her friend is still trying to make her relationship work. Jemella cries everyday wanting someone to love her.

Dodge Viper

This is a picture of a Viper. This is the new snake skin Viper, that’s the name of the car. It’s a sports car, and it’s a two door, it’s small so it can go fast. I like sports cars because their small and I like this picture because it’s green and the trees are green. One day I want to be able to buy myself a green Viper.
This viper is green with black stripes. The reason why I chose the green Viper over another color is because green is my favorite color. This is a snake skin type of green. It looks like a snake because the way the front of it is made, the hood of the car looks like a snake head. The black stripe on the car brings more attention to the car because it’s unique and makes you think about a snake more. The color really stands out on the car because it’s a bright green. But I think green and black really looks good together.
The car is not a family car because it can only fit two people. From the outside of the car I can see vents to let air go into the engine. The tires are big and the car is smaller so I can tell that it’s not an average family car and that it looks like a sports car. It’s a 6 speed manual so it’s a stick shift. The wheelbase is 98.8 in. the length is 175.6 in. the height is 47.6 in. and it holds up to 16 gallons of gas. In Clermont Florida the car is $83,895.00.
It goes from 0 to 60 mph. in 4 seconds. But the top speed of a Viper is 200 miles per hour. It also is said that the Viper can 0-100-0 mph in just above 12 seconds. The Viper has changed from the Michelin Pilot sports to a new tire. The tire on the viper is not the same because the new tire works better, is more reliable and has more support. Another half-degree of caster was added to help stabilize the car. The result is a sensitive and responsive handling package that never wallows or in a corner. With a top speed of over 200 mph, the new Viper is one serpent to be reckoned with.
In the background of this picture you can tell that the car is moving fast because of how the trees and the road look. The shadow on the road makes the car looks like its going fast because it looks blurry. But the car looks like its standing still. I think that the photograph was made to show people that the car goes fast and to pursue people to buy the car.
It was a lot of effort in taking this picture and just by looking at the picture and how it looks like its going so fast, the way the picture makes the background look like its blurry made me more interested in the car. I learned that the Dodge Viper is a 6 speed manual, which is something I didn’t know at first. I like this car more because it’s very fast and it goes from 0-60 mph in 4 seconds. And I also I like this car is because its small, it’s a two door, and it’s a stick shift so it’s made for racing.
