Killing Mr. Griffin 200 Word Response
Question: What motivates people to murder? Is murder ever justifiable? Why or why not? What should society do to help bring down the murder rate? How should society educate and mediate murderers in society to prevent and reduce murders?
When the people were being treated badly when they were kids. Their parents were so disrespectful, careless, cruel, and ignorant as they were treating the kids like crap. It always happens when the parents get a divorce, abuse each other, and leaving their children behind. I wish that there were no serial killers in towns and countries. Like this story with that man who killed 26 people, and he really enjoyed it a lot. When he was little, he was smelling some dead animal bones, and that's when he truly realized that he wanted to kill people. He started slipping in school until he graduated when he was 18 years old. By the age of 20, he started killing people that was doing the wrong that he saw. So the man starts taking his victims in his house, and he starts killing them one by one. When the cops came, they suspected nothing until the smell caught the man. Afterwards he was sentenced to 95 years in prison. Society should track down these serial killers, and bring them some justice for what they've done to their innocent victims. Take the murderers to a rehab center, jail, or an juvenile center so that they can get rid of this problem they have that is affecting people. It's not right to kill innocent people like this, and if you see the person that is responsible for these crimes, call the police so they could be put away for good.

" The Best Thing I Did This Summer"
The best thing I did this summer is going to Summer Waves for a picnic a the boys and girls club. I also been chilling at St. Simon's beach too, but I didn't like the saltwater anyway. Some saltwater got into my mouth, and it tasted so nasty that I almost threw up. It was for a cookout for my friends birthday party. Then we went to her house to celebrate her birthday too, I had to go short because my dad had to go to work. Plus I went to a slumber party at a hotel over the summer, and I went straight to the pool so I could cool off a bit. Then my sister and I went to change in our sleeping clothes so we can go to sleep for bed. Finally I was hanging out at my friend Angelique's house. One time we went to her house and ate some crabs with butter on the side too. Man those were some good crabs that we ate. I also watch her babysitting her little cousins all the time too. The cousin babies are so adorable, and cute too. We also had my Aunt's birthday party, and we surprised her, the whole family did including me. She was crying and happy at the same time too, and I was happy for her that she was having a good time with all of my family so much. Well that's my story from this summer.
