IR, 3rd post, Do Now

Prompt 1-

 

There are many intriguing questions and issues Cat and Mouse raises., especially with the famous murderer Gary Soneji.  He has murdered may innocent civilians and has not been caught once.  Some newspapers have named him Mr. Smith, while others call him Alien.  They call him Alien because they don’t believe that anyone human is capable of completing these unsolved murders.  Gary continues to recite that he read many murder books growing up, but the only difference between him and those characters/authors is that he is not crazy.  How can he not be crazy when he plans out murders that cannot be solved?  His first murder was when he was 15 and he buried a man at a farm and still to this day the man’s body is there.  How does he pick the people he wants to murder?  He claims to hate them and never forgets a thing he learns about them.  When Gary wants to kill someone the name is on his mind for days and days and is written not only in his brain, but in his heart as well.  How can he not call himself crazy?  And why is killing Alex Cross about to be his best murder of all?  What makes this murder so much better and different then the other murders he has pulled through?

Do Now, Final Speech, Good Bye Wissahickon :)


I would start off by congratulating everyone who graduated and wish everyone luck in their upcoming years on whatever path they decide to take their life next. I would share fond memories that will be with me for the rest of my life from Wissahickon; field hockey team, lacrosse team, the first day of high school, and teachers that meant a lot to me and made school worth going to. I would advise everyone to just hang in their even though times will get tough; were on our own now. I would tell everyone that I hope tons of happiness, good memories, and luck to come their way. I will make sure to let everyone know to not forget his or her roots here at Wissahickon and to stay safe. Then I would finish up by congratulating and wishing the best of luck once again to everyone.
