Name: Emma Glavatchi In the heat of the night In the beginning of this story Gillespie thought of Virgil as he would of thought of any other coloured person, but as soon as he found out that he was wrong, Virgil was a very gifted detective with lots of skills. When Tibbs was first taken in to see Gillespie, Gillespie was yelling and screaming at Tibbs for no reason but Virgil did not break down to the harassment and proved Gillespie wrong by showing him his ID card that proved he was a cop. I think that Virgil earned a little respect from Gillespie , by showing him that he was calm and mature. As the story unfolded Gillespie saw more and more of Virgil’s good qualities. Gillespie saw that Virgil was calm, educated, smart, paid attention to detail, and was good at his job.
Harry develops a “code” which consists of a formal set of rules used to enact justice on criminals who have evaded punishment by finding loopholes in the justice system. As Dexter grows into adulthood, he continues to kill by “Harry’s Code”. Yet his passion for enforcing death creates disconnect from the real Dexter Morgan and the societal norms that he is required to abide by in able to avoid detection. These conflicting interests develop an interesting and entertaining psychological cocktail. I believe that Dexter Morgan suffers from Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Therefore, I try to dig out every clue that causes his motives to kill people and every detail that built up his personalities so that it would help me understand why a genius becomes a villain. “Understanding the mindset of a psychopath is very important in order to understand why a criminal would not feel the need to justify his or her transgressions; psychopaths do not believe that they are doing anything abnormal or morally inept” (Siler 3).

WALKING WITH THE DEVIL 1 Walking With The Devil WALKING WITH THE DEVIL 2 Michael Quinn, in his book, Walking With the Devil, provides a vivid portrayal of the code of silence within the police sub-culture. He not only gives profound and impacting examples of the dire consequences which can ensue because of the police and their loyalty to the code, but provides the reader with the understanding that individuals working within the scope of law enforcement can move beyond and prove to be a leader by example and by breaking the code. Mr. Quinn comes from a long line family members, of whom, have worked within law enforcement. His father, in particular, was a police officer for over forty years and one must assume that Mr. Quinn gained valuable insight and was given a prime example of what it takes to be a productive and effective officer. It seems, as evidenced through his writing, that he whole-heartedly believes the police code of silence to be a detriment, not only to criminals, but to the officers themselves.

Critique Essay on In Cold Blood In every murder case, no matter how perfect the crime may seem, clues are always left behind. Whether it is a lost bullet shell casing or a partial fingerprint, these criminals unknowingly provide for their own demise and capture.

This book is one such story based on a murder in 1959. The novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, the murder of the Clutter family is viewed from the perspectives of all characters within the novel and this successfully creates a creative impression and layers of suspense to the story.
