Here's my intro. I just wanted to know is it good and do I need to change something or correct? Revising it if OK...

Topic: Murders Motivation ( Meaning of Life )

Blood, Fear and Pain... the stare of a cold-blooded person chills you from your backbone... How can a murderer end someone's life so easily? Can murder be enjoyment? "what is extraordinary is that there are no multiple shooting and only one shot per victim.' So his enjoyment is not in killing. He is killing for effect.He doesn't care who the victims are." (Butterfield, Fox. "Sniper appear to want to create, not pain." The New York Times,152 (Oct 12, 2002) : A19 (L) Student Resource Center - Gold Quoted from James Alan Fox, a professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University in Boston who has written books on serial killers. Out of all the murders of a serial killer... Is there any meaning in a murder's life? Do they see any meaning in their lives? Do they even value life at all? Is there a goal in life? Is it just to have revenge or just kill?

Thanks :)

It's difficult to know what are your ideas and what are someone else's by what you have posted. It would be helpful if yo could differentiate between the two.

Thanks!

Hello, Sunnywootxp!

I hope that I'm correct in assuming that your statement in your original post was to be "Revising it is ok." So, here is a revision as well as some suggestions. I hope that they are helpful to you!

Topic: A Murderer's Motivation or the Meaning of Life According to a Murderer

Blood, Fear and Pain

The stare of a cold-blooded person can chill you from your backbone. Revised:The following questions come to my mind concerning the motivations and feelings of a person who commits murders. How can a murderer end someone's life so easily without feeling much, if any, remorse at all? Can murder be enjoyment? Do murderers see any meaning or value to their own lives or the lives of those they kill? [Edited out and revision of repeated question. Combined three separate, very similar questions into one question.] Is murdering a form of revenge or just about killing - or both? I don't think that "Is there a goal in life?" is necessary. I think that you have asked enough questions. Whatever goals a murderer might have in their own life can fit in with an answer to the question about meaning and value. James Alan Fox, a professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University in Boston, MA who has written books about serial killers, states the following: "What is extraordinary is that there are(is)(?) no multiple shooting(s)(?) and only one shot per victim. So, his enjoyment is not in killing. He is killing for effect. He doesn't care who the victims are." from "Sniper appear[ed] to want to create, not pain." The New York Times,152 [Is the foregoing a number of a volume or a page?] (Oct 12, 2002) : [Is the following a page and section number?] A19 (L) Student Resource Center - Gold

You could also put at the end or someone after your questions that you hope to come to some logical conclusions concerning answers to your questions in your paper.

This is just a research paper and not an essay or thesis of some kind. Correct? I mean, that your not trying to state a position of some sort that you have and then try to prove why you maintain the way that you feel or think about your topic and questions. Correct?

Hi I am not sure if its enough space here to put it...
here it goes...

Psychological Study of Murder Motivation

Blood, Fear, and Pain…
The stare of a cold-blooded person can chill you from your backbone. How can a murderer end someone's life so easily without feeling much, if any, remorse at all? Can murder be enjoyment? Do murderers see any meaning or value to their own lives or the lives of those they kill? Is murdering a form of revenge or just about killing or both? “True! – nervous – very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! But why will you say that I am mad? (Poe, “Tell” 1) Human nature is a balance of light and dark, Most of the time is maintained in balance; however whenever there is a shift for something that has happen it may change a person.
In the psychological study of murder motivation, Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart tells a story of a murderer who kills an old man. His motivation was not revenge nor desire for money, but was it fear of the old man's blue eyes. In all the minds of murderer they all have the same motivation and action. Why does a person kill? “… it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that a vulture – a pale blue eye, … Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees – very gradually - … made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.” (Poe, “Tell” 1) Once a person felt something that can harm them most people tries to back away from it or get rid of it. In Tell-Tale Heart the narrator was obsess with the “evil eye” , plans and observed the old man sleeping every night waiting a good chance to kill the old man. Trying to get rid of his “evil eye”. Many people ask his question, “Why will you say that I am mad?” (Poe, “Tell” 1) However the narrator uses his insistence that he is not mad. For what reason did he killed the old man? Just to get rid of the old man's evil eye?
Many people ask the question “What is the meaning of life?” but nobody knows, some says human exists just to live and die or for the greater good of earth. In a murderer mind how can they see the meaning of life? “So his enjoyment is not in killing. He is killing for effect. He doesn't care who the victims are” (Fox, “New” A17) It was the eye that motivate the intention. “Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye!” (Poe, “Tell” 1) One gaze upon the old man evil eye made his decision to kill him. The moment the stare at him he felted he been cursed by the old man evil eyes. An eye for eye “… I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever” (Poe, “Tell” 1) Taking away someone's life so easily just to get rid of yourself from madness of a gaze of an old man eyes. It was fear that motivate in killing the old man.

“When I had waited a long time, very patiently, without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open a little – a very, very little crevice in the lantern. … you cannot imagine how stealthily, … - until, at length, a single dim ray, like the thread of the spider, shot from out the crevice and full upon the vulture eye. It was open … and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness – all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones; but … could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: … directed the ray, as if by instinct, precisely upon the damned spot.”
For every murderer thinks they had finish killing the victim and cross the other side of the river and free themselves from their murder. Every murderer has there ways of hiding the corpse. The narrator putted the corpse under the planks. Each murderer have there suspicions but being way to suspicions can cause a person to be in panic state. “O God! What COULD I do? I foamed -- I raved -- I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder -- louder -- louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not?” (Poe, “Tell” 5) Once a person murders someone else they could be hearing noises, having dream or seeing things. It is their conscience that's telling them what they had done. “They heard!—they suspected!—they knew!” Despite his having, as he thought, destroyed the “Evil Eye” and having concealed all the evidence of the crime, he cannot rid himself of the fear that these three men know his secret deed, that their ears have heard the throbbing heart, and that their eye has penetrated through the darkness of the night to find him out.” (Tucker, “Southern” 4)

Some murderers keep on killing and killing it takes away the suspicions and panic. And eventually they turn into a serial killer. Someone whose life start with killing will end with killing only. Unless they stop them. In all minds of murderer they all have the same motivation and action some will keep killing or some will go into madness.

Nice I have space... You can just tell me how's the paper.. good or bad :)
Thanks a lot
