Rather than making him "off-limits" to girls, which falsely puts the blame on them, he was a violent manipulator and used his age and "charm" to manipulate girls. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 19:05:02 -0400 Murderers are often very interested in small, irrelevant details. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574938 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574938 Besides the fact that curlers are identifiers, they were probably fascinated with the objects and buried them separately out of a fixation. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 19:02:40 -0400 Murderers aren't made that easily. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574936 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574936 Charles Schmid almost definitely "went wrong" far before that. Most murderers survived horrific child abuse, bullying, or have severe mental illness, or all of the above. Him not getting a job is a sign of mental illness, not a cause. Extremely few mentally ill people commit crimes, by the way! Wed, 14 Sep 2016 19:00:47 -0400 It's relevant because it shows us a motive for the murders. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574933 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574933 Charles Schmid is physically described to show the readers that he is not mentally sound. The murders were committed out of a power-lust and need to dominate others. In this case, with the sexual-driven murders of young girls. He shows abnormal ego behavior and would maybe be diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder, along with sexual deviancy and antisocial tendencies. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:58:01 -0400 The author uses a short sentence for shock factor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574931 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56139?scroll_to=574931 "When all that failed to pump up his ego, he killed girls." This sentence is short and to the point- it's blunt and harsh to shock the reader. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:54:57 -0400 The main idea of this article is to explain why the directed audience may find themselves fighting with their parents so much. https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557180 https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557180 The author explains that as a teenager, you may find that your parent's ideas and opinions clash a lot with your own. At the end of the article, the author provides some possible solutions for the reader. Tue, 30 Aug 2016 17:53:32 -0400 I think that the author is using this perspective of writing to make the article more personal to the reader/audience. https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557179 https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557179 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 17:49:02 -0400 "Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that, in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through." https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557178 https://nowcomment.com/documents/55691?scroll_to=557178 This is just one example from the text, but the repeated use of "you"/"your" implies that the author's writing is directed at the reader; a teenager.
