“Teen suspect in fatal Conn. stabbing remains under suicide watch” Fox News. Fox News Network, 2 May. 2014. Web. 2 May. 2014. <http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/05/02/teen-suspect-in-fatal-conn-stabbing-remains-under-suicide-watch/>.
A teen in Connecticut was put on suicide watch until his hearing on June 5th. The teen allegedly went in to a Connecticut high school during prom and stabbed a girl to death. They believe the motive is that the girl would not go to prom with him.
This event related to some of the Shakespeare plays. Throughout all of the plays there is senseless killings that have weak motives.
This article is crazy. I do not see why someone would react to rejection so hard. I also feel like this even is tragic because two lives of young people are gone forever. The girl may have actually lost her life but the guy has also lost his life because he will probably be in prison a long time.
This event affects me in a few ways. It makes me realize that events that take place can cause very dramatic effects on people. Maybe the girl was rough in the way she rejected him and all of this could have been stopped before it started.
What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text?
The author’s point of view is to inform. The author uses very few emotional words. The author said Plaskon was arraigned Tuesday at a medical facility, where his attorneys say he's been undergoing psychiatric evaluation.”(Fox News). The author uses no emotion in this sentence at all. Also the author has no emotion in this sentence “Christopher Plaskon appeared in Milford Superior Court Friday, one week after he allegedly killed classmate Maren Sanchez in the hallway of Jonathan Law High School in Milford.” The informative side of this article makes it hard to relate to.
