Audrey Gleave Murder Case- If Dogs Could Talk...

Who: Audrey Gleaves' two German shepherds.
What: People are wondering if these two dogs saw anything happen to their dead owner.
Where: Audrey Gleaves has been rumoured to being murdered in her own garage, where the dogs were unable to reach her. The two dogs are now being assembled in their new home with new owners and two unfamiliar dogs.
When: After Audrey's murder (December 2010), the dogs were taken away, and later adopted by a married couple.
Why: The two dogs were adopted again because their recent owner was brutally killed. The police wish that these animals could speak because they might know what happened during the murder. The dogs also performed DNA testing, probably to see if the murderer left behind a piece of hair or something symbolizing them. But no one knows for a fact.
How: The dogs played roles in the murder investigation; taking their blood and DNA samples, but the reason is undefined.
 I don't think this information changes what we knew before. I did however, find it interesting because we learned that one of the dogs doesn't like going into his cage anymore, as if he heard or saw something of Audrey's death, while he was locked away in there. Also, the dogs are adjusting to their new home apparently, but if their former owner was to be there with them at this moment, there is no way they would forget about her.

                        Explosion That Killed Many- An Accident?

                                      The Truth Comes Out 

By: Taylor M.

Panem, District 12- Seven courageous young men lost their lives in a serious mining explosion five years ago, in the year 2013., where they say it was not an accident at all. Many believe that they were killed for punishment, or it was just a simple, sinister accident.

            Many of the fathers that were killed left behind families, that received awards for their own courage. Two of these children, became best friends. Gale Hawthorne and Katniss Everdeen.

            Only five years later, the Capitol has been able to figure it all out. It was all due to a journal belonging to a witness, who was in the blasts that night. He tried to stop the miners from leaving early, there were others down the shaft. In a page of his journal, he wrote, “I can’t believe our bosses deserted us to fend for ourselves in this unsafe place.”

Men trying to find and assist a broken-bodied partner.

            But as they went, the witness miner stayed. Before he knew what was happening, the gas temperature was high, and the rubbing oil was thrown about. There he saw the flames that engulfed the lower shaft. There was no way to save them. Only time to save himself.

            There it took five years for the truth to come out about what happened at the mining site that killed so many. But even knowing this, the incident left many lives scarred.

 

" The Most Dangerous Game"

I think that General Zaroff 's game is utterly disgusting and morbid. The whole idea of hunting animals is for food. But the General started something more, he started hunting humans.
I do not think that I would be able to survive this game, because it involves a lot of stamina, which I don't have, and a lot of hand-eye coordination.
There may be a few people who would play such a game, but I don't think many would go that far and start killing random or targeted people just for sport.

It is OK to use people for entertainment purposes...

I think it is OK to use people for entertainment purposes because everyone needs joy and happiness in their lives. Even if it means they have to watch people do crazy things on the television or watch dramas to get  them going. It is OK for the people giving the entertainment, because they obviously get paid to do those things. That is sometimes why they do even if they don't want to read the scripts or perform the different acts. But usually it is worth it because of the money, and because of the people who want and get the wonderful entertainment. So yes, it is a good thing to use people for entertainment, because sometimes it is not all about the money.

Who: Audrey Gleave (73) a retired science teacher What: She was stabbed to death.
When: December,29/10 (2 a.m)
Where: In her garage on 'Indian Trail' in Ancaster.
Why: No one knows why she was murdered, or what went down between her and the killer.
How: (Stabbed) Her dogs were locked in her house, therefore, they couldn't protect her.

 The article that I wrote about, didn't really change my opinions anout Audrey's death. Saying that, I think she was somehow running from someone or something from her past. Why didn't she get a long with her mom?
Why did she use so many fake names?

No Standardized Tests!!

I do not think tests such as the literacy test, should be mandatory. It involves too much stress and studying. I also think that regular tests and quizes, cover the basic information and work that needs to be done and understood. There is no need for extra work, only the work that is needed to be done for classes.
