Reflection on Process

     During this process I learned a lot. I learned about how to search for reliable websites to use as sources and how to work independently. I realized that when I am writing about a topic of my own choice and interest, I can work a lot better and effectively. As disturbing as it is, I really, really loved learning about my topic and all the different components that go along with it. I now know that in order to create a reliable resource for someone else's work, you must gather information and knowledge from legit sources first. Going through this project has made me be able to be creative with my work: I can dig deeper into the topic by using very subtle words or designs to add to the effect. I liked this project a lot, and I would love for all my other projects to be just like this one!

Reflection Paragraph on Findings

     One of my biggest desires was to learn more in depth (compared to my previous knowledge on the topic) about ASP. I did! I wanted to know how it affected people and the symptoms of it. I learned that there are many different symptoms of the disorder, and that it cannot be proven as to how people acquire ASP. You can say that they are stages. I am sure that a scientist whose life is based on studying ASP has grouped the disorder's progressiveness into stages, but as far as I have researched, I have not had any direct statements saying there are proven stages. Serial killers diagnosed with ASP are more likely to kill at random rather than kill certain people for holding grudges or anything related to feelings and emotions. I learned about how they appear in everyday life to everyday people like you and me.

Finding Paragraph 3

     Who was Richard Chase? Richard Chase was not only a murderer; he was a cannibal. He drank his victims' blood. He was abused as a child, and his ASP symptoms started showing at an early age. He constantly did drugs and drank alcohol. He injected himself with rabbit blood, so his parents sent him to a clinic where they diagnosed him with schizophrenia. In 1976, they allowed him to leave the clinic because they believed he was sane enough to go. He was taken off medication also. In 1977 is when he started damaging humanity. He killed six people in a very short time period and was sentenced to a gas chamber as execution but overdosed on antidepressants before hand. This story brings up another name, Nannie Doss. Who was she? Nannie Doss killed 11 of her own family members. She was born in a poor family living on a farm. Her father was abusive and violent towards her and her siblings and her mother also. He forced Nannie to work the fields at a very young age. Once she started to grow up, she became thirsty for love and revenge. She remarried many times, mainly because she found a flaw in her new husband and decided to kill him. She killed silently, usually using poison.

Finding Paragraph 2

     Are serial killers aware of what they are doing? Are they aware of the consequences? A sociopath is considered legally insane (A LEGAL TERM FOR MENTAL ILLNESS OF SUCH DEGREE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER ACTS). Well, this is quite a controversial topic that many have pondered over. The law is the law, and there is nothing people can do about it. Rules are rules. There will always be a severe punishment for murder, but in some cases, such as when a killer has ASP, their punishment is not necessarily death or anything too awfully harsh. It is sometimes treatment. These sociopaths are aware of the consequences of murder, but they really just do not care. Something in their brain just does not click. They live purely for themselves in what some people might think of as a fantasy world.
