1.-Express opinions, doubts, confusions, and convictions that come to your mind as you think about what you have read. Watch and write about how these things change over time. Include title of book, article, magazine, etc. that you are reading.

 

 

          For many years, there have been a lot of victims of murders around the world, people that kill innocent people just for money, revenge, and so on. I think that those crimes happened because in our society there are people that do not have any values, and the only thing that they want to do is to destroy other people's life. The question is: are people safe to murders?. This is the case of Scott Dunn, the person who disappeared,  and some days later, he was found on a terrible condition for he was tortured and murdered. For many time, police trying to find the murdered, but two years later police discovered that the guilty  person was her girlfriend . To sum up, I understand that in the world there are millions of not punished crimes, and nowadays murders are occurring more and more frequently. So this case helps people to understand the bad people are in everywhere, the only thing that everybody have to do is to take care of our lives as much as people can.
