Jack the Ripper
Mary Anne Nichols
Tyler Thompson
I have heard the name before, but I had never heard an actual story. The constant mystery would continue, wondering who this man would be. It was very easy to understand why Jack the Ripper would go for prostitutes, they were just easier to get a hold of as well. There have always been theories of course of who it may have been, but of course, the confirmations were not true.

This article is simply unsettling, the fact that the killer was never caught just builds the questioning of his motives. One aspect of the article I felt was wrong was how the author simply blamed Mary for her own death, as if she asked to be mutilated by being intoxicated. No matter the professions and lifestyle choices of these women, they did not deserve the inhumane acts that the Ripper performed on them.

As soon as I read “Jack the Ripper” I knew I had to click on it and I am glad that I did. I never knew the story behind him but I had heard the name before. This was a very well written article and gave a good history behind Jack. It is crazy that he went to prostitutes for victims. No one really cared as much for those people because they were prostitutes, but I think no matter what you chose in life you should never have to face the things those women faced with Jack.

This article was extremely in depth and the writer did and excellent job. Jack the Ripper is probably one of the most intriguing mysterious of London. I like how the writer talked about the first victim Mary, and gave us background information on her. The writer was very descriptive and really brought the story of Jack the Ripper to life.

Within the article “Jack the Ripper’s First Victim” the article was very interesting however the article was somewhat lacking in a constant theme focus as the article itself is a wonderful read, the title is somewhat misleading as it leads the reader to believe that the main focus of the article will be on the first victim and not other victims and jack the ripper himself. Other than that it was a very interesting read.

This article is an interesting read, although the title was a bit misleading it was interesting founding out the details of other victims of jack the ripper. it was a bit confusing as half way through talking about Marys death he said Nichols body was found, but didn’t really expand on that. other then that i really enjoyed hearing about londons most infamous serial killer.

This article was extremely interesting, even though a bit eerie. But, that’s why I love this article and many other crimes ones like this, due to the creepy aspect of these insane serial killers. And especially the fact that Jack the Ripper was never caught, and there was no justice for these murders, is also a creepy thought. I also think it’s creepy how all of the murders were connected, being murders of young women, mostly prostitutes. This shows that this killer, whoever he was, had a specific target in mind, which makes the idea even more eerie. Furthermore, the sad fact of this whole story is the fact that there was no justice for these poor women, who mutilated in the worst ways immangiable. In addition to no justice, this occurred over 100 years ago, so the possibility of no hope for justice to be served for these poor victims is the main horror to this story.

I had never before heard this story, or anything related to it. I feel for Mary Ann, and every other victim of this heinous killer. The women he killed underwent unspeakable torture and were treated as if they were animals. The fact that the murderer’s identity was never uncovered sends chills down my spine. It’s upsetting that his victims will never get the proper justice.

Interesting article. Jack the Ripper has always been fascinating to me and I never knew who the women that was his first victim was. Overall this article was interesting in the information it provided about the investigation of Jack the Ripper. I really enjoyed the background you gave Mary and how her death was handled by the police. Its fascinating to see how the police at first didn’t really think anything about the murders but as time went on they actually noticed a pattern and had to investigate. Jack the Ripper was a psychopathic serial killer who was never caught and that’s really chilling to think about even today.

This article instantly caught my attention when I saw it had Jack The Ripper’s name in t;he title. I like how you gave a background to Mary and described what her occupation was and its importance as to how it made her such an easy victim. It was also great to be able to learn about Jack’s first victim and where she came from in detail down to the last person she spoke to. There was great detail and much in-depth explanation in this article.
