The historical event that I chose for the second project is the Charles Manson killings and my idea for the point of view in which I will be creating will be the girl next door. An outsider but was able to read the newspaper and here the rumors around town and knew what Manson and his followers looked like.
My character is a teenage girl, Casey O'Hare, who is living in her parents house with an older brother and younger sister. She is an average fourteen year old with long dark curly hair and green eyes. She is just starting high school and tends to keep to herself a lot of the time. Although she is shy and doesn’t have very many friends, she always knows how to get what she wants. She is drawn to the darker things in life, like death, scary movies and cold weather. When the killings start happening she is very interested in all of it, such a large crime in a small town.
Before starting any research on Manson, I knew that I shared a birthday with him, November 12th. He is still alive, in jail and he had killed many people, I knew he had some connection with bands like White Zombie and Marilyn Manson but I recently found out that they have done covers of his songs. I know that he has had children and wives but I want to learn more about them as well as his background and where Manson came from. I also need to research the murders and his followers. Why did he kill the people that were murdered and who were the victims, did he know them or kill at random?
