Essay Response to the Norway Massacre: The Killer’s Mind
Documentary (2-Page Essay Response)
It’s the world’s worst spree killing. Discovery Channel Norway
Massacre: The Killer’s Mind examines the terrible events of that day. In
90 minutes of madness, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik killed 69
young people. The film pieces together Breivik’s day of terror hour by
hour, from the time of the bomb he set off in Oslo, to the cold blooded
shooting of defenseless youngsters on the remote island beauty spot of
Utøya.
Who is this man, and what made him act? This film examines the
criminal mind and motives of one of the world’s worst killers, offering
psychological analysis, as the day of the massacre unfolds. It examines
his motives, analyzes his likely psychological journey through the
planning stages and over the course of the day itself and asks what drove
him to plan and carry out this massacre.
Was he a terrorist as he claimed, a madman, or was he indeed both? In
a detailed 2-page response, take a position and support your points
with evidence presented in the documentary, as well as your own
perspective on the idea of the serial killer’s mind.

You will also write about the core idea of the text as well as the details that support it and use at least one quote from the article to support your analysis.
