"The setting of the book, Killing Mr. Griffin was in more than one place. The whole book took place in a small serene town. But the main setting was at the kids' high school because that's where the crime was committed."\n\nIt probably takes place when it was written, in 1979, as it was a normal high school setting.\n\nhttp://www.edserv.sjcoe.net/we/discourse2/Griffin.html

This was my absolute favorite book growing up, I read it more than 20 times.\n\n1. It is ironic that Johnny and Ponyboy were involved in a murder because they weren't the ones who usually caused trouble.  They were minding their own business and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.\n\n2. Ponyboy had a problem cutting and dying his hair because hair was a major characteristic for 'greasers'.  It was something that distinguished them from the rest of the crowd.

The novel begins on April 18, 1800, in Port Mahon, Minorca, at that time a base of the Royal Navy. Aubrey and Maturin are both at the Governor's Ball and meet for the first time. Maturin nudges Aubrey while they are listening to the quartet and provokes a challenge to a duel. On his return to his lodgings Aubrey finds that he has been given a command. His joy overcomes any animosoty towards Maturin and they become friends. As 'Master and Commander' and in charge of the sloop Sophie Aubrey has to strengthen his crew including the ship's surgeon and he persuades Maturin to fill this position, at least on a temporary basis.\n\nHe changes the armament of the ship and improved her sailing by adding a larger spar. He makes her ready to sail in convoy with twelve merchant vessels. During their journey east, the new Captain takes the opportunity to get to know his crew and to weld them into a fighting unit. As he does he and the crew explain many naval matters to Maturin, since the doctor is a novice sailor.\n\nEn route, they meet an Algerian quarter-galley who attacks their rearmost vessel, the Norwegian Dorthe Engelbrechtsdatter. The Sophie chases her off. Eventually having retrieved the Norse ship the convoy makes its destination off Cagliari. After a second convoy duty to Leghorn, Aubrey reports to Lord Keith in the Genoa roads.

Pearl Bryan Murder\n\nBy Jim Reis-reprinted here with his permission from his book\nPieces of the Past-Volume I\n\nShe came to Cincinnati in 1896 hoping to marry the man whose child she was carrying.  Instead, the 22 year old country girl  from Greencastle, Indiana was drugged, taken to an isolated field in Ft. Thomas and decapitated.  Her head has never been found.\n\nShe was Pearl Bryan and her brutal murder is considered by many the most sensational crime in the history of Northern Kentucky.  Two dental students were arrested and convicted of the murder after a theatrical trial.  After a jail break, threats of public lynching and a last-minute flurry of telegrams between the Newport jailer and the governor, they were walked to the gallows in the Newport jail yard.\n\nScott Jackson held no hope of reprieve.  The 28 year old native of Maine was described by newspaper accounts as 5 feet 6 inches tall, with blond hair and cold, glittering steel gray eyes.  He was considered the mastermind of the murder.\n\nThere was hope, however, for Alonzo Walling, a 21 year old native of Mt. Carmel, Indiana.  He was 5 feet 9 inches tall, with dark hair and hazel eyes under heavy eyebrows that almost met.  Walling was considered a stolid and morose character with "little force of character, which made him all the more pliant tool of Jackson."  The governor had told Newport Sheriff Julius Plummer that if Jackson confessed on the gallows, including providing the location of Miss Bryan's head, he would spare Walling.\n\nAs they stood on the gallows, Plummer asked Jackson if he had anything to say before he was hanged.  Jackson said he did.  Jackson was the son of a transatlantic sea captain and had traveled extensively by the time he was a teenager.  When his father died, he moved with his mother to Jersey City, NJ and took a job with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.  His boss was charged with embezzling several thousand dollars and although Jackson was never charged with anything, he lost his job.  His mother later moved to Greencastle, Indiana.\n\nWhile visiting his mother in 1893, Jackson met Miss Bryan.  She was the daughter of a well to do farmer who lived near Greencastle.  She was described as a "Sunday school and church worker, sprightly and vivacious and a social favorite in her home."  She had "bright blue eyes, blonde hair that shaded to auburn, a pretty face, the almost flawless complexion of an unspoiled country girl."\n\nJackson and Miss Bryan were introduced by her second cousin, Will Woods, and they became friends, meeting whenever Jackson visited Greencastle. The relationship changed in the summer of 1895 and after Jackson left for Cincinnati, Miss Bryan "made a discovery."  She confided in Woods, who wrote to Jackson.  Jackson wrote back to Woods and told him "to tell the girl to come to Cincinnati."  She arrived by train at Cincinnati's Grand Central Station on Tuesday night, January 28, 1896.\n\nTwo days later, on a cold foggy morning, John Hewing was cutting across a field at the corner of Highland Avenue and Alexandria Pike in Ft. Thomas.  The property belonged to Colonel John Lock, Hewing's employer. As he walked he spotted a woman lying on the ground.  "I didn't know if she was drunk or dead" Hewing said later.  "Lots of women from the town used to come out there with the soldiers from the post.  It was a lonely spot and they often used it for a trysting place.  We had lots of women out of there who were drunk."\n\nHe told his employer about the woman, and a nearby deputy sheriff was asked to look into it.  The deputy sheriff and some others, including Coroner Bob Tingley, went to the spot and found indications of a struggle and a pool of blood at the woman's feet.  When Tingley turned over the body, he pulled her dress down, revealing that the woman's head had been cut off.\n\nOfficials searched the surrounding area for the he

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. He was the fourth U.S. President to be assassinated, and the eighth to die while in office.\n\nAn official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964, concluding that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. A later official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was conducted from 1976 to 1979, and concluded that Oswald probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of Kennedy assassination theories.
