He is notorious for the monstrous ways he slaughtered his victims. He saved the skulls and other various body parts of the victims in his fridge and a freezer. He would drill holes into his victims" heads and later had sex with the decomposing bodies. In writing "Jeffrey Dahmer, Cannibal", Cannon intended to prove the decadent behavior of Dahmer. The point Cannon tries to make evident in the article states the following: "Over 13 years, mostly through the excessive 1980s, Jeffrey Dahmer, alone in his poisoned world, was monstrous, repulsive, depraved." .
Cannon begins her opening paragraph by revealing a brief history of Jeffrey Dahmer. She generally focused on Dahmer's way of life and the way he treated his victims before and after their deaths. Cannon states: "In his putrid, one-bedroom apartment in Milwaukee, he saved painted skulls and severed heads, including one stashed in the fridge next to a box of baking soda. He had a kettle and a freezer of body parts. He stored torsos in a vat of acid. He drilled holes in his victims" heads and had sex with dead bodies. He chewed on body parts, once using Crisco and meat tenderizer on a biceps." This brief opening paragraph is an introduction to who and what Dahmer was. She illustrates to the reader Dahmer's apartment and his criminal acts by means of details which appeal to one's senses", including smell, taste, and sight. Not only does Cannon introduce Dahmer in such ways, but also itemizes the body parts and includes a quotation that confirms he was later incarcerated. "He was objectively judged to be sane. He did what he did with his wits intact. "He was a man who made a decision that he would satisfy himself," says E. Michael McCann, the Milwaukee district attorney who put Dahmer away in 1992.
