His armed robberies across the Midwest and his escape attempts as well as his control over the boys at the school were all prime examples of this need for domination. .
The doctor's report went on to say that his circumstances as a child had left Charles with an innate urge to constantly compete with every boy at the school. Manson was a very tough kid that had had a very tough childhood, but had not yet given up on finding someone to love. He had a very hard outer shell that had protected Charles his entire life, but on the inside he was a lonely boy that just wanted someone to love (bdrum.com, 2004).
Charles Manson, was born with the ability to control others' thoughts and actions in a very decisive way. He also cared greatly for the environment and was even more concerned with the direction society was headed (Williams, 2004). I believe that if Manson had been raised in a "normal- household, he would have accomplished many great things as possibly a politician. While Manson was very radical, even insane, with his beliefs about society and the environment, and I believe that this is what would have made Manson very special. He was a man with an uncanny ability to control others' thoughts, that believed in something so greatly that he would lay down his life for them. Look at any great man throughout history and they have these strong characteristics. George Washington could keep his men's hopes alive while they slowly froze and starved to death during the frigid winters at Valley Forge. If Manson had only been given a chance to go to school and make something of himself, I believe that there would have been great things from him, but instead he was born to a drunken whore in a one room apartment and this is what his mother created. .
After being released from the training school in 1954, at the age of twenty, a new chapter in Manson's life began. He had been stealing things constantly for as long as he could remember.
