Confessions of a murder suspect

Last when I left of explaining some of what happened now I'm going to start this blog off of where I left off on the other blog. The officer came out of the parents room after a while. When everyone in the house was gathered in the living room. He was about the most scared person in that house. The interior decor that they had chosen from the family bothered the officer maybe even creeped him out. But to them this was home nothing would ever change that. Since the children and the person who worked with the parents weren't crying their eyes out they were considered suspects in their own home. The kids said that they were scared and sad on the inside, but their parents were bad people and they understood that. Yes, losing someone close to them, someone they loved dearly murdered. They'd expect it.. just didn't know when.

I predict that the assistant is the one that killed the parents. I mean the kids l i ved their oarents dearly whether or not they were bad parents or not. When the cop was in the room with them she didn't seem very sad.

Confessions of a Murder Suspect Blog

I started reading the book Confessions of a Murder Suspect. The author is James Patterson. This book is about a family whose parents just got brutally murdered in their own home and everyone is a suspect. it was late night when there came a pounding at the door. Only one child awoke from their sleep. That was because their room was right next to the door. It answers it and it's the police. They say that there has been a murder here at this residence and comes in. The child goes to the parents room and not knowing they are dead, but just trying to find some answers. When the door to the parents room opens the child sees the parents dead with blood splattered everywhere. This kid is not like most. They are in shock, but they cannot break out with tears. Of course they are sad and hurt and scared, but for the life of it they can't react as much. This one child goes and wakes everyone up and wonders who killed them. The doors were locked and it was only the parents, the moms friend, and the kids. Somethings missing here. Like how come nothing happened to the kids? These are the things they wondered. The two police officers seemed like a good cop bad cop situation. When everyone was in the living room. One officer came out and was shock because no one was crying or screaming about their parents getting murdered in their own home. The officer was probably freaked out by that the most. Now I'm going to save the rest for the second blog. I'm going to transition into my predictions.

So far I'm pretty confused as it is either it was one of the kids or the only other adult. But, everyone was sleeping. Maybe there could've been a open window or I don't know. From the way the book described it, it looked like they were trying to get away. As if they knew they were going to die. My confusion comes from this I've seen a show called killer kids and when a child kills their parents one is going to be sound asleep and killed like that. The other one gets waked up and struggles. In this case they both look frightened and one child by itself cannot do that. There has to be two people involved in this murder case or one really strong really scary unsub.

Blog post on Three Broken Promises

             Last when I left off I was explaining the characters and their love life, mostly Jen and Collin. So far a lot of more things have happened between them. Jen went to her interviews for the jobs she was applying for. None of them wanted her. Right now she is debating whether or not she should stay with Collin. Her friend knows whats going on and still convinces her to stay. It is made clear that Jen and Collin want each other, but deny each other to do so.

              The person I want to analyze is Jen's mom. Jen's mom is starting to call her. Which this never really happens anymore. Since Jen ran away and all. She is still mourning over the loss of her son. She over drinks at night at a bar. Also she calls Jen when she's super drunk. I think she's going to try to get Jen to move back with her.

Three Broken Promises

               I started to read this online book called Three Broken Promises By: Monica Murphy. This book is about a girl named Jen and a guy named Collin. Collin and Jen knew each other since they were little Collin's best friend was Jen's sister. There was always something special or different with Jen and Collin. Jen's brother respected that, when he was alive. Jen's brother and Collin were supposed to go to the war in Iraq, but Collin didn't go. Collin was getting some extra money from his rich dad to open a business and he wanted Jen's brother to be a part of it, but he stuck to his plan. Also Collin and Jen's brother had a huge argument over it and when he went to Iraq they started talking again. The last thing Jen's brother said to Collin was if anything happened to him that to take care of his baby sister. Jen had ran away and was working at 'Gold Diggers'. Gold Diggers was not a very good place for a young girl to be working at. She was living in her car when Collin finally found her. Collin and Jen sold pieces of her junk car to get some extra money. Collin took Jen in and took care of her for like two years. Recently Jen had told Collin how she felt and it just so happens that Collin felt the same way. There is something about Collin that makes himself unreachable. He has built a 'steel wall' around him to let no one in. But, so far Jen is working really hard and she tells him she's going to run away again. She has made a couple of real friends and it'll be hard to leave them, but she hates the fact that everyone knows everyone in that town just like before and she didn't want her past to come up. Even if it's a new place it'll end up being the same. Collin has really bad dreams of him letting Jen's brother die over and over. When he has these types of dreams Jen gets up and comforts him. She is also sad, but Collin has it worse and he feels that he should've been the one who died out there and if it were up to him that he would have traded places. He thinks that he's screwed everything up and the only thing that he has done right was take care of his sister. Collin is a blue eyed, blonde haired, cute guy. The ladies love him, but he only wants Jen. All he has to do is think of Jen and he won't even look at another girl. Also Collin has trouble opening up to people. So, those nights where Jen was the only thing that could help him, he would deny it happened. He doesn't really like people that are nosey and all in his business.

              The character I'm going to be analyzing is Jen. Jen is a very pretty, yet mysterious person. She is the type of girl to not have many friends. To only be open with some barely any. Have you ever heard the quote "Quality not Quantity", well yeah, that's how Jen is. She is madly in love with someone who she is afraid to be with. She is a very organized person. She likes to plan things before hand. To make sure that she has everything in order. Now that she has called it out on, a little too early without a lot of planning she feels embarrassed. Like she already told him that she was leaving in a month and it's only been a week. She needs more time to plan. Also since Collin and Jen sold Jen's car she has no way to get to Sacramento and she wants to do it all by herself without help. She has been saving up so that she can get things started over there, but she hadn't thought of renting a car and that's a lot of the money. So she can't get that it'll throw everything off.

Native Americans then and now


             I read the scope article "Would we be killed". It is two different little stories one about the Indians and the schools , the other is an essay about a girl who talks about her life. Indians were marginalized because "the white man" would take them from their homes and "kill the indian , save the man". They would torture the kids until they were the same as them. As if their ways before were bad (which they weren't). They would be forced to speak English and they would not eat the same food, not wear the same type of clothes, and more. In the article it says that "It was not Pratt's plan to simply educate these children and teach them English. He also planned to "civilize" them---to strip them of their traditions and ways of life." This shows that he tricked the chiefs at first to kind of do a test run. This test run worked so then it became mandatory for the Indian children to go here and basically (be stripped of their color) lose whom they really are. Their traditions and their religion everything that reminded them of who they are and where they belong. I say that they were stripped of their color because when you think of a color you think it's 'pretty' or 'fun', but basically it's like what is life without color. It would never had been the same. When you take a person in hopes of changing exactly to who you are that's an inhumane act. It is down right bogus and messed up.

         Shanice has it good, but her ancestors have been through so much. She is a very grateful girl whom had grown up in a neighborhood with all Indians and she wouldn't imagine her life without all the things she does with her tribes. She has accomplished many things in life and she went through school and she was on to college. Back then the schools were practically dangerous and sad. Back then people used to get beat for disobeying rules and doing something they weren't supposed to do. Schools back then for Indians were very racist. I say this because they would strip them of everything they knew. Everything they grew up with and that is really sad. Shanice lives a good life and she feels bad for her ancestors because of what they had to go through.

The Pregnancy Project #2

             I am now doing my second blog on "The pregnancy project" last time we left off at the part where I was talking mostly about her family. So now she has started her "project" she will pretend that she's pregnant and she will see how people think of her and she won't tell anyone no matter how hard it is not to. She won't even tell her boyfried. Anyways, so fat her boyfriends friends are being kind and supportive and others not so mich. Oh yeah, I forgot to add she can't even tell her family its fake. So she vasically has to live a secret life. It's really hard because she has to do certain things to make it look real. Everyone at her school is judging her and saying stuff like this is going to ruin your school career. Or even her life. This is a sign of bullying, just because she is pregnant people are looking at her differently.

           I'm going to do a character analysis of the main character. She is a very brave strong girl. I say this because she has also been through a lot as did her family and she now has to deal with these pressures at school. Her family believes she has let them down. That can take a huge impact on ones life. The feeling of disappoint. Everyone thought she was different, but they were wrong. That wasn't the case though she was faking it. To make a point for people to finally understand what its like to be judged just because you're pregnant. She gas some times where she even brakes down and cry because of this.

Tolerance

Definition: The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. 

               I can be more tolerant to others by helping others stick up for the LGBT. Stand up and make it clear to the school that bullies target LGBT because of their sexuality and the fact that they like the same gender. Tolerance is hard to explain because it has multiple meanings to other people.
