Have you ever wondered how detectives solve a murder case? So far in this book, Lindsay and her team try to figure out clues and connections to who the murderer of the two crime cases could be. One of the unsolved murder cases is a repeating event that Lindsay and her friends call “Claire’s Birthday Murder” and the other case includes three men that rob small stores and then kill the employee working. This book has given me the opportunity to evaluate Lindsay and Joe, predict that Lindsay and her team will find out who the murderer is, and question if the men dressed in police uniforms are actually who they say they are.
...Jack found the hotel, and he found Mink, the man Babette was involved with, and the man who gave her this experimental drug for death disorder. Jack found a paranoid man, a man who will sit for hours in front of the TV with White Noise. Jack realized this person was out of his mind. (308-314)

Although they did not play with the jack-in-the-box together, each child had their own encounter with Jack. Jack would ascend from the box, motion to the kids to come closer, smile, and “[tell] them each things they could never quite remember, things they were never able to entirely forget” (Don’t Ask Jack 2). Each kid’s memory with Jack stuck with them as adults showing the role Jack played in their lives. Jacks effects on the kids caused the girls, now women, to refuse to visit the house in which they had grown up. The youngest brother was found in the cellar of the old house “trying to burn the great house to the ground. They took him to the madhouse, and perhaps he is still there” (Don’t Ask Jack 3). This quote makes the reader wonder the things Jack told the brothers and sisters when they were little that caused such damage on their lives, even as adults. Each kid’s memory with Jack in their old house affected them as they grew up and left an unforgettable mark on their lives, something they would never be able to
I’ve just finished the classic noir film “The Maltese Falcon”.

The investigation turns into a tornado of accusations when Sam’s partner and the man that Ruth’s sister was with both get killed by an unknown suspect.
Authors can communicate through their words to make people feel certain emotions. In the book, The Pearl Harbor Diary of Amber Billows by Barry Denenberg taught me a lot about what really happened during Pearl Harbor. The facts that Barry Denenberg taught me about Pearl Harbor were accurate, you can tell he truly did his research before writing his historical fiction book.
“He was found in his desk chair, according to Chief Rosco. We called the police when he wasn't home, around, quarter past one, I think. They called us to tell us he was dead around two, and that's when I called you. Also, he was killed with scissors on his desk, oddly enough,” I nodded at the information. I asked if the police could get Mr. Bone`s assistant, since all the workers were present. James Blue soon came, and I started to interrogate him. He seemed nervous, fidgeting, but I could tell he wasn't guilty, just nervous.

In the author's preface, Linda Brent speaks that everything she experienced in slavery, in the north, was strictly true. She trust that her readers excuse her deficiencies in consideration of circumstances. Whenever she would have spare time from household duties she compel herself to write these pages of her experiences in her life. She also says she doesn't write to attract readers because in contrary she would of found it better to keep her history a secret. In the end of her preface she says that even though she doesn't want to tell about her experiences, she wants to make the woman of the north aware about the conditions of two millions of women at the South, still in bondage.
While in Room, the only person that Jack ever interacted with was Ma, he is accus-tomed to her focusing entirely on him and listening to everything he says. However, outside she is preoccupied with multiple things to do and people to see, causing her to ignore Jack. When-ever Ma is interacting with police or doctors and Jack interrupts to talk to her or ask for “some” (breast milk), she will change the subject or say “later Jack” (180). All of this causes Jack and Ma’s relationship to weaken, which results in them not having each other to rely on during times when they need each other the most. When Ma overdoses on pills in a suicide attempt it is when she sends Jack to be with her brother so she can be alone in a catatonic state. It is not until after her recovery, when she is reunited with Jack and they begin living more similarly to how they lived in Room, that their bond restrengthens and they are secure again, in their new home. An-other negative relationship that affects Ma is that with her parents, and her father specifically. When Ma reunites with her father after seven years, he is extremely uncomfortable by Jack, and makes his distain known to Ma. He says that he did not want to meet him (225), and that Ma would be better off without him, as in better off if he was

One day about three years after the mass murder, Jack is working with his girlfriend Anne in a video store in a mostly drunken, depressed state, and one night he attempts suicide. Before he can do so, he is mistaken for a homeless person and is attacked and nearly set on fire by thugs. He is rescued by Parry, a deluded homeless man who is on a mission to find the Holy Grail, and tries to convince Jack to help him. Jack is initially reluctant, but comes to feel responsible for Parry when he learns that the man's condition is a result of witnessing his wife's murder at the hands of Jack's crazy caller. Then later in the movie Jack seeks to redeem himself by helping Parry find love again. He sets Parry up with Lydia, a shy woman, who works as an accountant for a Manhattan publishing house. Jack and Anne then join them for a dinner date. Following dinner, Parry declares his love for Lydia but is once again haunted by the Red Knight. As he flees his hallucinatory tormentor, the same thugs who had earlier attacked Jack attack him again. The beating is not fatal but causes Parry to become catatonic again. Jack breaks up with Anne and begins to rebuild his career. Eventually, after some time, Jack goes back to the video store and tells Anne that he loves her. She slaps him and then grabs him and kisses him. The film ends with Jack and Parry lying naked in Central Park looking at the clouds. In the end of the movie it doesn’t specifically say why Parry went back to Jack, but perhaps based on an instinct of an affinity for sexual desire. Why he left her originally is not specifically stated either. But it appears that Jack left Parry because he didn’t love her for her looks and sexual appearance and for this simple reason Jack still appeared to have Eros written all

His lover in the prologue was a young Ellen, a free-spirited, strong willed woman with witch-like qualities; the baby inside her is Jack, his unborn son. Jack Cherbourg’s death effects Ellen by making her curse Waleran, James, and Hamleigh, resulting in her becoming an outlaw. This also effects Jack, because since his mother is an outlaw, he is raised solely by her with no other constant human interaction for approximately twelve years. This ultimately causes Jack to be slightly awkward and anti-social, unknowing of society’s perspective on proper etiquette and manners. An example is when he snatches from Alfred in the beginning of Part I. He is very connected to his mother. Although he possesses a simplistic ‘village idiot’ expression, he is quite the opposite. Ellen raises her son with the knowledge of literacy, as well as teaching him French, Jacque’s native language. It is apparent Ellen is deeply sorrowed by the death throughout her whole life, always becoming sad when Jacques is brought up and never truly revealing to her son how his father died. She finally exposes all of the information she knows during Jack’s imprisonment, caused by his constant perusing of Aliena even though she is engaged to his step-brother Alfred. He is in the same cell his father was contained in many years ago. She states that she never shared the details out of fear Jack would spend his life trying to avenge his father. The
