Reading History

I like to read. Im sure that not many other students would agree with me. When I was in elementry I would read alot. I would sit at home on a saturday and just read. My favorite books were "The Hardy Boys." I have read almost all of them. My least favorite book is probably Treasure Island. Im not sure why, but it just doesnt appeal to me. I read on my couch mostly, but sometimes I will read on my bed.

Favorite parts

My favorite part of the book is when Jermey is taking the lie detector test. This is when the truth comes out and the whole town finds out who the real killer is. 

My least favorite part is about half way through the book when Jermey and his family go to the funeral. And the Gingriches are calling him Judas and other bad things. He was just telling the truth.

I would recomend this book to someone who likes murder mystery books. Anyone that likes a intense book would enjoy this book. Its a good read, and an easy plot to understand.

Archetypal

There were a lot of characters in this story dispite how short it is. But there were only a few that made a impact in the story.

The main character is Jermey. He fits the seeker profile. All along he thinks that someone else killed Aaron dispite all logical evidence. In the end he realizes that there is no serial killer on the loose, it was Nathan from the beginning.

The next character is Jermeys dad. He is a sage because of his endless knowledge of the law, the town and the crime scene. In turn he comforts Jermey into beliving in what is right and even more important, beliving in himself.

The third character is Nathan. He is obviously the villan, or destroyer. Throughout the story he never makes any contact with Jermey the main. He is the silent menace like a vampire.

The only other caracter that is worth mentioning is Aaron he is a magician. He is good and helps Jermey though his journey even though he doesnt know it.
