Every book has a happy ending...

If only life were the same in some cases. I mean i'm not trying to sound like a downer on life, but like some people don't end up finding out who killed their sister or lots of others. Here was Mr. Carvilles final attempt at killing Jim and Jennifer. He says hes a teacher at some college and gets a hold of Jim. He goes to Jims house to talk about what its like to try to track down a killer and his exprience with Jennifer. The thing that I find most interesting, and that basically saves Jim and Jennifers lives is Jennifer herself. He bravery and courage rises up to the top at the end to take down Roger. I think its really cool because she knows that its Roger right when she walks into Jims house. In the book Jennifer describes how the outside of her house reminds her of when the painter (Roger) came and kidnapped her at first. She gets this funny feeling and when she walks inside slowly she hears a voice of one that she wished to forgotten, Rogers of course. She rises to the occasision and gives a good fight. See I am not like Jennifer. I would be sooo scared to even step inside with that feeling. She is really a strong character and thats what I like about her. The thing that I really like about this book is that the weak character who suffers through so much ends up being the hero.

Creepy much

In this blog I am going to discuss all the creepy/ stalkerish things Roger Carville has done in this book. I do realize that he is a serial killer and that this is what they do, but its really crazy all the messed up stuff he has done. For starters he has killed all his people the same and around the time same time of the day, but different months of course. Another creepy thing is that he changes his identity about 4 times throughout the book. He does this so that Jim and the police do not locate him. Inyet though even with his disguses and different names, he does something that makes it obvious enough that it is him. He also follows Jennifer to Canes and takes pictures of her throughout the day and sends them to her at the end of it. They are all pictures of her being completely casual, its really creepy. He also send the pictures to Jim. He also rapes Jennifer when he kidnapps her. He uses her body as an ash tray and brands his name in her. He also goes to the library and searches the obituary for dead peoples names that he can use as his disguise name. He also send pictures to Jim of Jennifer while she is being held hostage. If I were to ever encounter someone like Roger I would be scared. Except the scariest part is I wouldn't know if it were Roger or not. Scary people these days...

Interesting...

Todays blog is going to be a letter  that im writing to Mr. Roger Carivelle. Mr. Carivelle is the serial killer. 

Dear Mr. Carivelle,

Where to start, first of all, get it together. I mean I know you were sexually abused as a child and had a really messed up father and went through things most kids could never imagine, but why I use that to kill people? You say in the book that it brings you please? I will never understand how killing a local civilian who did nothing to you could bring you please by killing them. I know you were the one who killed the 4 women plus Jim's sister. It really makes me mad that you get away with this. Its making me even more angry considering your are holding Jims girlfreind hostage when she did nothing to you. Its like when I watch a movie and there is the mean character who just bugs the crap out of me and I start yelling at the tv, you're that charcter. Although i must admitt like calling Jim and being like "hey its Rog, how are ya" acting like nothing is going on i thought that was kind of clever. But I still dislike you and cannot wait until your caught and killed.

Quote

For this blog i'm going to discuss a quote that really stood out to me. Balfour said "Are you telling me hes going to get away with this?" Dante responded "No, because the more lies you tell, or the more complicated you make it, the harder it is to keep track and eventually you mess up." Why this stands out to me is because it really explains life.  Someone very close to me has lied to me for most of my life and he was caught in it because he got so caught up that he completely messed up. The fact that my grandpa wrote a quote like this is kinda convient because its kindof been my familys life story for awhile. My mom often says stuff like this about lying and stuff. And i agree completely with this statement. No matter who it is, a bad guy, a good guy, a best friend a enemey or even family. Anytime someone lies, they get caught. Its werid. I have lied before and i have gotten caught. I try to dig my way into a story and get caught. I guess thats just the way this world works. I just think this quote pretty much explains what happens when you lie pretty well. Its like what my mom says, "When you play with fire don't cry when you burn." When you constantly lie to the point of it becoming natural someones bound to catch on.

Protagonist

In the book I'm reading, "The Fourth Day", Jim Balfour is developing to be the protagonist. He recently just learned about 3 murders that are similar to his friends death. Jim is the guy who wants to crack this case. No one knows who these murderers are but Jim is determined to figure it out. As of now he has very little knowledge and explanation or motives for this killer. His work is in the early stages right now. Jim is the kind of man who is very down to earth. But he knows that when 3 people are killed around the time of different golf events thats not coincidental. I am really excited to keep reading and find out if he is able to solve the mystery. My prediction is that the guy on the tour had an affair with eaach of these people and then just killed them. There are parts in the book where in talks in someother persons presepctive. I am almost postive it is the killer because he discuss how murder is easy, and about different golf tournaments. Also I recently read a part where he discusses that he was sexually abused as a child by his father. Motive? I think so. Jim just has to discover this information to become the hero.

Murder Mysterys

People often ask me, what is your favorite type of mystery? My response: "A murder mystery, easily." Why? Well theres nothing like sitting on the couch on a rainy day and finding a good murder mystery book that keeps you so hooked that you can't put it down until you solve the mystery. I think I just found the perfect book. I am 40 pages into and someone has already been murdered. Whats to come next? All I can say is that I would never guess for my Grandpa to be such a good writer. In this blog I'm going to make some connections to my life/family life. So the main characters name is Jim? That is my grandpas name. The whole idea of the book being revolved around golf? My grandpas favorite sport, next to baseball of course. In the book he goes to some resteraunt named like Quinlans Bar or something. Thats his dogs name. Also in the book him and his girlfriend Jennifer have been dating a long time but aren't married. My grandpa has been dating Kathy since I was born but they are not married. Also Jennifer often talks about how Jim and Napolean, Jim's dog, are so close that he would basically do anything for it. That is extremely true about my grandpa and his dog. Jim lives in Detriot in the book, when my grandpa wrote this that was where he lived. He also goes out to visit his dad in Florida, which he says is his favorite place. That is where my grandpa currently lives. Its almost funny when I read some of this because I can just see my grandpa writing this out. Its amazing how his writing is alot similiar to how he is as a person. And how the main character is so similar to him.

The Fourth Day

My outside reading book that I chose for this quarter is The Fourth Day, by Jim Quigley. I chose this book because my grandpa wrote it and I have been wanting to read it since then. He wrote it about 6 years ago but at the time I was to young to read it. This is book is about golf, murders and romance (everything I should not have read 6 years ago hence why I am reading it now). I am really looking forward to this book because my mom has said nothing but good things about it. That could just be cause it was her dad that wrote it.... I hope she has sincere meaning to it otherwise I will be in for a long 287 pages. This will hopefully be a book that I really enjoy.
