In this chapter, we experience the three families and the kids showing up in the court room. What surprised me was that JT and especially Digger had admitted what they have done wrong, and that they were taking the full blame. I suspected that Brady thought that with their lawyers, they were going to fight about the situation and give reasons why they were wrong. But clearly, both kids knew that they were known as "murderers" and that it was truly all their fault. I think that the most extremely important thing that Digger said was when he mentioned about how Brady told him if Ben were Hank or LeeAnn in the kayak. What Brady said had made Digger feel bad for Ben and his whole family. If my two best friends were in court, I would be very sad, but proud that my friends knew it was all their fault and that they were murderers. I honestly would not feel sorry for them, because they killed someone that I really loved. I think that it was very fair for JT and Digger to get the same punishment, which was to be sent to forestry camp. Clearly, if I were Brady, I would have strongly appeared in court and make them get the punishment they deserved.
In this chapter, we learn about what happened the night Brady had babysat Ben. When they were watch The Lion King, Ben said "Why they doing that, Bwady" and in return, Brady said "Because he's bad." After doing some thinking, Ben finally said that "No Scaw's not bad, he's just being mean." This shows us that just because someone does something wrong, doesn't mean that it is their whole personality. Also, even if somebody has done something wrong, they can always change and become a better person. This relates to me because even at times when my friends or me do bad things, we know that those actions don't symbolize who we are, and that we were just being mean or stupid. What Ben said was great because it helps us see that others can always change from what they have done and that is why we still keep our friends because we forgive one another. |
