After the war ends Iris reveals her affair and Alex’s death to Laura, who apparently had feelings for him as well, prompting Laura to commit suicide.

His reaction or his instinct to this internal conflict is to reveal is hunter self and turn the hunter into the hunted.

The bi-racial rap group Assassin can relate specifically to traditional American Rap fans in France as their sound is very similar due to the beats that they use for their songs. Similar in sounds to rappers alike the Notorious B.I.G, N.W.A (N*gga’s With Attitude), Dr Dre, Tupac Shakir and the ladder of 90’s American rap legends, Assassin use backing tracks that are very repetitive in order to create a sustained beat allowing listeners to focus on their lyrics whether they were part of a political statement or spoke about minorities or violence. This was through the technique of scratching vinyls, creating a repetitive beat, firstly experimented by Grandwizard Theodore (Snapper, 2004). In “Esclave de votre société” (1991), the group refers to their ethnic identity and socio-cultural group, referring to them as a counter-culture to the “norm” of the time as the first lyrics say “Je ne veux pas faire de politique, ma mission est artistique” (“I do not want to do politics, my mission is artistic”)… “Arrêtez de me mentir, nous en sommes esclaves/ Esclaves de leurs décisions, esclaves de leurs passions /Ils jouent un jeu,

The first example of this narrative, “You better not never tell nobody but God. It’d kill you mammy” (1). This statement was obviously only spoken between the narrator and her abuser. “I am fourteen years old. I have always been a good girl” (1), is a second example of the novel’s point of view. This type of narrative brings the reader close to the quality and rhythm of life that Celie experiences. It allows the reader to intimately get to know Celie. Through Celie’s dialect and poor grammar, the reader becomes personally engaged in Celie’s experiences and struggles. Almost like reading the unedited thoughts that go through a person’s mind.

The game is played with dice and pawns(representing the suspects). Player can use any pawn. The goal is to get to a room to make a suggestion. Once in a room a player can use any suspect (not only the one they used to get in the room) and a murder object. Making players goals only to get to new rooms to gather more information.

First, it’s not always clear who the true protagonist is. The reason it’s confusing is because it looks like the killer wants to come after Thelma, making her the victim and putting her in danger. This makes it also feel like her story. Many times she overshadows Nicole.
