Summary : Should Liam Be Glad He Is Not A Murderer?

It is evident in the first two pages of the novel that Grace is an unreliable storyteller . In the opening chapter, Grace recounts a version of the murder in a very stream of conscious, modern style. Grace talks about seeing Nancy covered in blood before Nancy “scatters into a patches of color, a drift of red cloth petals across the stone,” but Grace ends her story by saying, “This is what I told Dr. Jordan, when we came to that part of the story” (Atwood 6). This last sentence reminds the reader of the dubious nature of Grace’s narration (Sidall). Atwood also subtly discredits Grace through inconsistencies in her narration, such as Grace’s switching back and forth between calling McDermott the formal Mr. McDermott or the very personal (and, perhaps, too personal) James. Later, Atwood causes the reader to further question Grace when she is hypnotized. Under the influence of a man Grace claims to be Jeremiah the peddler, she declares that she is a very sexually charged, devious woman by the name of Mary Whitney. The questionable elements of Grace’s narrative add to the overall falsity and dubious nature of the

Grace Blakely is the main character of All Fall Down. She is very daring and stubborn and she has been through a lot for a girl her age. Her brother and father are both in the military and she is now living with her grandfather in Adria. Grace was thirteen when she watched her mother die in a fire and while everybody says it was an accident, Grace knows it was not. She knows her mother was murdered and she watched it happen with her own two eyes. Everyone except for Noah at the moment, believes Grace is crazy and she was just seeing things because of all the smoke or not wanting to remember the very tragic accident as just that, an accident. Grace has always been daring and that gives her a quality many people look for in a friendship.

Making Of A Murderer was a Netflix documentary about a man named Steven Avery who was convicted of the murder of Teresa Halbach, along with his 16 year old nephew Brendon Dassey. I believe Dassey shouldn’t have been tried for murdering Teresa Halbach for many reasons such as, his mental capacity, the police interrogation tactics used on him, and the inconsistencies in his story and testimony.

In addition to being unbelievable, the state of being truthful can sometimes be extremely hurtful. This causes people to branch away from the truth and even make stories easier on the ears. Ultimately, most people enjoy hearing stories that sound truthful and have some kind of moral, yet the truth can be hard to accept.

“‘Just plain medical doctors. Medical doctors in general practice. That’s all the law requires. We have sanity hearings in this county every year for the purpose of committing people to the institution. We never call anybody in Larned or psychiatric institutions of any kind. Our own local physicians attend to that matter Its no great job to find whether a man is insane. Or an idiot or an imbecile… It’s entirely unnecessary, a waste of time to send the defendants to Larned’” (267).
