A Horrible Death





           In chapter one of” The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold I meet the main character and narrator Susie Salmon. She was fourteen when she was murdered on December 6, 1973. She was murdered by her neighbor, Mr. Harvey. It was snowing and Susie takes a shortcut, through a cornfield to get home after school. She gets a little scared when she sees Mr. Harvey there in the dark. He makes small talk with her, and she tells him she has to go home but he asks to show her this really cool hiding place that he built under ground.

            Susie is a really curious girl, very interested in science and engineering and she’s never been an any real danger so she doesn’t know enough to be afraid. When she goes down there with him he starts to ask her personal questions like: Does she have a boyfriend? Is she still a virgin? She starts to feel uncomfortable but when she tries to leave he says that she can never leave and there he rapes and kills her. If I were Susie I wouldn’t have walked through the corn field at night at night by myself because I find them scary and I wouldn’t have went with Mr. Harvey because she didn’t know him very well
