Signifigance: This book is very signifigant because it tells us that you shouldn't under-estimate anyone, or any animal in this case, of their ability of what they can, or cannot do. Cats are the least "things" you would expect to help Qwilleran solve the mosted talked about mystery in Pickax, and until further evidence is found, you wouldn't think that Boswell, a crippled old man, would committ murder to the most loved lady in that county. This book is part of a series of novels, and thats where i think the author gets some of her inspiration. She also has 2 simese cats like in the story. I chose to read this book because the title is very creative, and eye catching. You would expect to read about a cat who could talk, and seeing unrealistic ghosts, but it turns out to be a different story. Also with a great title, it plays with your imagination, and sends you thinking about possible soloutions, and you haven't even read the book yet.
Perspective: The author of this book is Lilian Jackson Braun, and she is known for creating these "The Cat Who..." books. I think this story's time period was in the 1950's because the murder scene wasn't as properly checked looked at as crime scene investigations now in days. I am looking at the these issues at a narator's point of view, but since Qwilleran is the main cahracter, and the character that the narating is based apon, we look at his thought the most. I want the reader to think of this book as a reminder to always judge someone by their personality, not there looks, intellegence.
Evidence: This is a mystery story; so much evidence is needed to support the concluconclusion. So if one thing changed, everything would change. That is what makes a murder mystery so hard to comprehend, you have to memorize a lot of little details that make up the conclusion.sion. Like if Qwilleran never found the family tree in the bible, he might not of solved the case. And if he never got the call from Ms. Cobb at night, he wouldn’t be asked to stay in her apartment, and he wouldn’t of found the evidence in the apartment, he wouldn’t of gotten the proof he needed in the museum, or from his nosy, and loud neighbor, Boswell, who ends up to be the murderer. But the evidence proves your assumption.
Connection: I really couldn’t relate myself with any of the characters because they were in another time period, and they were all old, but I could relate an incident that this book is trying to teach us. In the book they taught me not to make assumptions without proof like I said in the last paragraph. It taught me that anyone, or any thin is capable of doing anything. Like sometimes someone pulls a prank, and we immediately assume that the kids that goof around the most did it. Later on we found out that someone you might not of thought would do, did it. This reminded me of a quote by detective: “after eliminating all of the suspects, the unimaginable is the faultier.” I think that is his quote. It means after you figure out the obvious criminals didn’t do it, it’ll be the improbable person.
Supposition: I think that if Qwilleran never hired Ms. Cobb as his housewife, they would of never known each other, and Qwilleran wouldn’t of solved the murder that woke up Pickax. Also if Qwilleran was a lady that would totally change the story. First of all he wouldn’t go out with a girl librarian, and she wouldn’t have helped him get the facts to solve the mystery. Events lead to events, and those events lead to more events, and that leads to details, and pretty soon your at the conclusion. So if one thing changed, everything would change. That is what makes a murder mystery so hard to comprehend, you have to memorize a lot of little details that make up the conclusion
