Significance: This story taught me to love my parents no matter what because they will always love you, and appreciate you. Show love to both parent; Jeremy was a Mommys boy, and Jenna loved his Dad more. When the Mom died, Jenna barely felt sympathy for her because she didn’t get close to her mom. And she could not accept that her Dad was the killer. You have to tell someone if you love them before its too late.
Perspective: This story was written by Jullius Lester. If this story was written by female, it might have been When Mom Killed Dad. This story alternates from Jeremy’s perspective, to Jenna’s perspective. Jeremy uses kid like vocabulary, as opposed to Jenna who talks about teenager stuff like boys, and shopping. You can also tell how they are both on different sides; mom, and dad. I love both of my parents equally.
Evidence: I think that the author wants you to think that the Dad is guilty, but is using Jenna’s relationship with her Dad to try to get the readers to feel sorry for the Dad. At the end, the author put evidence behind to prove that the Dad killed her, but the author also made him apologize and made him learn his lesson; Never kill anyone. I also noticed that Jenna, and Jeremy get very depressed after the death, and take it out by being mad.
Connection: Sometimes I get really mad at one of my parents, and think that I hate them, but at the end, I know that I still love them so much. And I know many parents get split, or divorced, but killing is soooo bad. I think I’m connected to Jenna in a way because when my dog died, I was devastated, and I tried getting my mind off by playing more sports (getting a boyfriend in her case) I also noticed that after he died, I got really close to my other dog.
Supposition: If Jeremy was on his Dad’s side, and Jenna was on her Mom’s side, everything would be different; Jeremy wouldn’t of found Mom’s diary which had physical evidence that the Dad was having a affair with one of his therapist patient. Also, the Dad was attracted to Jenna (eww) and I don’t think she would of let him touch her if she didn’t like him as much
