“In newspaper photos of missing girls from the seventies, most looked like me: white girls with mousy brown hair. This was because before kids all races and genders started appearing on milk carton or on the daily mail. It was back when people believed things like that didn’t happen”- Susie Salmon. I read the lovely bones by Alice Sebold. This story makes me think of justice very poorly. Not justice but our society. Justice for Susie is never granted.
There are sick people in our society. Susie’s murder, Mr.Harvey was both a serial killer and a sexual predator. Mr.Harvey lured so many girls. “His body brushed past the sturdy green leaves, leaving traces of me behind him, smells the Gilbert’s dog would pick up and follow to find my elbow, smells the sleet and rain of the next three days would wash away before police dogs could even be thought of.”-Chapter four. How Mr. Harvey actually planned everything perfectly is amazing. Because of Mr.harvey’s experience there was barely any evidence but he knew when to run.
The little justice Susie was able to get was vey hard to achieve. Lindsey had to sneak into Mr.Harvey's home. She was able to find a book that incriminated all of Mr.Harvey's crimes. He was never captured. People get away sometimes. But what I found special was that Susie didn't leave when he was incriminated but when she was able to save a life and have her final goodbyes to everyone. They say most find peace when their problems are solved. Susie was able to really have a terrible happy ending.
Mr.Harvey didn't go to jail but Susie from heaven. Got somewhat justice. Mr. Harvey was finding another victim when she saw from heaven an icicle. That's when she made it fall off he didn't only have it fall on top his head but he fill off the cliff. That was the end of Mr.Harvey. I feel there wasn't enough justice. If this topic had occurred in New York it would have been a similar process. But capturing the sexual predator would have been easier.
