Defending Jacob 1


After I got through the slow beginning of the book, I began to like it. When they took all the different clues of the murder and led them toward Jacob, I took Jacob’s side.  Although, I was questioning my decision due to what he had posted on Facebook telling everyone that Ben was dead and to just get over his death. I also took Jacob’s side because of the reason that Andy found a knife in Jacobs’s drawer and got rid of it. Then, what really made me take his side was that they had found the murdering knife in the woods where Ben had been killed. In this case, Jacobs’s knife was not the knife used in the murder. However, when Andy and Laurie were at the psychiatrist, Laurie had spoken up about kids getting hurt while Jacob was around. She also admitted that the day care teachers wouldn’t be able to take their eyes off of him for a second and that he was very aggressive as a child. This changed my thoughts about Jacob. I now think that he may have something to do with the murder of Ben because of the anger issues that he had as a kid.
