1. Defending Jacob


Towards the beginning of the novel, I thought Jacob was completely innocent. He didn’t have any reason to kill Ben Rifkin and didn’t seem to be familiar of what was really going on. However, when Derek wrote on Facebook about Jacob having the knife, I started to think about how Jacob could have been the murderer. The most important scene was when Andy found the hidden knife in Jacobs bedroom drawer, then disposed of it in the dump for Jacob’s safety. I disagree with what Andy did because he didn’t confront his work about the situation and what he found out about it, and this could also put his job at risk. Towards the end we find out that Ben used to make fun of Jacob.
