Summary
In the first section of theis book there is a girl named Susie. She was murdered on December 6, 1973. She white had mousy brown hair. She was part of the Chem and Chess club. Susie then goes on to tell us how it was snowing on the day she was murdered, and how she was taking a short cut through the cornfields to get home. she remembers how it was harder to walk because of the broke corn stalks and how it was dark out because the days are shorter in the winter. Mr. Harvey did not want her to leave, and she was starting to worry that she would not be able to leave. Then he fought her to the ground and raped her. All she remembered was yelling please stop or stop please. She remembers him pressing his lips up against hers and how he was reaching up underneath her shirt. Then how he ripped her pants off and how he gagged ehr with her hat. Then she could not remember anything other then crying. When he was done he told her to tell her that she loved him and he then murdered her.

Reaction
My reaction to this was scared. This is because if you knew that your life was coming to an end you would be scared too probably. I just wonder why she did not keep fighting. I wonder what would happen if she kept fighting and got away if he would go to jail for what he did or kill her the same anyways. It scared me because if I knew my life was going to end very soon I would fight till the end.
