Summer Reading #2

In my book Jasper Jones Jasper wants to hide the body of Laura Wishart so that he won't be suspected as the murderer. Charlie wants to report the murder to the police department. Charlie later agrees to hide the body in a dam and he quickly wants to get home before his parents wake. He can't get home through the woods without Jasper's navigational skills through the woods and Jasper just wants to drink whiskey and smoke cigarettes before be takes Charlie to his home.  Charlie is feeling really guilty about what he has done and wants to come forward to the police. Jasper wants to keep the death of Laura Wishart a secret between them and no one else. A theme that I think is starting to develop is that you should tell the truth and be honest. I think this because the boys could get in alot of trouble if the police find out that they hid the body and that would make them look like the murderers and they could be put in jail. If the boys would have told the truth in the first place then I think they would not be in trouble other than the trouble Charlie would get in for sneaking out of his home in the middle of the night.
