Chapter Four & Five

Though the fourth chapter is very short, you get much interesting information!
While being interrogated by the tall, severe-looking strangers, Matt more and more gets desperate. He can’t imagine why these men should come to such a harmless young boy from Rocky River High School. He never did anything dead serious. There is no reason for all that stuff. He’s innocent. All these thoughts are described by using the stream-of-consciousness-technique, e.g. “NO I DID NOT. I DID NOT. I DID NOT.”

Because of these kinds of sentences a stunning atmosphere and a demonstrative impression is created.

This horrible situation, reminded me of a great film I saw on TV, it’s called “The Negotiator”.
A sixty year old man, only a few weeks before his retirement, is suspected of having killed his best friend. He can’t believe that they really want to put him in prison. No one believes him and he also gets desperate because he slowly loses hope of being exculpated. Matt also gets in such hopelessness.
