Chapter Eleven

In this chapter Matt Donaghy writes an e-mail for Ursula Riggs. He wants to ask her why she doesn’t answer his three old e-mails. He also writes a lot about his current situation and asks her many questions.

Before the horrible incident in school Matt was a very popular student with many friends, like Russ, Skeet and Stacey. Nearly everyone liked him, because he was a very funny person, but he never made bad jokes of anyone. He laughed a lot and was absolutely friendly teenager.

But since that day, no one will ever forget that Matt has allegedly planned an amok. The people and also his old friends evade him, but unsure why. Probably they are afraid of him, they think the police only couldn’t prove that, but in real he really tried to kill as many people as possible. Now his whole life is destroyed, no one wants to meet him, so he gets very lonely. He can only hope that Ursula wants to be his friend.

When Ursula didn’t answer his e-mails he had to fear the loss of his last friend, too. Of course, he doesn’t want to be alone in his little world. He couldn’t live without his friends.

From my point of view, he could become introverted and shy and even suicidal. He is unaccustomed to be a loner, so it’s too much for him. He’ll yearn for his old life with friends and fun. I’m going to observe Matt to check my speculation.
