Jazz and his Father
Jazz and his Father seem to be almost the same person but they are so different altogether. Jazz just seems to have that one quality that makes him good deep down. Jazz's father is manipulative and Jazz can sometimes see through it and other times it hits him deep down. A father should not do that to the son. Jazz is going back and forth in the novel between whether he is like his father or he can change what people think about him and be a good person. Jazz has some manipulative qualities too when he wants or needs something he knows what he has to say or do to get what he wants. This is just like his father but Jazz has that one good quality that makes him good unlike his father.

I agree with Sierra when she says that Jazz and his father are almost the same person. At the beginning of the book we saw jazz watching a crime scene. I thought he was watching it because he committed the crime and wanted to see what the police saw. Once i found out who his father was I automatically thought it was Jazz who was the towns new serial killer following in his fathers footsteps. As the book went on I no longer believed it was Jazz who did it and knew there was only one thing that made him and his father different like Sierra said. This was that Jazz had a quality that kept him sane and a good person unlike his father. His knowledge about crimes and serial killers makes him quite similar to his father who knew a lot. Jazz was constantly conflicted with the issue that he might follow in his fathers footsteps but the bit of goodness he had in his body kept him out of trouble, for the most part.
