Janna And Sione: Summary
A book starting with a story, a story about a seven-year-old girl named Keri playing with her best friend Janna on a zip line in her backyard when she prepared herself to break her arm. Fast-forward eight years to events that Keri in no way could have prepared herself for, her older brother's unexpected suicide. After losing contact with Janna for many years, Janna makes a sudden reappearance with an idea, what if Keri’s brother was murdered? For this paper I will be predicting, evaluating and questioning.

I will be evaluating the three main characters of this book Keri, Janna and Sione. Starting with Keri, she is short with dark hair and tan skin that paired beautifully with her green eyes. She is close with her family and was especially close to her brother, which is one reason his

There are plenty of similarities between the deaths, which from reading so far one cannot deny like no notes and no warning signs but perhaps they really were unhappy with their lives. Even Keri starting out was questioning whether or not to believe Janna about them being murdered. The police had ruled them suicides because they found no other fingerprints or other evidence for a reason. But on the other side of that maybe there is a reason they think the brothers were murdered.
Like the similarities one cannot deny, such as where they were on New Years Eve.
The fact none of the brothers left notes or showed any warning signs was alarming to them as well. Murder might be the only logical answer to them at this point.
Like Keri said, “There had been no warning. He didn’t give away his possessions or say things like “it’ll be over soon” (Healey, 4).” This is probably one of the reasons why Keri went along with Janna and Sione. Being so early in the book still there are many more unanswered questions that I cannot wait to be

    Jennifer Thompson was a straight-A student at Elon University in Burlington, North Carolina. She had her life all planned out: maintain straight A’s, graduate with a 4.0 GPA, and marry her boyfriend, Paul. Jennifer said frightened “Who is that? Whose there?” I said, “Allowing myself to think it must be Paul, or someone playing a stupid joke” (12). Then suddenly she looked and saw a stranger in her room. Before she knew it, she was getting raped. During her attack, she made sure she paid attention to her attacker’s features and his voice. The rapist began to hiss “Shut up or I’ll cut you!” he hissed, “while clamping a glove hand down her mouth” (12). He proceeded to brutally rape her, with a knife at her throat. “I’m afraid of knives.” I told him, “I can’t relax until you put it down. Can you put it outside? On my car?” (15-16). Jennifer stayed as calm as possible, trying to remember as many details about her assailant as she could, until she managed to escape. She tried staying calm and having conversations with this man and stayed calm the entire time. When she had the chance and knew he wasn’t there she began to run and was shouting for help. As she ran screaming to the top of her lungs a nice family opened the door and let her in. They took care of Jennifer and took her to the hospital. Through an inept summary and analysis of Picking Cotton, readers will be able to understand key points throughout the book, and determine why or why not they should pursue reading the book.…
