    "Killing Mr. Griffin Susan and Betsy are two very different people. The react to their actions and other peoples in different ways. Susan is a smart student, that doesn't really have many friends. Betsy is a semi smart student, popular, and very pretty girl. Some ways that they are different are for example...the writing assignment for the "Final song of Ophelia."� Betsy told Mr. Griffin that, "I didn't understand the assignment,"� "How can anybody write a final song for Ophelia when she's already said everything there is to say? All that about rosemary for remembrance and everything? Nothing happens to her after that except she drowns."� And than Susan thought to herself..."�At least we don't have to read them out loud."� And she said to write her assignment, she had let herself become Ophelia, lonely, alienated from the world, sickened with the hopelessness of her love, dazing into the depths of the water that would soon be her grave."� Another example of their different reactions is the kidnapping.

It kind of seemed like she got pleasure of doing this to the man.…
