I have finished reading Legend by Marie Lu. The prompt I have chosen for my Journal Entry is “Describe the author’s craft (language and style). What was good about the author’s writing? What thing might you try to do in your writing that you learned from this author?” Things that I believe the author did well in her writing were the use of perspective‚ character development‚ and foreshadowing. One of the features of Legend was that it was told by two characters in the same story‚ Day and June.

Adnan Syed perceived as a murderer and a menace ‚ is he really to blame for the death of Hae Min Lee? It’s believable that the Baltimore Police Department had no idea who really killed Hae Min Lee therefore they jumped at the first lead they received .

Almost every murder has a motive‚ some darker than others‚ so In 1999 when Adnan Syed murdered Hae Min Lee how dark was his motive? In 2014 Sarah koenig did a podcast about this murder and took some of finding the facts into her own hands and explore the case. With all the evidence however‚ I believe the state had it right. The fact that Jay Wilds had no reason to lie about Adnan being the killer‚ comboed with Jay’s story of matching all the cell phone records paints a strong picture; Adnan killed
