Shelby's 1st Critique

The Hand of Justice Shelby, I like the way in which you experimented with the format of this piece. I like the fact that it’s a murder case and that the reader is in some way the detective listening to the suspect or criminal’s story as to what happened. I liked how you made the character crazy without using a narrator to explain it to the reader—for example: the repeating or stuttering of words or lines and the fact that in the beginning the character can’t remember his name. The only thing I would critique about the piece would be the fact that his explanation of why he murdered the girls and his idea of “justice” seems to not relate to the idea that he’s supposed to crazy. Other than that I really liked the piece and I think it could even continue with more cases or the same cases told by different people—like the parents of the victims of the friends or family members of the suspect/criminal.
