Gained knowledge-1

Though Mark is just twelve boy,he is very smart.and he did not believe others.

If I'm Mark, I do not know if I would speak out the truth of the matter because they age is so small, to encounter less complex thing, do not know how to do, and his brother is sick witnessed things happen, Mark must also overwhelmed .

Mark’s lawyer-Reggie Love

is also a cool person,she

had fifty-two years old,and

she had been a lawyer for

only five years.

She had married a doctor,later, her husband left her,she was therefore renamed as Reggie,and be a lawyer.

I think Mark maybe because his father and his mother divorced,because his father drank a lot and hit he and his brother and mother.

Therefore,Mark choose tobelieveReggie,tell her the truth, to become mutual trust partners.

We feel that most impressed is Mark with his little brother sneaking into the woods to smoke. inadvertently found a man who wants to kill himself, which create a very strong atmosphere. Unknowingly into the story.
