Response to Killing Alec


            Dr. J’s Killing Alec is described a strange but interesting story that Caroline, Anje, Tiffany, and me decided to kill their same boyfriend Alec. At first, they decide to manhunt him. They find him easily at a village in California. But he is dating with Marlena. They tell Marlena all the process. Then, Marlena joins in their team. This time, they want to the swamp. And Alec digs a grave for himself with happy mood. Then Alec says he loves them all. And girls say they love Alec as well.
            Dr. J sets the ridiculous premise of the story at the beginning, which makes the story clear. In the process of my editing, I realize that the minds of these characters are ridiculous as well. In the story, Alec agrees with girls’ plan which aims to kill him. And more than one detail reveals that girls love Alec very much, but they still decide to kill him. The story is full of contradictions. These contradictions establish suspense to appeal readers. Therefore, I am attracted to keep reading it. Another function of these contradictions is adding the interesting elements into this story.

            Moreover, Dr. J describes many details to show girls care about Alec very much. However, it is a flaw that Dr.J don’t give us clues to figure out why they love Alec so much but wants to kill him. I guess maybe Dr. J does this on purpose for appealing our interests. And the sentence in last paragraph “he climbed out of the hole, glistening in mud,” I still can not understand it.
