Chapter 24-26

Chapters 24-26
After reading chapters 24, 25, and 26 I found them to be extremely frustrating. I did not think there was any real reason for the bluebloods to blame Blue for the death of Hanna, rather all the negative things that has and will happen from hence on forth is on Hanna.
Such as the bluebloods and the entire school blaming Blue for Hanna’s death is totally out of place. Having all of Blue’s “friends” avoid her, and treat her like some kind of deadly virus, must be completely overwhelming. What makes the situation worse for Blue is that now rumors are being spread about her, and no efforts are being made to at least to hide it from her.
With this type of recovery process Blue is suffering through after having seen Hanna dead swinging from a electrical cord, it would not be hard to imagine how for the rest of the book Blue would be a complete mess. Of which none the less she is, from lack of sleep and food. Nearing the end of the reading assignment, chapter 26 Blue comes to conclusion that the report released by detective Harper is incorrect. Blue believes Hanna was murdered rather than Hanna being a suicide case, which in the beginning readers such as myself am lead to believe. This is so until detective Harper explains the reasoning behind her conclusion of suicide, over homicide. Had the Hanna been a homicide case, the bruises caused by Hanna’s weight on her neck would have come out differently instead of it being circular. While for homicide cases people who are strangled to death have a bruise on their neck the shape of a “V” which would indicates some sense of struggle, instead of the unforced mark.
Through that conclusion I would agree with detective Harper that Hanna committed suicide rather than being murdered, and that Blue should no longer have to suffer Hanna’s death any longer, because it just si not worth it.
