Comments	Ellie, who is the sole survivor, is  taking Charles Jr., the son of the  killer, around town to gather information  from others about that day so he can  determine if he can  find a reason  why his father did what he did. The first place they start is at the  newspaper, reading articles of the crime.  I think the townspeople are  curious on what he wants and what he is doing in town so they gather at the newspaper hoping to get a  glimpse however after hours of waiting, they give up and go about their way. Charles Jr. wonders why Ellie is helping him but Ellie’s mind, the more I help him the faster he can leave. She wants to protect  everyone from more pain and suffering however she’s tired of holding it together and being a person she’s thinks everyone  wants her to be. Ellie has only two and half weeks and she was going to be making a major change,  this is after they place a monument in the  park on 4th of July, against her better  judgment. She believes they already live too much in the past and don’t need to be reminded constantly of the pain/suffering. There was a line in the book that the character,  Charles Jr. stated – “You can’t change the past,  no matter how bad you want to”
