Matty In The Bedroom

Decent Essays
Matty grows up orphaned, disfigured, and thrown into a Catholic school where his teacher and classmates do not dare to even look his way. Still, he ends up taking a liking to his teacher, Mr. Pedigree, who is a known pederast. After the death of Mr. Pedigree's favorite student -- where Matty's sneaker was found at the scene outside the man's window -- Mr. Pedigree gets fired, arrested, and places the blame on Matty as he is escorted from the building. When Matty is questioned by a police officer asking what could have lead Mr. Pedigree to kill his classmate, Matty quickly replies, "Evil!" It seems to be a small detail, but his response exhibits the entire basis of Matty's character.
Matty is the human representative of the good side of mankind.

    Essentially, everything he did was a mistake. Bombing scenes are basically no different than other crime scenes in basic processing principles and procedures, many times on a larger scale Basic principles such as scene safety and security, scene documentation, evidence collection/processing, specialized equipment, witness and victim interviews, removal of human remains, and releasing the scene are all based on the same principles.

He may have destroyed evidence by walking on it, contaminated the scene by bringing in foreign material and cross contaminating, contaminated himself with possible toxic or…

World War II symbolizes denial in many forms. For much of the novel, Finny refuses to believe that the war actually exists, referring to the combat as “nothing more than a ploy concocted by fat, old, wealthy men” (Adney…
