Her parents Malcolm and Maud, own a company called Angel Pharmaceuticals, and are one of the most well known people across the world.

On page 156 it states that, “But I hadn’t taken by pills the night before-had fainted, had an emotional breakdown, sobbed and fell out of control. In short, I’d acted in a way that was just not like me. I felt...like a lot of other teenage girls must feel. Could this be...normal?” On this page it is talking about how she missed daily pills or what they call “vitamins” and she acted like a normal teenage girl. Before she acted like a robot, she didn’t even cry when she found out her parents were dead. She was now more interested to what these pills are made of. This is an example of her being curious and always wondering about something. Another example of her being curious is on page 212, it states that, “What were my mother’s secrets?” At this time in the story the family’s personal assistant Samantha is telling Tandy about how her mother Maud was “a woman of many secrets”. This made Tandy wonder about her mother’s past and she was now trying to figure out who her mother really was. One last example of Tandy being a curious character is on page 328, it states that, “Let’s do a secret ballot and see where we stand.” At this point in the story, Tandy and her brothers still don’t know who the parent’s murderer is. Tandy is curious, and wants to know if her brothers could also be murderers, and who they thought was the killer. For example, because Tandy is curious, she investigates her mother’s items to find out her secrets. As you can see, Tandy is a very curious character with something always on her

    Based on information gathered by the prosecution prior to November 6th, 2017, I believe that the jury will find defendant Rebekah Ponder guilty of the murder of Walter White, and defendant Elshaday Yilma will be found complicit. However, evidence will be found insufficient for the jury or an otherwise reasonable person to convict either defendant of robbery. During the trial, the jury will convict Ponder and Yilma of murder and complicity to murder because of the evidence that will be proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the prosecution. As seen in chapter 507, section 20 of the Penal Code for The State of Berea College, The Actus Reus of Murder is an act that causes the death of a person or third person.…
