Setup: 

In times of stress or even boredom Stokes sometimes found _____ to help.

Rodger (talking to Burke):  You wouldn’t hit a man with glasses on would you?

[Is it Rodger?]

It’s funny how that works.
 I remember learning in school about the evolution of the peppered moth supposedly being because of pollution, but later in life a very pro evolution person explained it wasn’t a great example of evolution because earlier environmentalist were behind the paper (or study).  He implied it was inaccurate if not worse than that. 

Or you have history books that are mistaken for lack of information like all the dinosaurs theories that started changing sometime before Jurassic Park came out. 

I wonder if the issue of time was written just for drama or writing with the idea that the Sheriff Patterson character was attempting to gage people’s reaction as well as being written for drama? 

It’s really hard for me to decide which. 

I sort of think as the letter writing as almost a journal or diary, but she is writing to parents that she doesn’t even know are alive.  I can understand how that detail can cause different opinions or reactions. 

I’ve never been an orphan, but I do know what it is too feel lost and adrift in the world even with great parents and a good family.  So I guess I can relate. 

I’m not sure if it’s called this, but Vicky is almost like an audience point of view character.  She’s the main window we see things through because she’s a newcomer.  But it’s too bad we didn’t see more character development with her.
 
It’s weird for me to realize I like the character, but really don’t have much character to like.  If that makes sense at all.
