Focus Paragraph

From growing up as a normal child not used to being abused and treated like a dog, to being caged and treated like she was nothing Jane Stafford killed her very abusive husband. When I first got the book I had no clue on who Jane Stafford was and I didn’t think that this book would interest me. When I started off reading it I learned about Jane’s child hood which was kind of similar to mine with the abuse and alcohol. I learned that Jane was like the mother for her younger sisters just like I was for my younger brothers. Jane is considered a hero to some people and not a murderer at all. I read about how Jane’s life changes and went from being treated like angel to being treated like an animal who was nothing in the world. Jane’s life was a living hell when she had Billy’s child. At the start of their relationship Billy was everything Jane wanted but as soon as she got pregnant with his baby that’s when she realized Billy was something different and her life wouldn’t be the same. I was surprised that Jane ended up killing Billy, I thought she would just leave him and move her family some where Billy couldn’t find them or charge him, but she did what she had to do to keep her family and herself safe from a man who thought he was Satan. Jane later on got re-married to a man who treated her with the respect she need and deserved. Later on Jane ended up killing her self because she couldn’t stand to live anymore, because of all the horrible things Billy put her through it hunted her and she couldn’t take being alive much longer.

Exactly. Not to mention she was found with a gunshot wound to her chest. People that commit suicide rarely choose that course. She would have put a bullet in her head. She didn't kill herself and I'll never believe it
