1) Could the author not have the girls, trip's point of view in the book?
2) Why do stories like this always have to take place in small rural towns?
Sometimes I wonder if the story would have been different if the author had put the views of the girls' and various others. I think that would have sparked more debate over who's right and who's wrong. Also, it would have made the story more interesting to read about everyone's opinions rather than an outsiders.
I have read many various books and saw one movie last semester and it was about Truman Capote. In that movie a whole family was killed and it also took place in a small town. Why do murders, suicide books always take place in small towns. That is something I hope to figure out soon.
I think the movie took place in the suburbs because the suburbs are unfortunately a universal symbol for conformity, boredom, entrapment and a painfully "average" lifestyle. Often the suburbs represent traditional, conservative values.
