Could you ever imagine a murder happen in your school, well in Big Little Lies that is what happened. Celeste, Jane and Madeline are three of the moms that are close friends. Jane has a son named Ziggy who is accused of bulling another kid at school. Celeste is in an abusive marriage and has to decide to stay with him or leave and take her twin boys with her. Madeline has a daughter named Abigail and she recently went to live with her dad, who has not been there for most of her life. In this paper I will be predicting on what happens, and questioning why something happened and evaluating. I think Madeline might kill Nathan to get Abigail back. I think her mind set behind doing that is how he was never there for her or Abigail and now he gets her and its not fair. I’ m guessing Madeline didn’t intend on killing him but when things heat up it just gets out of hand. “That’s going to attract a wonderful class of …show more content…
Amabella is the one who is getting bullied. She has never actually said explicitly that Ziggy is the one who hurt her. Everyone is assuming it was him because of the incident that happened at orientation. I think Amabella is lying and is scared to tell the truth because of getting bullied more. “I brought up the incident you mentioned at orientation day, and he was very clear that it wasn’t him. I’d be very surprised if he’s lying. If he’s lying, then he’s the most accomplished liar I’ve ever seen. And frankly, Ziggy does not show any classic signs of bullying personality. He’s not narcissistic. He most certainly demonstrates empathy and sensitivity,” Said the psychologist (Moriarty 327). I would believe the professional that Ziggy is not a bully or capable of it rather than just accuse without proof. If Amabella would say it was him and make a case for herself than it would be different. After all the facts it shows that Ziggy is not the one who has been bullying

Alex Billings is a nice, kind-hearted, young lady. Just like every person starting at High school whether it is Junior or Freshman year, Alex wanted to make new friends just like Ms. Pearson. Alex barely knew Ms. Pearson. So why would she falsely accuse someone she barely knew of bullying her? She wouldn’t! Ms. Pearson is known for causing trouble the year before in junior high as said by Principal Li after responding to an email a week later that was sent by Ms. Francis. Also she changed a student 's background on the computer to an inappropriate picture and when a teacher came by and saw the picture, Ms. Pearson didn’t get in trouble for doing it, the student did and the student wasn’t even in the room when Ms. Pearson did it. Ms. Pearson like to pull pranks and jokes on folks just for the fun of it but never even think about the results of what or how it might affect that individual.

Alex tried to ignore the situation but she couldn’t because it was getting out of hand. Ms. Pearson was mad because Alex told the counselor about the messages and the posts and knew that if she wasn’t going to get in trouble with the school, she was going to get in trouble some other

Along with all of the different narratives, there are multiple articles from local newspapers and magazines scattered throughout the chapters of Iris’s personal memoir.
