Minne Cooper kör inte en Mini Cooper. Hennes bil är en vit Polo, och den svänger in till besöksparkeringen bakom en Mondeo och framför en Yard. Det är fyra personer i Mondeon och två I Yarisen. När hon får in Polon i ett utrymme är Minnie nöjd med att se flera knutar med människor som skräpar ner nära fordonen, som antagligen väntar på att receptions byggnaden ska öppnas.

Detta är egentligen ingen byggnad, det är en av dem bärbara sakerna som de utedassen man har på pop festivaler och den står på en utsträckt yta av asfalt utanför fängelsegrindarna. Ramper på varje sida som leder upp till dörrarna som är låsta. Ordet IN är fast på rampen, UT på den andra rampen. Två fängelse vakter står lutandes mot vars en sida vid IN skylten och röker. Ingen av dem kollar över på parkeringen, som fylls på.

För att besöka någon på fängelset behöver man tillåtelse. Minnie Cooper har inget sådant för hon känner ingen i fängelset. Hon känner en eller två person som borde vara i fängelse, men det är en annan sak. Hon vet att hon inte kommer förbi grindarna, men det är okej, det behöver hon inte heller. Allt hon behöver är att en av Gav’s föräldrar dyker upp. Eller båda. Hon vet hur dem ser ut, hon hade mycket tid att studera dom under rätten. Hon hoppas det blir idag, för att det är den sjätte gången på sju dagar hon kommer hit. Detta är ett fängelse med hög säkerhet, förr eller senare är det menat att någgon kommer märka henne och utmana henne. Fem minuter innan receptionen ska öppna, börjar besökar gå till rampen och kö formas. Minnie spanar in det från förarsätet men ser inget ansikte hon känner igen. Hon praktiskt taget avgick till nödvändigheten att riskera en sjunde vaka när en gammal röd Polo krasade förbi och nosar sig in i ett nära utrymme. Förarens dörr öppnas och Anna Ward kommer ut, bärandes på den kappa hon bar på rättegången. Hon ser äldre ut.

Branded

How do the members of his family react when they find out what Gav is accused of? 

Of course they get chocked. Gavs mum is hysterical and cries.  Page.11

How is his family treated by the people in the town after Gav is arrested? 

They are treated like they were a part of the murder. A parent in Kristy’s class asked why her daughter was put in the same class with the killer’s sister. Kristy then got moved to a little table by herself. They are treated as they were dangerous. Page 13

Why do you think people react that way? 

I think they are scared, scared to get hurt. Get hurt by Gavs family just because he’s accused of the murder, like they are a part of the murder. 

What is the role of the newspapers in creating this reaction, and why do you think the newspapers are so interested in Gav’s family? 

The workers on the newspapers think it’s peoples right to know who the killer’s familiy is. For the boss on the newspappers it’s very important that people know who’s their neighborgs are. Page 5

Is it right that the family members if a criminal have to move away and change identites? Could they have dealt with this situation in any either way? 

I think it’s so wrong that Gavs family have to change identites just because they are not a part of the murder. I think they could dealt with this situation differently. If the newspappers hadn’t written about Gavs family the people wouldn’t be so scared of his family. Now when it’s in the newspappers people think that his family are dangerous.

Hello Marzia!

You’ll never belive what happenend this weekend! You know Sam in the class over me? He suddently texed me, believe it or not but he asked me out. I was very shocked so I didn’t know what to anwser. I’ve felt a bit alone for about one week so I said yes. We decided to go to the bowling hall. He picked me up at 8 pm at my house. The first thing he said was ”You’re so gorgeous darling”. I felt so happy that he called me darling. I hope you understand how I felt that night. 

 We had a really great time at the bowlling hall but that’s not all. After maybe around 10 I think, he said ”sweetheart close your eyes, I’ve something to show you”  So I closed my eyes and when I opend my eyes I was very surprised. We were in Sam’s house and it was quite dark but there were som candels who lit up the room. He said to me to sit down in the sofa and I did. He went to the kitchen and came in with my favorite candy, chocolate and a movie. It was the best night ever!   

Write soon and I miss you very much.

My tranlation:

Hennes namn var Melinda Alice. Hon var smart, snygg och väldigt väldigt elak. Hon var så elak att dom andra barnen ville vara hennes vän. Efter allt, var det bättre att vara hennes vän än ett av hennes offer. En gång, tillbaka på lågstadiet en kom en ny tjej mitt i terminen. Hon var smal, blyg, bar glasögon och så klart hade hon inga vänner. “Connie,” döpte Melinda Alice henne till.

“Connie, Connie, Connie-Yuk!”

Det är inte mitt namn. Det är...

Hunger- Diary

Dear diary, today something terrible happend.  First my mother took me to the corner store to show me the way, and I felt so grown-up. I was so proud and happy! I felt important for my mother. But that wasn’t the terrible thing. The terrible thing was when my mother sent me to buy the groceries. I with a grin, took my basket and went down the sidewalk towards the corner store. By a corner, some gang of boys grabbed me. They hit me and beat me and take my basket and money. I was running home in panic. When home, I told my mother what happend and she didn’t comment it, she just wrote a new note and gave me some money. Then she sent me out to the grocery. Once again I saw the same gang of boys down the street, and again they stole my things and beat me up. I ran back home and my mother asked what was wrong. I  told her about the same gang of boys, I was scared but she just said I had to get over it and that I should go on and don’t pay any attention to them. I did what she told me. Went back to the corner store to buy the groceries.

Prao Hedenhös

I were an intern at the day care named Hedenhös. When I first walked in all the kids wanted me to play with them. So my job was to play with the kids. This is how a usual day looked for me.

I starded at nine o’clock to play with the kids. At half past nine it was time to clean up the toys. Then we ate fruit and at ten it’s was time to go out and play at the yard and in the sandbox. A quater after 11 I went to school to eat lunch. After lunch I played with two children because they didn’t sleep. And we did alot of things! We played with bobby cars, read books, played with clay and lego, built puzzles and made necklaces. When all the kids were awake at half past two it was time for a me. I ate with them then my day was over..

On Wednesday week 15 Hedenhös celebrated 30 years so we went to the big house to see Petson and Findus. 

It would maybe be a job for me in the future. Because it was so fun to work with all the kids and they were so cute. It was so fun to be so creative.

I can't live without my.................

I can’t live without my computer. I can do more things on my computer. Things that I can’t do on my phone. Like search after imoportant things like places in Sweden and in the world or keep a good contact with my friends and family. The most of my friends and family  live near my so I can take the train or the bus to them, but I have friends in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Småland and my cousin lives in Canada. So it’s more easy to call them on skype. In school it’s more easy to have I computer, I can find more fact faster and I can do work faster. Sometimes on my spare time I write storys just for fun, and when I do that I’m working on my swedish and my english. With the internet I can follow my favorites artists. About what they are doing on their days.

Good advice

I’ve fallen in love with my best friend’s sister. She’s only 13 and I’m almost 18! It’s so embarrassing. Please tell me what to do! My mate would kill me if he knew. 

Hello!

My advice to you is that you should talk with someone. A other friend to you or that friend that you have feelings for his sister and that you want to talk with her. It’s always best to be honesty. The truth can be very hard, but if you just want to tell someone is best you tell someone that you really trust. But the best is that you tell your friend ans then talk with his sister. Maybe he don’t see that as a problem. In my eyes age, is not a problem.

Friendship

A good friend is someone that you always can talk to, trust and someone how is there for you all the time. You can talk about everything, good thing, bad things, wierd things, boys, love and just normal things. You can tell a good friend things that you can't tell anyone else, because just your friend will understand your feelings. You can do everything together. Just talking about small things and do things together that really changes. A good friend never lies to you and always tell you the truth even if it is good or bad. He/she never let you down and if it something wrong it will notice that it instantly. But just remember one thing! A boy and a girl can be really good friends and can understand each other better than two girls/boys do!
