Blog #3--Conflict and Resolution
The major issue that was resolved in this book "The Counterfeit Son" was that Neil's identity was revealed. By the end of the book he was diagnosed with amnesia, it turns out that Cameron is the real Neil Lacey. The police officers completed the investigation and found all 23 bodies and one of them was Cameron Miller. Over the 6 years that Neil was abducted he was brain washed and with all the blows to the head he has suffered from amnesia. Near the end of this book Cougar, who was helping Hank Miller with these crimes found where Neil was hiding. He was severely beaten and demanded Neil to steal from the Lacey family because he needed money for his addiction. He obviously listened to him and for the second time when they met up, what he had wasn't good enough. He then wanted the key to the Lacey's house to see what he wants for himself, if that didn't happen he would make his little brother Stevie disappear. This was all resolved because Neil saved Stevie from Cougar, Cougar was arrested for good, the DNA test was positive and the mystery was over. All the families that have suffered for numerous years has received closure, especially the Lacey family can now continue their lives in peace.
If you knew someone who suffers from amnesia, would you believe everything they say? Would you need proof of what is being said? Or would you think everything they say was false?

I would probably need proof of what is being sad. because I think that having proof shown it allows you to believe what is being said other then just believe in it or not believing. believing in everything that is said can take a turn on you for believing it and not believing what is said can also affect the person who is talking to you.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew someone that suffered from amnesia, it would depend on how well I knew them. If I knew them very well, I could probably tell if they were lieing or not, but if I barely knew them, I would definitely need proof of what was being said. Always believing in what people say can create unnecessary problems. Having proof will clear things up.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew someone that has amnesia, I wouldn't think everything they say is lies, I would make them show me proof of whatever it might be.
