Advice
The advice that Jazz's father gave to him about covering up crimes constantly comes up throughout the book. It shows that Jazz's father has scarred him because he is unable to forget or let go of all of the murders he has seen. Because of all of the murders he has witnessed he believes that he can help with the murder that occurred in Lobos Nod, even though G. William, the sheriff, tells him to leave the case alone. Jazz doesn't allow himself to leave the case alone because he feels as though he can help solve it due to of all the murders he has experienced with his father.

I completely agree with you, Kelly! Jazz's father's advice on how to cover up crimes shows that it has scarred him. I like how Jazz is able to take his father's horrible advice and use it in a positive way, to help him find the killers. The murders he has experienced with his father in the past have haunted him, but he is using his past experiences in a helpful way. Even though hunting killers is dangerous, I like how Jazz is using his knowledge of murders to help out G. William and Lobos Nod. Jazz's ability to use his father's crimes to help himself hunt killers gives the terrible past a meaning. I'm so happy that Jazz is able to use the horrible advice in a good way and not act like his father.
