While reading I Hunt Killers, I took some of the the traumatic and abnormal experiences of the main character Jazz, and incorporated into my life. Being a teenager myself, it is difficult to entertain these thoughts. Jazz's childhood is tragic, growing up with a father who is one of the most brutal and insane serial killers in the world. Jazz had experienced disturbing and traumatic things that haunt him throughout the story. Not being able to imagine this, I came to two conclusions. The first one was that once I tried to put myself in Jazz's shoes, it made me realize that Jazz had fought a hard and disturbing upbringing, and for someone that age to try and live a normal life after experiences like that deserve respect, even if Jazz is a fictional character. The second thing was that I took time to appreciate my family, who made sure they did everything in their power to equip me with everything I needed to have a good childhood.
