The Importance of The Impressionist
The
Impressionist, in my opinion, is one of the most important characters of the
novel. Not only did he idolize Billy
Dent, but he also could not comprehend how Jazz, or anyone for that matter, did
not want to follow in Billy’s footsteps.
I believe that if The Impressionist was to not be included in I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga, Jazz’s
efforts towards proving himself to not be like his father would not have been
as strongly intriguing and remarkable.
The Impressionist is the exact opposite of Jazz; he is impressed and a
complete fan of Billy’s work. On the
contrary, Jazz, who was subjected to the cruel, gruesome murders that his
father committed, wants to prove to everyone that he is not a murderer and did
not follow in his father’s footsteps. He
wants to help the police in their investigations by using the knowledge and
skills that he obtained from his father.
The Impressionist and Jazz are complete opposites. Both characters bold the characteristics of
each other because of how contrasting they are.
The Impressionist really defines the fact that Jazz could have easily gone
down the same dark path that The Impressionist did.
