What is one important scene?What is one important scene?

An important scene that we found is when Susie was getting raped. Mr. Harvey (the next door neighbor) saw Susie and started talking to her . “I'm sort of cold” Susie said. “ I've made a hiding spot “ Mr. Harvey said . As she was inside of the hiding spot Mr. Harvey felt something more than a friendship and began to rape her.

The reason why we choose this scene was because this is where the story starts to turn to the worst , this is important because Susie was not thinking and she ended up listening everything Mr. Harvey was whispering to her.

“Please let me leave ”.Susie said “Your not leaving , Susie , Your mine now” (Sebold 12 ).

This scene is important because it shows how much Susie was pleading him not to rape her , and how Mr. Harvey took advantage of her .
