BA 2 Open Secrets

  1. The Secret that's being kept from the reader in open Secrets is the disappearance of Heather Bell. On page 136 Miss Johnstone makes a comment that "One's taken it into her head to go missing" That shows that she didn't even care the girl was missing. Also on page 140 the comment is made "that a girl was seen getting into car or hitchhiking." You Have to wonder was is Heather Bell? And was it plan?
  2. I think another secret that's being kept from the reader is the secret behind Marian Hubbert and her husband coming to visit Lawyer Stephens. I fell like they might have been involve in the disappearance of Heather Bell. I think the reason why they came to him first instead of going to the police is they probably felt scared. On page 152 the husband when asked by Lawyer Stephens if you notice his hand start to pull on the cloth like he is hiding something. It makes you want to take a second look at them both.
  3. Both the secrets relate to Heather Bell disappearance and to Maureen. The reason why the two are related is because the story revolves around Maureen she being told the story by Frances. And she's also involve when Marian Hubbert and husband come to visit Lawyer Stephens. I think the reason Maureen involve because she might be able figure out what happen to Heather. She might hold the key to the secret that is taken over the town.

I agree with these two secrets. The author gives you the sense that the couple may have had something to do with the dissapearance of Heather Bell, as well as others in the story. The thing about "Open Secrets" is that it has an open ending when it comes to Heather's dissapearance, since it gives you clues to many people that could be linked to her dissapearance.
