How would you feel if you were threatened by a mafia killer?
Well in the novel, The Client, by John Grisham, an eleven- year- old boy
knows some information that the FBI needs to convict a mafia killer. In the
process of gaining this information, his younger brother goes into trauma-
caused- semi- comatose state and needs special twenty- four- hour medical
attention. If he tells the FBI the mafia has threatened to kill his family. If
he doesn’t tell the FBI, they will put him in a youth lock- up facility. Even
though the mafia has threatened to kill his family he should still tell the FBI
the information he knows. He should tell because a lot of good things would
come out of telling them.
First
if he is too scared to tell, he could get FBI protection/ witness protection
for him and his family. Doing this would keep them safe from any harm. Especially
since his little brother is now in a semi-coma, because of the situation they
are in. If they get witness protection then their family would become closer.
Whether for the good or the bad
there family is going to become closer no matter what. So if he tells the FBI
that means he wouldn’t have to go to the youth lock-up facility. With him
staying home his brother could get better because he could feel his brothers
presence there with him. His little brother also looks up to him and wants to
be like him, brave and courageous. He just feels safe around him, considering
he is the person that has been his best friend his whole life. If he would tell
them and be able to be with his family he could support them. He would be able
to support his mom both in and out of work. He could stay with his brother
while she went to work for a couple of hours and then she could come back. That
way they were somewhat financially stable. It would also increase the amount of
trust his mom would have for him, and she would appreciate it very much.
Trust is an important thing. If
he told the FBI he would be trusted. More of the higher authorities would trust
teenagers, instead of blaming them for crimes, and lies. Trust from family and
people around you are very important. Another thing that is important is for
the mafia to be convicted.
If he would just tell the FBI
agents then they would convict the mafia. They would be put in jail and locked
up for a long time. Maybe his family would feel safe again, with the mafia
convicted. He could tell the FBI and then the mafia would be locked up. Having
the mafia be convicted then there would be no need for witness protection.
Others would also be safer, because the mafia wouldn’t be out in the open. Who
knows what they were planning, maybe a killing spree or the next assassination,
who knows? It’s best if he would tell the FBI agents as soon as possible.
With all of these reasons it is
a good idea to tell the FBI! You do what you have to do, but it is always
better to do what is right. Doing what is right and keeping your values in play
is always something to keep in mind. It is the best thing you can do! He should
tell them because it is respectful to the FBI agents who can do whatever they
want. They are part of the government and they can do whatever they want with
you. Not only should he tell them because it is respectful, but it is also the
best thing for him to do for him and others in the community too. He should
tell the FBI agents as soon as possible because it is easier than having to
deal with the government. He should really tell them.
