I believe Jennifer wanted to give us a strong sense of what exactly happened to her. This story was quite descriptive when it came to what actually happened, both during the rape and what happened after the rape. They were able to share each of their stories differently, yet completely together. Jennifer and Ron were able to tell thier individual point of view of the story. That way we couldn’t veiw our opinions strictly to one or the other. This gave both, Jennifer and Cotton, a turn to tell their story. I enjoyed being able to see both how Jennifer whent through the rape and questioning and being able to see what actually happened with Cotton. Writing this book in this pattern gave each character a turn to show their side of the story. The next chapter was told in the view of Ronald Cotton, the suspect. How things looked on her point of view, exactly how things happened on the night of her rape. She first told the story, in the eyes on Jennifer. Jennifer Thompson wrote “Picking Cotton” in a different sort of way.
