The "Racketeer," by John Grisham; Predictions.
In the book the Racketeer, by John Grisham, the story currently takes place inside a low security prison. The protagonist was a lawyer, until he was found guilty of conspiracy. He lost his license to be a lawyer. Though he is innocent, him and two other ex-lawyers are serving a ten year sentence. It has already been five years since they arrived. The main character, Malcolm Bannister, has a son that will be sixteen when he gets out of prison. Malcolm is serving time for something he didn't do , and he can't see his little boy grow up. His wife divorced him and remarried, and Malcolm has nothing left. From what I have read so far I predict that evidence will come out proving Malcolm is innocent. The two ex-lawyers that he came to jail with never told the court that he was innocent, therefore he was found guilty. I think one of them will come forward and tell the court that Malcolm is innocent. What do you think is going to take place in the near future?

what do you think it will take for him to help Malcolm?
ReplyDeleteI think he will be convicted as guilty and will then prove the judge wrong.
ReplyDeletei agree with owen
ReplyDeleteMalcolm should be pretty angry he will probably hurt one of them. and i don't think the other lawyers would do anything for him even after 5 years. He has to do it himself.
ReplyDeleteMichael I really liked how you used context clues based on what you have already read and used those to come up with your predictions, I have actually read this book and you will be in for a wonderful treat, it is very engaging and really leaves you hanging after every chapter.
ReplyDeleteI think Malcolm will either escape from jail or get proven innocent and find his wife and son.
