Why do authors write about killing?

Reading theses few stories I never bould understand how they would come up with such a story to write or even why they would write something so sad and depressing. But then of course they may not be sad and depressing to everyone. some people believe that your true colors show within your last few moments of life. I can see where that thought is coming from like if the victim is courageous and dies with a fight that can say a lot about a person but I still don't see why authors write about such things. Why not write about the people who show their true colors throughout their life and not just when death is looking them in the eyes. some stories like this makes me wonder if they are what influence the murders here today. I have never had the thought to kill so I don't necessarily understand where the murderer is coming from. Maybe they have a psychological issue and find some thrill about causing death for others. Honestly I did not like the stories we read and I am not excited to read more or talk about death this week. Even though it is something we all are going to face I prefer my death to be unexpected by old age and not a murder. I don't want to think of my death I am too young to die!

  1. I'm sorry the batch of stories this week in kind of grim. I would love to hear more in class about why you don't like the stories.
