I think Killing Mr. Griffin was a very realistic book. To me it emphasized important themes such as loyalty, trustworthiness and courage.

The Emphasized meaning of loyalty was tinkered with through out the story. Loyalty was what most of the group had but courage, to tell the truth, most of them lacked. Most of them with the exception of sue. She out of everyone else was to me the most emotionally hurt because of Mr. Griffins accidental death and wanted to correct it. It was only her loyalty, and trust for Mark that held her back from performing her deed. Eventfully Sue broke free of Marks mental puppetry and was soon border lining the brink of death and betrayal. But as in any good story, everything comes to a happy ending (or Happy enough ending) and Sue got the chance to keep her life and keep mark- behind bars.
