Susan- "I will never know why"

At the beginning, her character was Dylan's mom, and she shift it to character as supporter of suicide. I like how she told her story of Dylan and the how the shooting event happened. She talked about how she felt when the event occard, and that makes audience into her story. And also her detailed descriptions make the story interesting, and kind of suspense feeling.

She talked about how she feel sorry for other people who Dylan killed. She put objection that others might blame her being monster parent. She argued it by saying she is also victim of the event. She gave a lot of fact how society, newspaper, radio treated her as monster parents, and saying it was parent's fault that Dylan killed. She said she felt humiliation. I think these things bring audience sympathies with her, even Dylan did bad thing, and could be her fault some part. She is reducing her responsibilities as Dylan's mom by telling how society treated her bad. But still she shows she think that she has some fault.

She talked about Dylan wanted to kill himself, but didn't wanted to tell anybody. That brings her to argue, it is important to notice the signal in people. If she could notice Dylan's signal, she said, she could prevent the trategic event. Therefore, it is important for her to support suicidal prevention organization. This is how she shift her character of preventor of suicide from mom of killer.
