For example she said, " I got tired of wiping jelly fingerprints off the TV screen"(87).

Much like the plagues of Egypt, frogs, bugs, disease, and many other things are sent to free the secret from the town as the Jewish people needed to be freed from Egypt. The secret of the vigilante’s wrong doing wantes to be released, and so the town of Havenhill, later known as Bellhaven is cursed. Without him saying anything, the secret of his innocence has been buried with him, at the liberty tree. Although if he was in fact given his fair trial, these people would have seen that Jessup Wildemere was in fact an innocent man who was blindly blamed by his so called true love.

The vigilantes don't even give poor Jessup a fair trial before they hang him from the branches of the Liberty Tree in Havenhill. The townspeople truly must feel the pressure of fear the night that the Bellhaven vigilantes take matters into their own hands and carry out the execution of Jessup themselves. In Havenhill, 1798, Jessup Wildemere is considered a murderer. The author never says word for word that Devin has acted selflessly and has changed, but it is inferred because of the author’s use of indirect characterization. Then in the last quote, by telling the reader that Devin is willing to trade her future at popular schools for the lives of people she cares about, the author is also using indirect characterization to tell the reader that Devin has now become selfless. Through these quotations, she can be portrayed as a selfish character, even without the author directly telling the reader that she has this trait. They wrote about how she has gotten into the colleges she had wanted and was worried about how she would pay for them, when she should have been worried about Simon and the fact that his life was at stake.
In the first two quotes on pages 52 and 53, the author indirectly stated that Devin only cared about herself. These are all examples of indirect characterization of Devin that show that at first, she was selfish, but later became selfless. Then, later in the story it says, “.she would trade her future at Cornell, or any of the schools where she had been excepted under false pretenses, for the lives of Simon and her grandmother" (195). Now, with Simon in a coma, she wondered how they were ever going to pull off this last crucial part of the plan"(53). The scholarships were to be part of ’the project‘. Then, soon after in the text it says, “there was no way in hell her parents would ever be able to pay for her college education. She knew… she had been accepted to both”(52).
When she got home, Devin found two thick envelopes in the mailbox, one from Cornell, her first choice, and another from Middlebury. In order to do this, she had to joined “the project” to get exceptionally good grades and not only get accepted to ivy league schools, but get scholarships for them as well. Devin also goes through many changes as a character, for instance, in the beginning of the book, Devin believes that in order to secure a good future for herself, she has to go to a well known school.
