Brief Summary Of The Book 'As We Really Don T Cry'
Billy Weaver traveled from London to Bath for business reasons. He walked around Bath trying to find a place for the night. A porter recommended the Bell and Dragon, however when he saw the sign for the Bed and Breakfast, he was lured in. He was immediately greeted by a woman in her 40’s or 50’s, she seemed extremely nice but had some odd tweaks like having everything prepared as if she were expecting someone. She also seemed to be “checking out” Mr.Weaver who’s only seven-teen years of age. When Mr.Weaver was unpacking she asked him if he would sign the book. When he did, she gave him some tea that seemed to have a weird effect on him. I believe that the landlady poisoned and killed Mr.Weaver with intentions to keep his body.

My evidence that proves this statement goes as follows. Once Mr. Weaver drank the tea, one paragraph 480 he claimed to smell bitter almonds which is a smell that is released from cyanide poisoned victims. On paragraph 340 he noticed while he was signing the guest sign-in paper the landlady was moving pretty fast as if she was in a rush, this could have been her quickly inserting the cyanide into Mr.Weaver’s tea using the sign-in paper as a distraction. Mr.Weaver also notices that her fingers are irritated and red which can happen if you handle cyanide without protection.

Weaver were the only two occupants, but after the poisoning told Mr.Weaver there were others like Mr.Temple and Mr.Mulholland. Furthermore, if there were anybody still in the Bed and Breakfast Mr.Weaver would have heard them moving around up there or seen them come down. The landlady also knows what the other occupant’s physical features to an extent. On paragraph 420 she knows the color of their teeth, age, and naked

    James C. Peterson, author of Why Don't We Listen Better? Communicating & Connecting in Relationships, through trial and error learned the value of communication balancing in which he found that the counselor must listen awhile, talk until the other person stops hearing and then listen until the person calms enough to hear again.(Peterson, 2007 Pg. 5) This concept is enlarged into a process in which Peterson calls the flat-brain syndrome. The purpose of the writing of this book according to Peterson was to assist couples in gaining the communication skills needed to improve their relationship. In this book Peterson says to make personal connection with people communication skills need to involve the stomach, which puts our feelings into words, the heart which makes clear that we are putting our own feelings into words and the head which puts our thoughts into words. (Peterson, 2007 Pg. 16) Peterson says that he uses the flat-brain syndrome to understand the problem of failed communication. Peterson explains “communication is the lubrication designed to keep our functions of stomach, heart, and head working separately and together” (Peterson 2007, Pg. 16).…
