To this picture add a disastrous marriage and the burdensome fact that Mrs. Johnson was a Negro.

    1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”. This arouses our suspense because we are told Mr. Martin is planning to murder this woman. The suspense is maintained with Mr. Martin’s thoughts. We as an audience are given his thoughts through the use of the 3rd person omniscient point of view. His thoughts are mostly on the issue on his dislike of Mrs. Barrows. Because of this, he is plotting her murder. As the story continues Mr. Martin carries out his evil plan, which he has been creating in his mind for the past week. When he enters her apartment, the plan fails because of the lack, in his opinion, of appropriate instruments for murder. The surprise comes when Mr. Martin acts out of character by smoking, drinking, speaking out against his employer and not murdering Mrs. Barrows. This was all part of his new plan which he thought of in her apartment. “The idea began to bloom, strange and wonderful”, as stated by the narrator. The ultimate surprise is seen when instead of killing her; he gets her fired due to her “mental breakdown”. His goal of ridding her of his life was finally completed.…

    A Brother's Murder is a powerful and good story to read. It lets you know what is really going on in troubled and not so fortunate cities. In the author's opinion, being raised in a bad area is what make young people become involved in crimes and get killed. Also, lack of trying to better themselves. Sometimes if a person don't have too much guidance in their life or just distracted by the life they are living, they will never get the chance to get out of the bad area they are used to.…
