Interview

J: Hey, how are you doing today Andre?
A: I'm doing well today, how about you sir?
J: I am ecstatic to be interviewing the Andre Dubus. What inspired you to write the story "Killings"?
A: Well, funny story. Just kidding. Actually, my friend was shot not too long ago because he was in a gang. It got me writing about killings that deal with shooting.
J: I see, but why such a murder based story?
A: Well every action has a reaction. Strout killied Matt's son, Matt killed Strout. It is about revenge. WHen my friend got shot, i wanted revenge. Instead, i wrote about revenge.
J: Very interesting. Who was your friend?
A: He was my god son. He was an 18 year- old gangbanger. He was a good kid who got mixed up with a bad group. I told his father to move to the suburbs, but they weren't financially well off. I wish i could've helped.
J: I am sorry for your loss. Which character is the story best relates to your god son?
A: Matt's son.
