Suzanna Simpson, mother of two children, allegedly killed her 5 and 7 year old, while severely injuring her husband. Suzanna had tried to commit suicide but couldn't bring herself to do it. She instead went on a rampage killing her children and injuring her husband. Afterwards, she told authorities, she tried to kill herself but "couldn't bring [herself] to do it." The author of the article portrays Suzanna as being crazy and mentally unstable, which I think plays a role in how the audience views her. The author begins with her mental instability and then leads into the crime she committed. I think the author does this so that people understand that she wasn't a stable person, but also that her actions are not justifiable or any excuse. The authors use of diction about the mother of the two dead children allows the audience to see what a monster the woman is, but also see how ill she was.
