The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin

Chapter 20: Confessions

"'There are too many maybe's here, which is what Sam Westing planned. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted from the real issue: Which heir did Sam Westing want punished?'
'The person who hurt him the most?' Sandy guessed.
'And who would that be?'"

Choose and answer three of the following:
1. Who do you think is having this conversation with Sandy? How do you know? Provide evidence to support your answer.(Hint: title of chapter 8)

2. Who do you think Sam Westing wanted punished? Why? Give a name. Is that person the same one that murdered him or not? Why?

3. Who do you think hurt Sam Westing the most? Why?

4. Describe Sandy in your own words. Do you think he or the person he is talking to is the murderer? Why?
