The knife is a short story in which Denny from the National Enquirer gets a call from someone named Julius who says that they have the weapon that O.J. killed his wife with. This story is alright. i will definitely not say it is one of my favorites.
The book was kind of pointless. Through the whole thing it is pretty much just them trying to actually talk to Julius. When Julius actually gets there Denny is having second thoughts about the whole thing. being in his situation would be stressful. He has to pretty much determine on the spot whether or not the weapon is legit. "It was wrapped in a plastic bag, like this grocery bag. Wrapped real tight, and my friend dropped it in the shallow end of the lagoon, there's not as much water there. But then he got scared, that's when he told me. I should have listened with my first mind, but I said I'd help him."The weapon was wrapped in a shaving case and a plastic bag. Julius comes up with the story that he was givin it by O.J. himself.
As Denny and Julius are sitting there looking at the knife denny is reallysuspicious. "$100,000," said the cop. "That's a lot of money. Where would a fellow like this get $100,000?" He looked right into my face. "I didn't say a thing about $100,000, I told this guy that I would take a look at the knife to see if it was authentic." They were sitting in the coffee shop and Julius gets mad just cause he wants money. Julius Yells and the cops come. Denny tells them what it is and the cops figure out that the knife is not real.
i think the main idea would have to be likr things arent as they seem. the knife seems good when yoiu are told about it but you can only tell when it is sitting in front of you.
If i was in this situation i would be so mad. Julius just lied to him and was just trying to take his money. Then he didnt even get what he wanted from him. I guess thats how it is in this whole though everyone is looking for the quick money.
