Murder at the Pentagon

May 26 2011

The story that I read was Murder at the Pentagon by Margaret Truman. She wrote a wonderful piece about the Pentagon from the inside and all of the conflicts that arise throughout the normal workday at the Pentagon. Margit Falk is a defense attorney and is to defend Captain Robert Cobol in a murder trial.

Margit Falk is at the Pentagon for just another day at the office when breaking news is spread. Margit Falk is a static character throughout this whole story by sticking to the truth and standing by everything that she believes. The breaking news is that the famous Dr. Joycelen had been murdered, but by who was the question. After this had spread all over the news for the next week and the FBI had investigated this they came up with a name, who might have murdered Dr. Joycelen. Dr. Joycelen is a static character throughout this story because he is only alive for a little while in this story. He couldn’t have changed if he was dead. So the FBI believes that it was a person by the name of Captain Robert Cobol. Captain Robert Cobol is a dynamic character throughout this story. He changes in emotional ways. He is first calm and collective but then he becomes a madman when this crime goes to trial. So the FBI investigates this whole murder scene and came up with a motive to the killing. They believe that the motive behind this killing is that Captain Robert Cobol is a homosexual. According to the armed forces if you are a homosexual you cannot serve your country in the military. So Margit Falk is assigned to this case as a Defense Attorney to Captain Cobol.
