A Simple Plan Essay, Research Paper
The book all starts when three men, Hank, Jacob, and Lou they are
driving and to avoid a fox they end up running into a fence. They got out to
hunt the fox but then while looking for it, they find a plane in the nature
preserve. So Hank goes inside and finds a dead pilot and a bag full of money,
four point eight million dollars. After they find it they agree to wait to see
if anyone is looking for it and they will wait to split it up three ways in the
spring when the plane would be discovered. The next day Hank and Jacob go
back to put five hundred thousand back in the plane, to look like he had not
been robbed, but then Dwight Pederson came on his snowmobile and was
about to find the plane so Jacob beat him up. He thought he killed Pederson
but he hadn’t so when they went to make it look like an accident Hank had to
finish him off and then throw him in the river. They end up getting away
with it and everybody thought it was just an accident.
After a while Lou starts to get anxious for the money and he
threatens Hank that if he does not give him the share of the money then he
was going to turn Jacob and him in for killing Pederson. So then Hank and
Jacob set up Lou and made it look like he killed Pederson, and they said you
wait till spring for his share and the tape would not be released. Then Lou
flipped and got his shotgun and was going to kill Hank if he did not give him
the tape, so he was about to shoot Hank and Jacob killed Lou with his rifle.
Then Nancy came down and thought they did it on purpose and she got her
gun and went to kill Hank so Hank shot her with Lou’s shotgun. Then he went
to Sonny Major’s house and told him to go to Lou’s house quick and when he
did they undressed him and shot him upstairs with Nancy. Jacob was
starting to freak out and wanted to tell the truth so Hank could not take
the risk so he killed him. When the cops arrived Hank had made it look like
Lou came home drunk and found Nancy and Sonny sleeping together so he
killed both of them and then on his way down, Hank and Jacob had come
back when they heard the gunshots, and Lou shot Jacob and Hank killed Lou
in self-defense. They went through all of this trouble just to keep the
money and at the end they find out it was from a kidnapping and that the
FBI had written down twenty percent of the bills serial numbers, so Hank
and Sarah would never know which ones were safe so they burned all of the
money. They also ended up having two children but there first born drowned
in a pool but was revived. She would never be the same though she had
suffered severe brain damage.
