What exactly happened with the 1st bomb In The Westing Game?
The first bomb goes off in the kitchen of the Theodorakis family’s coffee shop, the second goes off in the kitchen of Hoo’s restaurant, and the third goes off in the Wexlers’ apartment during Angela’s bridal shower. It’s eventually revealed that Angela herself is the one who set these off.
Who is the bomber in the Westing Game?
Turtle makes a hasty excuse and leaves. Turtle knows that Angela is the bomber, and so does Sydelle—but Theo is in the dark. Turtle, however, interprets his statement to mean that he knows about Angela and is going to do something about it.
Why was the fourth bomb set off in the Westing Game?
It’s eventually revealed that Angela herself is the one who set these off. The fourth, set by Turtle in order to try to maintain the illusion of her sister’s innocence, goes off in the elevator.
Why did the bomb go off in the elevator?
It is possible, however, that she was trying to scare the others. The final bomb goes off in the elevator with Turtle inside, singing one of her braids and causing pain “too great to be put into words” (129). This one is set by Turtle, and she confesses to it.
How many bombs does Angela get in the Westing Game?
Angela’s bombs take three attempts to fulfill their purpose—and by the third bombing (which permanently disfigures Angela’s face and hands), it is clear that the Westing game players would rather point fingers at immigrants and minorities than someone as “perfect” as Angela.
