  1. Why he did it in my opinion is to get a good laugh, or possibly because he was going insane and that he tried to survive and as a last resort he tried to get one of the relatives to unknowingly keep him alive. Do I have weird thoughts? ~TAYLOR~

  2. I think that he did it to protect himsellf and the others from a terraible life time in jail. another reason he might have done it is because he just wanted to get to know his heirs, save him self from a terible fate, or faked dying to live but a normal life.

  3. I think Sam Westing did what he did because he did so the heirs would not find out what he did. I also think that Sam Westing wanted to make sure that the will was read and somone won.

  4. I think sam Westing did what he did because he wanted to see who would find out and to make everyone think he was really murdered. Also, I agree with Taylor because he had watched how they reacted with one another and how clueless some of them were

  5. I think that Sam Westing did what he did because he wanted to see what crazy things they would say. I also think he did it because he wanted his money to go to someone instead of just laying around.

  7. I agree with Devon because of his money. What would you rather have, one million dollars or a normal life? But I also now think that he did it to live a normal life for a while. But to live three lives at once? World record!~TAYLOR~

  8. Yes Taylor, you do have weird thoughts and I agree with you that he did it for a good laugh but also to get to know his heirs.

  9. I agree with Taylor because he most likely was insane. Also, he might have wanted to be someone else for once instead of big shot Sam Westing. Lastly, he was mentally insane so he created a rumor that he was murdered.
