Who Did It? ...No One - Brittany Goldberg

Today class was rather interesting, once everyone has gotten into class and the bell had rung, instead of us all grabbing a computer, we were all told to place our phones on Mr. Rivers' desk. After we all did, he then told the class that a computer screen had been broken beyond repair and showed us. He then explained that the class after us noticed it so it had to have been our class. He asked us who did it, but no on answered. Then kids in the class started asking questions, to help solve the problem and find out who did it. Some said "We could just check the computer number." Mr. Rivers check, and said this computer had no number, yet he didn't show us. He also said the padlock was changed, and he could no longer get into the computers.
Then, he stepped out of the room so we could take to Jake, about who might have done it, but no one fessed up. Mr. Rivers came back in then, the phone rang, and he dismissed a student who was apparently going to be questioned. He then showed us the rules and punishment for breaking a computer, and soon after the student who was being "questioned" came back. After, he took three students into the hallway to talk. However, the class was slowly beginning to catch on to this little game. Students started making theories about how this could very well be fake, and that it was also unethical. Then, a student had finally confessed, and he left for a moment, the Mr. Rivers revealed that this was all fake.
This all relates to the book we are currently reading and the time era it came out in because back then, if someone said you committed a crime, you where guilty even if you didn't. Even if you had good reasons why you didn't, or to help find who really did, you where guilty because someone said you were.
