June and Jennifer Gibbons
Natalie Juarez
This was a short but informative article that described twin sisters and their life hardships in an intriguing way, which made me want to keep reading more. It is sad to know the twins were bullied because of their skin color that led them to reject the outside world to create their own between the two. I think it’s crazy how both Jennifer and June predicted that June was to only thrive if Jennifer died and how that came to be true. This was an interesting read!

This article had me intrigued to read all the way to the end. I’m sure the endless amounts of bullying and attending an all white school was the main reason the sisters latched on to each other even more. I cannot believe their actions spiraled out of control and caught a school on fire for no reason and then started their hate diaries towards each other. What loses my mind is how one even predicted the death of the other sister and the event actually occurred. It’s unfortunate one twins had to go for the other to begin living a better life but I guess it was meant to be. I loved reading this article!

I’ve read about the “silent sisters” before but wow you gave more depth! I wonder how they predicted Jennifer’s death and when exactly it would happen. Was it supernatural? or did she herself commit suicide? The whole story was crazy. I wonder what caused them to believe that they couldn’t live completely unless one of them died. So many questions unanswered but a very informative and engaging article!!

This was a great article! Being a twin myself, I felt like I could relate to parts of the beginning of the story, where the two sisters were close and did everything together. I think it’s mind-blowing that they were able to predict the exact date of Jennifer’s death. The two obviously shared a very deep connection, which at times seemed unhealthy, but the story as a whole was very interesting and the article was very well written.

I had never heard of the Silent Twins before. Honestly, this story is quite disturbing. Having two younger sisters I find it horrible how they abused one another and were, considering all things, quite okay with the fact that Jennifer had to die. What was their interaction with their parents? How did they react to these kinds of comments? It is sad to see how they gave up their dreams to become writers and go down such a dark path.

This was definitely a peculiar story. The author did an excellent job finding a unique story and still telling it in an interesting and intriguing manner. The story of these twins is certainly a mystery and some of the most perplexing details come with the death of of Jennifer. It’s interesting that their prediction was correct and that once Jennifer was deceased, June’s life did a complete turnaround. It makes one wonder if this is the only case of its kind or if another one will ever be seen again.

This article raises so many questions about the sisters and their so called “bond” , I mean did they really love eachother? How could she want her own sister dead? I know from personal experience that siblings can be a bother , but at the end of the day I don’t know what i’d do without them. I certainly would never wish any ill will towards them.

This article caught my eye because I have a sister, not twins but it was intriguing to me. The fact that they were twins and both somewhat close. Although they were twins, it did not seem to be that they necessarily. It is crazy knowing that June wanted her sister Jennifer to be dead and without Jennifer, her life was not the same and was different.

I loved this article! It was informative, suspenseful, and overall very well written. I think their bond was both beautiful and doomed from the start. Their seclusion from everyone else should have been an indicator of the troubles they were facing and it should not have gone as far as it did. It’s sad that their life went down the path it did with drugs and crime because they had the potential to be so much more.
