But what is normal? Is it what everyone else is doing that makes it \u201cnormal\u201d or is it because it is socially accepted at a geographical location that makes the conventions \u201cok\u201d? Whatever the case might be, Veronica Mars, the title character of the series, is anything but normal. Instead, her involvement in Lilly Kane\u2019s murder and her unresolved rape case are reactants that helped shape the detective that she is now.<\/p>\n

Well, how does this matter? As a former teenage girl with normalcy in her life, Veronica has never witnessed such a heinous crime. This turning point marks the transition of the innocent schoolgirl to the sarcastic and witty teenager that she is now.<\/p>\n

How does that change anything?\u201d For one, the rape that occurred shortly after coupled with the murder of her best friend shook her trust in the police force. This in turn made her more wary of her surroundings and questioned the motives around her. Does that sound familiar to the behavior that a person of a certain occupation does?<\/p>\n
