The raven actually makes sounds that are easily decipherable. where a parrot usually does not sound human, if I did not see the raven I would assume it is a human speaker.
"Dumb rich kids." It is as if being rich somehow makes them different. What would the sentence have been if they had been poor? And what sort of person plays with people's lives like that anyway? "Oh, I think I will kidnap a bunch of children and hold them for ransom, see if these people pay up." How moronic of an idea is that? I do think they should get life. People are not toys, we do not live in the dark ages, you cannot try to bury alive someone because it is fun.
