So far this book is really, really good. I am so immersed in it and it is constantly exciting and shocking. It is about a high school shooting. An overprotected nerdy outcast, named Peter, decided to shoot as many people as he could in his high school. He had been tormented and bullied and believed what he was doing was only fair. Peter didn't see the wrong in what he was doing. He thought that since the bullies never got in trouble for ruining his life, why was he getting in trouble for ruining theirs'? He didn't see the difference.
I think that this is a very important issue in today's society. Gun violence is a very dangerous and terrible thing that needs to be stopped, but more importantly....the motives need to be stopped. If Peter wasn't bullied and was actually helped by his teachers and parents than he wouldn't have found the need to murder people. If people had treated him a tiny bit better, or if he had one single friend that could have talked him out of this. Lots of kids would have still been alive. I feel like this is a scary topic that is becoming more and more common because of the recent school shootings. This is a common thing today that needs to be thoroughly addressed and stopped.
