This passage really let me see how Len imagined his mind and his thoughts as well as how the author wanted to portray Len, as a mentally ill person.

Another main event of this book is when Len takes Cameron to his father's work place and they experience his boss yelling at him. This is a main event because I think it is when Len finally broke down mentally. These are a few of the main events of the book, "Shooter".

The shooting is not discussed very much in the first interview but it is all that is talked about in the last interview.

If Len or someone close to hi, had realized that something was wrong, they could have gotten him help. If that had happened, the horrific events in the book may not have occurred. That is why the main theme of the book is to not be afraid to ask for help. ]]> 2018-08-19 18:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273918991 2041719 https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273945515 This book follows the various interviews and pieces of evidence that help lead to a better understanding of a school shooter, his motives, and the events that lead to the shooting.]]> 2018-08-20 00:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273945515 2041719 https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273947175 Walter Dean Myers has a very unique writing style. He changes the perspective of who is talking very often throughout the book, he also adds small details that help you understand more about the story as well as the characters at the same time. There are not very many authors who can do that]]> 2018-08-20 00:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273947175 2041719 https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273947220 I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was entertaining to read and it also made me realize how much of an impact bullying can have on a teenager. Myers put school shootings in a new light by telling the story of one from the perspective of someone extremely close to the shooter, which helps the reader understand more about what a mentally ill person is going through as well as their thought process. I think people often imagine school shooters as monsters, when really most of them are just mentally ill or bullied individuals who were too afraid to ask for help, but I think this book helped correct that common mistake. Overall, I enjoyed the book as well as the lesson it taught.]]> 2018-08-20 00:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2041719/v5hkhznkzkgc/wish/273947220
