Starting Out

Hey!! My name is Calli Palmer. I am a sophomore at Carbondale High School taking an English 2 class taught by Mr. Dunn. He gave us 4 non-fiction books to choose from to read in the span of 6 weeks and to write a blog about the book (the reason that I am writing this blog). The book options were Outliers, Friday Night Lights, Fast Food Nation, and Columbine.

The book that I decided to read was Columbine, by Dave Cullen.
So far in this book, Dave Cullen has written about the events that are about to happen, like prom, and he keys into the shooting the Tuesday afterwards. He explains what Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are like, and where they stand in the social circle. He writes that Eric is the more popular one of the two. He has the girls, the looks, and surprisingly, the brain. Dylan is shy with girls, doesn't have as good as looks, but also has the brain. Because, of their popularity, no one expected them to do what they did, and it was a shocker to the world.

The main point of this book is to tell the story of went on that day of April 20, 1999, before it takes place, and afterwards. That story is going to be briefed up on this blog.
