In this blog, my class was asked to find 3 interesting quotes from the book that we are reading. They could be quotes that had to do with major elements of the book, the main conflict, the major themes, characters, or they could just be quotes that popped out to us.
On page 138, the quote that I found interesting was "Dave Sanders's daughters were angry." This was the first line of chapter 26. The first thought that came into my head was "What exactly happened to him?" That's what his daughters wanted to find out. How did he die? Why didn't anyone try to help him? Well people did try to help him, but they were forced to leave him behind. He was shot 2 times. A teacher and some students were in the hallway that saw it happen. They got him up and took him to Science Room 3, where he would eventually pass. One of the students took care of him as best as he could until SWAT teams rushed in. They told everyone that they had to follow them and get out of the school. When Dave Sanders was mentioned to them, SWAT told the students and teachers to leave him and someone would come back to him later. It wasn't suppose to be long for someone to get to him, but with everything that was going on, SWAT had to take precaution to get to him. By the time that a medic got to Sanders, he had already bled out. That's why his daughters were angry. If someone would have gotten to their father sooner, they feel like he would've had a better chance of living.
On page 148, is where I found my second quote, which is, "The choice would cause tremendous confusion." You might be a little confused by this quote since you have no idea of what the choice is. Well I will tell you. Eric and Dylan had decided to start wearing black trench coats. There was a mafia, the Trench Coat Mafia (TCM), that as you have probably put together, wore trench coats. When students saw the shooters wearing these trench coats, they figured that the TCM must have had something to do with the shooting. There is the confusion. Eric and Dylan were never part of the mafia. When students told police who they thought it was, they starting rounding up the members and "tagged" them as suspects. They would later find out that the TCM had nothing to do with it.
On page 170, is where I found my last quote. It reads, "He's telling us why he did it." This is what Dr. Fuselier thought when he first started reading one of Eric's journals. Since the minute that he had gotten to the school during the shooting, he had been thinking what would drag teenagers to do this. Well, now he had all of the answers.
For the last part of this blog, we were asked to go to one of our classmates' blogs and answer one of their level 3 questions from their week 2 blog.
I have decided to answer a question asked by my friend Morgan, who is reading Fast Food Nation.
This is her question:
What is your opinion of fast food and how does it impact your life?
In my opinion, fast food is some sort of creature that pulls you in from ads that you see on t.v. and can destroy your life. In commercials, fast food restaurants, like McDonald's, looks healthy. But in reality it is full of grease and fat that can make you really sick in the long run. Yes, it does taste good, but it is very harmful to one's life. Fast food doesn't really impact me much because I don't eat it unless I am desperate for food and it's the only thing that I can get.
