In chapter five "Two Columbines" it talks about Dave Sanders the business teacher and girls basketball coach. He is described as hard nosed, strict but overall a nice guy. He is also famous for "his look" which can get students to stop talking in an instant. He also devotes his life to the girls basketball team and how much he cares about the girls. The chapter also reveals a bit about his personal life, how he was divorced because his wife claimed she was "married to herself" and was never home. He also got married again to Linda Lou who had two kids and so he had three kids including the one from his first marriage, he adopted the second two and really created the whole image of a family.
In the second part of the chapter it talks about prom. Where a boy named patrick contemplates his dates and contemplates his crush Laura. But she gets asked before he gets the chance. However at the dance they share a slow dance together, both of their favorite memory of prom. It also talks about a girl, Cassie Barnell, a girl who didn't get asked to prom but then went to all of the afterparties.
Reading this chapter I think about why the author is choosing to describe these characters.
