Columbine Chapter One

In the first chapter Mr.D Dave Cullen talks about Mr. D the principal that all of the kids that go to Columbine actually like. Compared to the way students normally treat authority, they actually listened and cared about what Mr. D had to say. A a pep rally before the students prom that day he tells all of the students how important each one of them are to him. He also gives the usual lecture about no drinking and driving on prom and remembering to be safe. But unlike all of the principals, what makes him different, is the way he opens up to his students, involving them all in his speeches and the way he gets so emotional, almost crying to his students.
Also, in the end of the chapter, theres a sad note. It tells the reader about how Mr. D's students on Tuesday will be carried out in ambulances and taken to the hospital.
This book looks really interesting and the fact that it is non-fiction is what really draws me to it. I have always known the basic facts about Columbine but I really want to learn more about the topic. So far, its starting off pretty slow but I know that it will pick up.
