Columbine: Chapter Three

In chapter three "Springtime", it talks about the way that the school looks. Up by the rockies in a small valley surrounded by lush green. It was spring so everything around the school is starting to bloom and along with spring was coming senioritis. It talks about columbines lunch system and how they have an open campus and how the boys would pack one of their cars with a slew of boys and then went to a fast food restaurant. Mr. D in this chapter talks about his love for running lunch duty, where he gets to talk to all of the students and he enjoys conversing with all of the students. Unlike many of the teachers who don't necessarily love lunch duty and make fun of Mr. D for liking it.
Also, this chapter talks about how there has been school shootings for the past, and that society had hoped that there would not be another high school shooting for a while. However, everyone all over the United States were wondering when the next outcast would strike.
Although this chapter was smaller than the others it still revealed a lot of information about the boys and Columbine high school in general. Also leaving a little foreshadowing in the end.
