In chapter two, "Rebels" it describes the two boys Eric and Dylan. The two boys who committed the shootings. Cullen describes the boys fairly normally, they had friends, dates and didn't seem too aggressive. Eric was the the brain of the two and he smoked, drank and got with girls. He was cool and had lots of friends. He was a ladies man and although he did make really good grades and studied hard. Dylan was a lot like Eric, however he was also very different. Dylan was self-concious and noticeable less attractive than Eric. However Dylan was a lot smarter than Eric he still looked to Eric for approval on everything that he did. Dylan looked up to Eric and was a follower of him, even though they were in the same friend group. The book also talks about how prom was nearing and ironically Eric was the one without the date, he had put all his time and effort into getting Dylan a date.
The book also talks about how the two boys speak to each other. Eric leads the conversations, the more social one while Dylan is more taken back and withdrawn but he still enjoys in interesting conversation.
Listening to the descriptions of the boys really interests me, it really surprises me that they did that because the author describes them fairly normally. It is really interesting to read about how they were and the way they interacted with each other and others. I'm looking foreword to getting past the descriptive stuff in the book and really looking into the events that occurred on that sorrowful day.
