Awkward Childhood Pictures

Chapter 13: Columbine

In chapter Thirteen "1 Bleeding to Death" talks about the sign that was posted up on the second story of the science hallway. The signs purpose was to alert the medics that obviously someone was bleeding to death in the room, and that someone needed help. Sadly, Dave Sanders earlier described in the chapter "Dads" is the one bleeding to death. He spotted the killers in the middle of the hallway then was shot and had to crawl into the nearest classroom. Children had tried to aid them but knew that he was slowly dying.

The chapter also talks about the parents desperation while their kids are still in the school and also about parent-child reunions. It talks about Dave Sanders family and the troubles his wife is having with him not coming home the first night. She didn't sleep or eat, worried he might be dead however the police nor teachers would give her any news. Linda kept her mind on the little things like how she forgot to vacuum and other housework.

The research when the police talked to witnesses was very unreliable, many students were so traumatized that they had other ideas of what the killer looked like in their minds. Many kids thought there were more than two killers, which could be attributed for when the boys changed out of their trench coats making it seem like there were more than two.

The book so far has been really inthralling to read and I am enjoying every minuet of it. I love reading about all of the facts however hard it may be to realize what really went on and what happened.

YES

Columbine

Being that Columbine by Dave Cullen is the book I am reading currently I feel that it is right to make a post for the anniversary of Columbine today. Above I posted a picture of Patrick Ireland, a boy who nearly died from the attack but however he merely survived-- being that he was shot twice in the head.

Art Show

(I really like this cartoon image because it displays a bit of creativity, I love the drawings and colors.)

The playful and charming image this piece of artwork displays evokes childhood feelings for the viewer. The bright and warm colors of this cartoon create a jolly mood. The artist uses clean cut lines and the drawings are very geometric. The cartoon like layout examples a very childhood upbringing mood, leaving the viewer with nostalgic thoughts. The sharpie outlined characters convey a cleanness about the drawing, with all colors inside of the shapes and designs.

Chapter 12: Columbine

In chapter twelve, The Perimeter talks about the police action when the first 911 calls were heard. The first to the scene was a deputy sheriff named Gardner, he and Eric had exchanged gunfire through the first hour until further police, firetrucks and SWAT teams arrived on the scene. When the firetruck got to the scene the police then took all of the living victims and put them behind the barrier of the firetruck. The reasoning for the chapters name is that with all of the police cars and firetrucks they built a surrounding around the school and hid all of the kids behind the cars and trucks for safety. Many of the survivors were traumatized from the shootings and their descriptions and number of the shooters were all very inaccurate. Police now account that the reason for the different number of shooters is that when the boys arrived in the trench coats they took them off in the school and had only wore them in the first place as a means of getting the weapons and bombs inside of the building. Overall, police did all they could to help the recent living victims however many of the dead victims were left outside bleeding and were left there for a while.

In my opinion the way the police went about dealing with the surviving victims was a good makeshift plan for the problems at hand. However, the police's way of going about the dead victims was terrible and should never be repeated, again the book is very interesting and I am actually reading avidly.

One of the best looking men I have ever seen, minus Franco of course- hottest man alive.

Chapter 11: Columbine

In chapter 11, Female Down, when the boys decided to proceed into school it was 11:19, where they meet up from their original fire stations that they had planned to shoot from, at all of the students escaping the school. Both boys then went to the highest point of the school shooting all pedestrians outside of the school, when people originally saw the damage they thought that it was a Senior prank and that the boys just had paintball guns. A couple boys ran toward them hoping to play along with their prank but soon they were mistaken watching one of their friends get shot then running quickly away from the shooters. Most of the kids in the yard that were getting fired at soon learned that playing dead was the best way to stay alive because they weren't getting shot at. There were also many survivors personal accounts of the boys first moments of shootings. Many claim that the boys said "This is awesome" and were getting all hyped up about the shootings. Also from the accounts it seems as if they boys had no mercy when dealing with all students and another person killed was just a drop in the bucket.

Overall these few chapters are very enthralling, lately I haven't been reading books that have enveloped me as much as this book has. I really enjoy reading this and even at times I have had to set the book down because the book at times can get very intense.

Home #1: Pharell Williams

Looking at the home of Pharell Williams shows a comical more artsy side of him. His home has a more upbeat and jolly tone when looking at the multitude of artwork and different objects in his house. Noticing that he has murals of family guy characters alludes to his love of dirty humor and love of political ribaldry. Although his house gives off a funny flair his house is also very modern with a bit of hipsterness along with it. The cool hue's of his house create a more somber feeling when looking at his house but along with all of the artwork he gives the house personality.

Chapter 10: Columbine

In chapter nine, Judgement, the title of this chapter is called Judgement named after the name that Dylan and Eric gave the day planned. The book goes over the boys events for the Morning before the shootings. That morning the boys got all of their things ready and then they went out to get something to eat. In the morning they got the gasoline and arsenal which then the boys were behind schedule because of their allotted "chill time" was too much time. The boys had to hurry and put the duffel bags in the school in the morning and then wait for them to detonate. They then waited for the bombs to go off and after about twenty minuets they realized that the bombs were not going to explode and their main course of maximum density had failed. Still trying to recover their lost time in waiting for the bombs they decided to "proceed on faith."

Chapter 9: Columbine

Chapter nine, Dads, talks about a loving coach and teacher Dave Sanders. This chapter goes into Dave's personal life talking about his kids and his love life. Dave Sanders and Mr. D the principal were good friends all through their time of working. He was the basketball and became very close to some of the teammates and the school of Columbine came to know him as the coach to many girls. He was very considerate of his players and he took their attitude and their dedication into consideration when picking starting players. It also talks about his personal life a little bit. He i married to a woman named Linda Lou, she is very nice and by Cullen's descriptions he cares deeply about linda. It states that Tuesday morning, his wife and he were very busy and did not get to give their routine morning goodbye kiss, something Linda Lou will remember forever.

Chapter 8: Columbine

In chapter eight, Maximum Density, it talks about how the boys planned to eliminate the students of Columbine. This chapter talks about how the boys finalized their plans and how they obtained the weapons and skills of crafting bombs. In crafting bombs Eric designed seven big bombs from the Anarchist Cookbook that he found online. Both boys had been avid about keeping the plan in motion, however the book lets the reader think that Eric was more passionate about the killing spree rather than Dylan.

The boys also talked about their plans in setting up the bombs, they had designed for the bombs to go off at 11:17 during the lunch period in the lunch room and in the hallways for the maximum density of kills. They then as people ran outside of the building from the cafeteria they planned to shoot all survivors. The bombs were planted in specific places around the school so that the second story of the building would collapse and therefore kill even more students, thankfully the bombs never actually detonated. The boys also planned their outfits for the shootings, Eric wore a white shirt that said Natural selection on it and Dylan wore a black shirt that had Wrath on it. Both boys wore trench coats into the school, but they only wore the trench coats so that they could successfully hide their bombs and they could carry their guns into school.

Also, the book talks a little bit about the boys Monday before the Tuesday shooting. Dave Cullen states that the boys had a very uneventful day and they attended bowling club and went along their schedules as usual, not creating any suspicion.

Chapter Seven: Columbine

Chapter Seven talks about the Evangelical church and talking about religion in the city of Columbine. The title of this chapter- Church on Fire, is more of symbolism, alluding to the terrible things that happen in Columbine. However, the chapter reveals that Columbine is a very religiously active society and hold bible study, youth groups and listened to Christian rock.

Also, the book talks about the Monday morning after prom. It says that all students were accounted for and ironically it mentions Mr. D's relief to see all of his students "bright and shining faces" in the morning. Little does he know that tomorrow one of the worst shootings in high school will take place in his school.
