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.
