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 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.
