group reading

1. So far I still believe guns are bad. YEs they have killed people but the only reason I believe people should use guns is for personal defense. They should also be kept out of the reach of children.

2. Also I can understand why this people have wanted to get revenge. I have also been victim of cruel comments and jokes. The only diffrences is that I would never dream of killing another human life.

3. Were you pleased with the end?

group reading

1. Well first of all i would like to say that its reallt messed up how the coach seperates the good players from the bad ones. For example he puts the good people in the "winning team" and how he puts people like gary or brendon in the "losing" team. Also this is what I consider one of the reasons they want payback on all the people.

2. Another thing is that the people always beieng tortured are the nones that always keep it inside. This is what makes them go to such limits as to kill other people to distress themselves. I can relate to this because I used to get teased.

3. If you someone being bullied would you take charge or be a bystander?

Give a boy a gun

1. A part of the book that I thought was interesting was that the author insirts comments from deiffrent perople. This I thought made the story more interesting. For example seeing other peoples views on the events that happened. For example people talked about the kids and what they thought of them.

2.At the beging if the book I was a bit confused because it started off with a part of a suicide. I didn't really get it but after the first chapter I started to get what the author purpose was. I mean I understood the plot of the story. I really think this is going to be a great book because it also talk about how guns are affecting families every where.

3. Is the book livng up to your expectations? If not what did you expect?

REflection

Purpose:

The purpose of this project was to learn about moral courage, we also learned about the enviorment, for example we learned how the global warming is affecting the animals and our enviorment.
