| She Said Yes by Misty Bernall |
time: 2 hours.
pages read: 67
Today I started reading the book She Said Yes written by Misty Bernall. This book was about the author's daughter that got shot in a high school shooting. There were two high school students that went rampaging around the school setting off bombs and shooting everybody. The author so far mostly talked about what happened in the shooting, and just the 17 years of her daughter's life. She wrote about letters she found that her daughter and her friend wrote, and her story of the last day of her daughter's life.
It's really sad how her daughter dies. The shooters asked Cassie if she believed in god. "She paused, like she didn't know what to answer, and then she said yes. . . . . .Then they asked her why, though they didn't give her a chance to respond. They just blew her away. "--pg14 It's pretty sad why they shot her, and why they even thought of doing that. It's pretty stupid and it got me to wonder if the shooters got an influence from video games. In some video games, they plant bombs and shoot people, and which is what the high school shooters were doing.
I feel kind of bad for her mother in the part where she found the letters about Cassie wanting to kill her and such. Cassie got influenced by her friends, especially Mona. The author kept talking about how she was horrified and kind of scared. I was also shocked at the part about the letter Cassie wrote. " I would lock myself in the bathroom and hit my head on the counters. I also did this in the walls of my bedroom." It's weird that a high-schooler would write and want to do something like that. I wouldn't want to do that.... |
