Uddrag

Her giver vi et lille uddrag af, hvad denne study guide indeholder:

Topic

The text is about what causes teenagers decide that the only way to deal with their problems is shooting others, namely their schoolmates. The author focuses on the latest school shootings in Santee, by Andy Williams. The piece does not describe in detail the actual shootings, but Andy’s background; his life and actions before the tragic events: “Charles Andrew Williams had been a lost boy for some time -hopelessly adrift in a dysfunctional, anonymous suburban landscape, craving acceptance but too often meeting rejection instead”. (p. 54, ll. 11-16)
