PEOPLE ARE AWESOME

Colmbine 1-50

I switch books again because I had been waiting for this book all semester and just now got it. These first pages of the book really introduce you well to the two young boys who committed this horrible crime. The author explains Eric and Dylan's live though out high school very well. He talks about the type of things these two were into, the girls they talked to, their different personalities, and even where one of the boys, Eric, worked. It was very ere to read and learn about some of how these two went about planning and carrying out the massacre. It is extremely interesting and I when first started to read it was hard to put the book down. Mainly because we don't much about what happen and why these to kids did this. Here you get a first hand look and it really keeps you paying attention and wanting more.

This is my obscure animal of the week. The bear cat one of the most feared of all the mixed animals in the world. Mainly because its a bear and a cat combined. I would not want to corner one of these vicious beasts!

Here things got a little exciting. After the group got separated from the main pack and ran into what they thought was the Taliban. Luckily these highly trained men yelled out to make sure they were in fact good or bad. That man moved away from the other three guys that way if it was a group f terrorist they would not know exactly where to shoot. But it wasnt in fact it was a group of locals who were sent out to find them. They now headed to meet up with the other group of guys who had hike to the top of a ridge for a better look out spot. Once they meet up with the main group they all started a long grueling hike toward their new home which was a small Afghan village along a river. Good section to read was pretty interesting and kept me focused.

Oh Snap!

This section of the book really puts into view how strong the men who do this stuff for a living are. After a group of 4 men were separated from the main group behind enemy lines they hear something that they really dont want to hear at this moment and that is voices of other soldiers coming. When they here this the group of 4 men quickly throw down the heaviest parts of their packs and make a dash toward the bushes for cover. No more than 5 minutes after getting into the bushes a group of 6 Afghanistan men come into the clearing. This is a pretty intense moment because the Americans have their guns fixed on these men and they are hoping that they will not have to shoot so they don't give away their positions. But of course they do and the Americans don't have a clue what or if they should shoot. So they quickly decide to call out something to find out if maybe they are friendlys. Luckily for them when they do shout out to the 6 men they find out that they are indeed good guys.

One thing I have to see before I die.

There is something about going to a place where no one can bother you that really appeals to me. I think this guy found the right spot to go too.

These pages were a little more dry and not as interesting as the rest of the book. Yet it still provided a lot of information about the group of men that we were introduced to in the beginning of the book. Eric takes you all the way back to before 9-11 and tell you how these men were hand picked from the best of the best to be put into and elite group of warriors that would specialize in unconventional warfare. Unconventional warfare is where a small group of soldiers instead of large platoons of men. These men are highly trained in many different fields and work best best under pressure. That was basically all that took place during these pages; not as exciting as I hoped for but it was very neat.
