Nineteen minutes is an incomprehensibly sad book about a tragedy when seventeen-year-old Peter Houghton shoots killed nine fellow students and a teacher, but even more so it's about things going on in virtually every school around the country each and every day. It's about to be part of the team - to be part of a context - or to be outside. It's about the right to be themselves without being viewed as deviant. It's about people might take a pinprick, but the limit for how many pinpricks you really tolerate is highly sandra brown books individual - and it may be that already that first needling may be the one leaving the very tenderest scar behind. It's about that there is also a limit to how many times you can receive needlesticks without wanting to get even.
And outside the school premises, it is about us parents of teenagers probably only know our young people to a certain extent, they all have an inner sphere that not everyone has access to. A small space inside, which can hide a budding talent for something, a feeling for someone or something, a desire to do something - or a dark space to hide thoughts that have manage to respond without help.
The book actually preaches a message that we must learn to tolerate each other and to accept sandra brown books that not everyone is the same - no need to push any further down the ranking ladder for yourself able to climb higher up. It is easy to believe sandra brown books that the status and ranking is something you engage in unsafe adolescence, but of course we are all aware that it is also going on at too many workplaces, among adults?
When I read Thirteen Reasons sandra brown books Why, and even read some other writers' thoughts about the book, I noticed that some people had trouble understanding why these thirteen events resulted in the book's sandra brown books main character killed himself. There were things that not only this girl has suffered, sandra brown books but things sandra brown books certainly is offensive and unacceptable and not something you want to encounter, but that has happened before and will happen again - without anyone kill themselves. It took reasoning was that it should have been worse, that led to the suicide.
One can apply the same vein of Peter Houghton sandra brown books and the events leading up to the nineteen minutes when he walks around in his school and shooting at other school staff and pupils. To get his lunch destroyed, it is a reason to kill other people? Being called gay, it's a reason to take the life of other people? To get your pants pulled down for a whole bunch of other people, it's a reason to commit mass murder? To be chosen last, then it should be law in sport? That someone reveals one's secret feelings for someone? To constantly sit benched when the team got a game? To get some sense ideas about the whole event, I believe we must return to the book's basic questions, as I mentioned above, and also dare to question how one looks at the status, ranking and popularity. And perhaps also take a think about how dripping wears the stone ...
It is impossible not to be affected both by the book's personal gallery of the events sandra brown books as recorded - it is far too realistic story to just shrug their shoulders at. There's absolutely no guarantee that this thing with school shootings is a closed chapter in the history of the world. As long as we have young people who are doing poorly in school, are at risk of similar disasters.
Read! But when I'm looking for the book of our largest online bookstores, I find it not. Can it be sold out or I'm just bad at looking? It came in Swedish in 2008, so it's probably sandra brown books at a library near you ... I lent my the library. Update: It is far better to find if you write 19 minutes instead of Nineteen minutes ... ;-)
