A hard thing that's happening in the book Hate List by: Jennifer Brown, Is that the story revolves around a school shooting done by a student.
Another thing that's happening in the book is crime. Which is a real topic that is brought into our everyday lives, because people commit crimes all the time, just like the main character of the book Nick Levil committed a particulary bad crime.Which was killing his classmates over silly reasons, and then taking his own life.
Another problem in the book is verbal abuse. Valerie, Nick Levil's ex-girlfriend.Is verbally abuesed by her father on pages 319-323, when he comes to pick her up from a party because she was drunk. He yells at her on the side of the road and uses profanity. It got so bad that an eye witness, driving on the road offered to call for help for Valerie, because the situation had gotten really bad.
This book makes me think about things that are happening in the world because of the school shooting that takes place in the book, It reminds of the incident in Sandy Hook Elementary School. Because so many innocent lives were taken away, because of a crazy person who had their own problems and wanted to not only end their life, but take other people out with them.
I see similarities in both incidents, because they were both done by young people, and they both took place in schools and they also both ended up committing suicide. I think that, the people who killed all those innocent people are filled with hatred, and it's just a bad choice to choose. Someone's young life, shouldn't be taken away, espicially if they are innocent.
