The book Hate List makes me think about justice in the world because the book is about a school shooting, that is done by a student.
This book makes me think, are school shootings something that people should have payed more attention to in that time(the book takes place in 2008). For example getting kids counseling so they can discuss their problems.Because the kid who committed the crime Nick Levil, did it because he wrote a list of people who he didn't like and people who were mean to him and then he one day came to school with a gun and shot everyone including himself, and he accidently shot his girlfriend.
" 'You've been on the list for a long time,' he said... 'What list?' Christy Bruter asked and then looked down just slightly and her eyes grew big. She started to laugh, and so did Willa, and I started to pull up onto my tiptoes to see what they were laughing at and thats when I heard the noise." (82)
In the authors note of the book it says " I love books that make me think . Maybe not come to any huge conclusions or anything, but just make me...think. I hope hate list sparks a lil thinkin' here and there."
That quote made me think, that the Author Jennifer Brown, wanted us readers to think about Justice in the world and whats fair, and what isn't, and if certain topics should be taken more seriously than others.
I loved how you gave examples and quotes from the book, also the page number. I also like how you gave the authors note and you had a lot of voice.
