weekly
Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk- 119 pages
If Chins Could Kill, Bruce Campbell- 21 pages
140 pages this week.
Top 3:
1.) The first rule about fight club is; you do not talk about fight club.
2.) I know this, because Tyler knows this.
3.) It's only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything.
I had trouble finding three, there were so many amazing quotes. This is my favorite movie of all time and i kinda wish i wouldve read the book first. The number one quote is by far the best line in the book, it says it all. even though that is the first rule...somehow the fight club grows and grows, it gets out of control even. This is the beginning of project mayhem, and the summary of Tyler Durden's life. Even the narrator doesnt know whats in his future.

Weekly Assignment
Book: Columbine, Dave Cullen
Pages: 162 this week. 347 this semester.
Sentences;
1. "It is a weird feeling knowing you're going to be dead in two and a half weeks"
2. "Hey Mr. D, nice shoes!"
3. "Good wombs have borne bad sons"
These are all quotes from Columbine, the first and third being from Eric Harris, the main shooter. The first one wins top sentence because it is the most emotion that Eric shows throughout the process. Its like, he doesnt even care anymore. And the second is a lighter sentence that shows that the kids do finally recover and that they can still finish out high school and have fun and be happy. The third is the only real glimpse of remorse that the boys encounter, feeling bad about the situation that they are putting their parents in.

Columbine, week 2
The book is just now revealing the notes and the motives of the killers. It makes you feel like a detective who's just about to crack the case. I love the mystery it leaves hidden, and the adrenaline rush you get reading about the stories of survivors. This book is so intense.
Columbine, week 2
The farther i get into Columbine, the more disturbing it gets. Its really hard to believe the thoughts that these kids had towards people. They were monsters, thats the only way to describe it. They had no remorse for the kids they killed. They wanted to kill the world and start a world war and stuff like that. Its really scary that there are people like this in the world. Especially all the copycats that were planning on repeating "Columbine" the following year. I dont know what would make these kids go to these extremes. I guess the only way to put it is to say that I'm appalled.
