In this section of the reading the author decides to tell the story from a different perspective. Instead of telling the story through interrogation the author now starts to use newspaper articles to tell the story. Most of the articles uses refer to the three main characters, Cameron, Carla, and Len. The newspaper articles all refer to the shooting as an act of violence that should have been noticed by the school. The newspaper articles in the story now reveal what happened on the day of the shooting. The newspaper articles state that Cameron and Len were part of a Cult that initially ordered them into the shooting.
This portion of the book's form of writing is rather unusual. By using a newspaper perspective there are no biases like that of Carla and Cameron interviews. From an unbiased perspective the articles tell the story straightforward unlike that of the stories Carla and Cameron tell. The articles say that the shooting consisted of three people but in Carla's interview she said she hadn’t known of the plans to have a shooting at the school. Carla's interview revealed that she wasn’t really apart of the shooting but through the newspapers articles they stated that she was an accomplice.
From this portion of the reading it causes me to wonder what the real story of the shooting is. Why do the articles say that they were apart of a cult? In the next section of the reading I go into Len's Diary which I hope reveal the true secrets of the shooting.
