“Give a Boy a Gun” is a interesting title. Its sounds exciting
The story is consist of exciting main characters and some parts
consist of difficult
Slang. Gary and his friends chat sometimes (“…TerminX; Ever C a dead
person? Blkchokr: In
A casket?..”,pages 86), (“…Rebooto: U guys need 2 make a smart bomb.
Dayzd:
Smart bomb 4 dumb jocks.”, pages 98).
No. 7.) Education Aspects
The novel “Give a Boy a Gun” is addres for young adults in age of 14.
It would be wise to read the book in the school. Its thematized
important topics and
perhaps their are in a reading mood. And teachers can use the book to
make a
lesson to talk about mobbing or school rampage. After that the
teacher and the class can
agitate about solving problems.
Main topic
The main topic in the book is mobbing.
Through tease a person accrues hate and desire to take revenge.
The jocks tease the outsiders all the time and nobody say anything.
Teachers look away and don’t try to help.
Kids can get wrong role model. Gary’s and Brendan’s rolde models are
the
Two pupils, who started the rampage in Littleton.
No. 8.) Additional Comments
Relationship between people
Many young adults are able to identify with Brendan and Gary.
Brendan has a worse relationship to his parents. They annoy Brendan,
but they only trying
to help Brendan. Garys relationship to his father is not available.
After the divorce his father
does not contact him.
Gary and Brendan have a real friendship. They always help each other
and it seems that the two of them only come as package. And the
relation in the Middleton High Schoole are the same like in real
life. So there are the popular football players and the outsiders.
The cool pupils and the uncool pupils.
Authors message
(… “to ending youth violence. To every young person who has ever
been killed
or wounded by a gun…” pages 5).
Parents should take care of their children, teachers sould help
pupils!
Is there violence? Is someboday sad or depressive? How can I help?
No one should look away!
No. 9.) Personal Statement/comment
In my opinion is the book “Give a Boy a Gun” one of the best novel
I’d ever read.
I liked as well the different and special characters of the story. It
was easy for me to put the names to the different figures together.
And I remembered them quickly, also in the beginning. It is easy to
read and specific written for teenager.
The book is about very important themes and as far as I can see,
speak the society to less
about such themes. The point in the book is the growing brutality and
criminality, misbehavior from the teachers, mobbing and despair from
outsiders.
Its importent to think about the motives of Gary and Brendan. Nobody
should look away,
when he see that someone is tease by an other person. Teachers should
to step in a fight.
Maybe they should take a look at the outsiders and try to help them
and pay attention.
This book made me turn pages for hours. And honestly I have to say
that I had to cry
in the because the helplessness and despair of Gary and Brendan made
me sad.
