Setting

The setting is the auditorium. " somethings wrong..the doors are locked." (Nijkamp pg. 29), this is the starting point. The doors were locked and they soon got stuck in the worst room that was screaming death. Tomas was in the office knowing nothing of what would soon happen to his little sister. The shots send echos of scream around the haunted halls. It soon turns into people running trying to escape with the suspense of not knowing what would happen tho them, only knowing they needed to have courage in order to get through this.

Symbolizing

This book symbolizes one thing. Life doesn't go the way you plan. "this isnt the Tyler i knew" (Nijkamp pg. 126), they didnt expect Tyler to shoot up the school, yet he did. Soon after, it goes to everyone escaping. Kids start running out of the school doors, while everyone anticipates if their kid is alive or not. The settings end to where the shooter kills himself, this sets up a very suprised tone, but it does show you that you choose how to live your life.

Structure

The bbook is told in four point of views within 54 minutes. Every new chapter is a new 4 point of views within a few minutes of being stuck with a school shooter who is killing alot of people. This shows howlong it feels for them in a life and death situation, while all point of views have some connection to the shooter. This adds a serious tone and a suspensing mood to the book. These elements make the book more emotional to the reader, which helps you also feel the courage they are forced to have.
