Lit. Circle Discussion

One interesting thread of discussion in our Lit.

Names Will Never Hurt Me

Parents. Grandparents. Aunts. Uncles. Brothers. Sisters. Cousins. Friends. Everyone is effected after a school shooting. Whether its losing a loved one or being afraid of another one happening, it must be hard getting over a school shooting. In Names Will Never Hurt Me, it is the one year anniversary of a school shooting and some people have gotten over it and just said its just a one time occurance and will probably never happen again. There are a few people that have memories coming back like a boomerang and are scared that something might happen, like the principal and a few other students who were effected severely by the event.
