For the last couple of decades, gun violence has been a big issue in America. There have already been 22 school shootings with deaths or injuries this year. Every time one of these shootings happens students and families at the school are very affected, but more people all over the country are influenced by these shootings. Individuals fear going to school and other public locations. Do the American people need to adapt to the frequency of shootings like these? That is the case in Bullet Children where a concerned protagonist digs down into the number of school shootings in recent years and looks more into the issue because she’s writing an essay about the topic.
The text is called Bullet Children and is about an American girl, who has an upcoming essay about school shootings. The project has raised her concerns about the number of shootings and made her think about the impact they have had on her life and childhood. She is very influenced by the length of a list of school shootings in America from the last 20 years. To get closure she talks with her friend Trisha about the list, who has the same reaction. She realizes how much easier it could have been if she had chosen a different topic to write about, with some students picking topics like Disney’s influence and the American dream. She is having second thoughts about her choice of topic, but it’s too late now since the assignment is due in ten days.
