In the book Hate List, I’m going to be talking about Valerie and how she has changed so far in the book. In the beginning she is just sitting at home recovering from her injury, and she doesn’t go to any of the celebrations that the school is giving her for saving their school and for stopping the shooting. As school starts to draw near she starts to thinking about not going back to school. I respect that she had the courage to go back to the same school that think she is the enemy, but to here she doesn’t know what to think. In the middle of the book she starts to change and realized that by her going back to school she is showing everyone that she is not ashamed to go back and get a education, and that even though she may have played a part in the shooting she is not letting it stop her from living her life the way she wants it to be, and by also living her life she wanted it to be before the shooting. She has changed a lot because she gain the courage back and she stop letting the things that was so little to her before the shooting become a big thing to her in her life. She also learned that she had to change the way she thought about life because Nick is not around anymore to help her thru her problems but if she ask for help she can have her problems solved just like Nick helped her fix the problems before.
I respected her decision to return to school, but I don't know that I would have had the strength to do the same. What did you think about the way that the author presented the shooting first thing in the novel?
