Everyone is in shock, Jake,Emery and Mrs.Campbell are very nervous and don't know what to do.The kids were scared at first but they look like better now that there is no current action to cry about.After some few minutes later while everybody is in the class, Stutts looks over the door nervously so then he opens the door and saw a guard nearby that then starts approaching to the class. Finally he gets very closed by the class and Stutts just pulls the trigger and immediately closes the door even more nervous than before.Everybody is quiet but steady and scared by the sound of the gun, everybody is asking to themselves if that guard got killed. The kids are quiet and now very scared then one of the boys yells that he need to go to the bathroom and Stutts accepts it so Jake goes with the boy and while being at the bathroom were apparently no one is inside , Jake notices a kid behind the door which then gets out.Jake tells the kid to go to the principal's office to tell them what is going on, it's the only chance for people to find out that they are in danger.Jake gets back from the bathroom with the little first grader and acts normally like nothing had happened.After some minutes the classroom phone rings and Mrs.Campbell answers it and tells them what is going also telling them that Stutts won't “hurt” anybody but then Stutts shoots at the phone making it no longer able to work saying that Mrs.Campbell doesn't know what kind of man Stutts really is . He was a former soldier that went to Iraq where he killed many people even kids.Then after some minutes all of the sudden one of the kids, Mason, yells out Mrs.Campbell’s name while Jake and Emery rush to look what just happened.There she was Mrs.Campbell laying on the ground, she had fainted. Then Emery starts to try and wake her up trying to imagine how could Jake and Emery go through all of this without her. Emery fans her air with a notebook , she even threw her water but she didn't woke up when Mason said that he saw Mrs.Campbell earlier inject herself some type of medicine and so Emery looks into her arm and finds out that she is diabetic and diabetic commas are dangerous . Jake tells Stutts that Mrs.Campbell needs help and has to go to the hospital right away. Stutts thinks that all of this is some kind of joke but he lets Jake go out into the hall with her body and leave it there so that the people that are outside take her up to the hospital.Jake walked slowly in case there is anyone out there to shoot him thinking that he's Stutts so he announces that who is he and what is he doing.When he walks out he sees a hole bunch of policeman holding their weapons.Then Jake manages to see his dad the major and tells everybody what's going on while he leaves the body in safe hands. Jake then returns just in the time that Stutts gave him until he shoots another person.Stutts is now more nervous than ever knowing that they are surrounded by the authorities.He now prohibits people to go out for whatever reason.
QUOTES
“You don't know anything about me! I'm not the kind of man to kill people?Is that what you were going to say?That's not what the US Army says. They think I'm exactly that kind of man!”
As soon as I read this it made me realize not only that he is crazy and freaking scary but I cannot imagine what soldiers that go to places like Iraq must feel like after being at warfare. I think that living those kind of experiences really change you and your perspective about life and the importance of it.When I read this I also made a connection with a book that I have read recently called the giver were the protagonist jonas, experiences the feeling of warfare and it completely changes his perspective to view life and his surroundings.
Conclusion:
In this section of the book I couldn't stop reading because of its adrenaline. I'm startin to reach the climax of the book and I won't stop reading until I get there but until now it's awesome because it feels like the climax. I can't wait for what will happen next I'm feeling really nervous like Stutts.Overall I'm also liking the book a lot because there is lots of analysis that you can do and lots of connections that you can make.
