There are a few steps in the
text : let's first focus on the 1st one : the girls were brushing their
hair when they heard the phony, strange sounds, the gun shots. At the beginning
it was not frightening, but one of the girls realizes that there is a mad man,
a man who is insane outside, when she opens the door. She starts screaming,
shouting. The man is here to kill, to slaughter, to shoot everybody in the high
school.
In this extract, we have a lot of
information about Michael Patrick. He is wearing white shoes and looks shabby
because he has a rash on his chin. His shirt has a filthy appareance/looks
dirty, disgusting/gross because he is covered with blood stains. He is violent
because he said in trigonometry at one of the girls that he was going to kill
everybody because he hated them because he was the scapegoat. He is holding a
big blue-black gun and he is threatening the other girls. The author's
attention is to warn others about dangers of guns. By writing this story he is
trying to denounce the actual situation in the US.
Cross = angry
gross = disgusting
freak / insane / mad/ weirdo
