"From the outset, before they even had names or identities for the gun-men, Tv reporters depicted the boys as a single entity. "Were they loner?" reporters kept asking witnesses. "Were they outcasts?" Always they."
"Yeah, outcast, i heard they were."
I choose this lines to be my Golden Lines because I am really upset with how people judging Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold without knowing much. The mass killers were often described as loner, as outcasts . But were they really as people described? They were not! They had a group of close friends. They hang out with friends week after week. Eric was attractive, always enclosure girls; he was a ladies' man. He had lots of chicks. Both Eric and Dylan had prom dates the weekend before the attack. Each of them was quite a brain. They broke the rules, cut class, tagged themselves "Rebel" or after a favorite liquor, but they did homework and earn a slew of A's.
Me myself, I don't think Eric and Dylan were outcasts, too. By wearing black things doesn't mean they are outcasts. I think they just wanted to do something new and different, they just wanted to have a new feeling and be themselves. So that they can express them with confidence. They have good friends, "Their friends respected one another and ridiculed the conformity of the vanilla wafers looking down on them." pg.147
