Give a boy a gun by Todd Strasser

After finishing Give a boy a gun by Todd Strasser, I saw that the author is trying to tell us a message. I think the main message is to do unto others as the way you want to be treated. I think that this is the main message because even though Brendan and Gary treated other people well, he did not get treated well by others in his school. This led both of them into violent behaviors. In the book, Brendan talks about how his life would be perfect if people did not make fun of him or tease him. This makes them very angry and makes them want to kill the people who were making fun of him. Even though Brendan and Gary's plan did not work to kill the students at the school dance and no one was killed, the people in the school learned that they shouldn't treat others badly and make fun of people. This is what I thought the biggest lesson that I learned from the book. This book is really good and I understood the book with no problems. I recommend this book to you!
