Marilyn Manson ’s article on Columbine is in defense of himself concerning the blame from the media for the shootings in Littleton‚ Colorado. The points he brought up in his defense impressed me. I never really expected him to have that kind of outlook on things. There were a few controversial points that I was shocked to have seen brought up‚ like religion. He is the self proclaimed Antichrist and bringing religion into such a heated subject to begin with was very gutsy. Overall I think that his

As I do every Sunday morning‚ I awake to read the Tonys - Tony Becca and Tony Cozier - before I prepare for church and the upcoming week. Each Sunday‚ my four-year-old daughter’s hair needs to be washed‚ she needs to get a bath‚ her clothes pressed‚ and her breakfast prepared before she’s off to Sunday School.

The daughter dies however‚ in an explosion that took place at the church. Despite
