8.A summary of the book(around 200 words Words Count:_190___words)
A dozen stories by well-respected various authors (including Chris Lynch, Walter Dean Myers, Richard Peck, and Rita Williams-Garcia) about the impact of guns on teenagers' lives. Some stories are funny, others are dead serious and disturbing. Guns are an undeniable part of contemporary life in the USA. Stories about their use--and misuse--spice the nightly news, the papers, and our favorite TV shows. Guns shape the course of history. They make us wild with excitement or red with anger, sick to our stomachs or convinced that we are safe. Guns provoke extreme emotions in all of us.
In this riveting collection of short fiction, twelve authors explore the emotion-driven world of guns. Dealing with everything from a city kid's desperation to a country boy's first glimpse of manhood, from a girl's struggle against helplessness to a teenage trio's horrifying battle of wills, these original stories are as varied and exceptional as the authors themselves. Sometimes shocking, occasionally funny, and often intensely sad, these stories are all thought-provoking and addictively readable. A superb anthology, passionate and hard-hitting, "Twelve Shots" helps us understand our world and solidify our own beliefs.
