In the Sandy Hook video “Evan” by sandthookpromise.org, a boy named Evan was randomly writing on a table one day. He wrote “I AM BORED”. The next day he went and sat in the exact same seat and saw that someone had replied saying, “Hi Bored, nice to meet you”. As the school year went by they had conversations by writing on the table back and forth. As Evan was talking to this person and trying to find out who it was, in the background of the video you see a kid that keeps looking at guns and possibly planning a shooting. On the last day of school as everyone was signing year books Evan and the person finally met, as they were talking, the gym doors opened and a guy with a coat and a duffel bag walks in, drops the bag and all you hear is the sound of his gun cocking back and firing. We should be aware that gun violence is real, some people are just fixated on violence along with negative things in the world. Of course we never think it’s going to happen, but we should have the knowledge and awareness that it’s a possibility.  Humans can be oblivious, careless and distracted, there are a million things going on around us everyday yet we don’t even notice a third of them, we need to learn to look at the bigger picture instead of always paying attention to every small detail. This video shows that when we’re so caught up in trivial things, they’re so many different things going on around us, we can be the ones to witness something amazing, we can be the ones to prevent something bad from happening, if we notice the things around us we can be the change.
