The Tragedy of Columbine was caused by the social injustices inflicted upon two students; Alex Frost and Eric Deulen. This is the message Gus Van Sant portrays in his movie `Elephant.' These two characters are not part of the `in crowd' and are picked upon in school to the point that they come to school with guns.

work together. The main changing relationships are between Gerry and Julius, Coach Boone and Coach Yoast and Gerry and Ray. I think these relationships are mainly developing because they are learning about each other and bonding as teammates.

Gerry confronts Julius about his work ethic, Gerry learns that he been fulfilling
