The threat of school shootings is something that is all too prevalent in children's lives. It's something that I've grown up with (even the first major news broadcast I can remember is Sandy Hook). As students we feel helpless, most of us aren't old enough to vote so most of us can't do anything about it. In this piece I've represented students as sparrows, which are very delicate creatures, and put them in a tragically metaphorical scenario in which they are trapped. As students we do feel trapped, as students we are quite literally targets.
