Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on The Laramie Project makes teaching easy.
Shannon is a friend and former classmate of Aaron McKinney’s. Stephen Belber runs into Shannon at the Fireside Bar with his friend Jen and interviews the two of them. Shannon indicates that both he and Aaron were frequent drug users. When asked if he, Jen, and Aaron went to high school together, Shannon calls them both “a product of their society,” suggesting that they are not the only ones to blame for the adults that they became.
