Shooter Chapter 3

Cameron is still having his analysis with Victoria and she seems to catch on the his mixed signals he views himself as someone who doesnt follow the crowd just does his own thing. He doesnt follow his religon, he is a very skilled basketball player but disregards his talent as just ok and didnt even want to make the team (where he was originally cut but his father got him back on it) or even doesnt show ethnic feelin when at the gun range there was a target of Martin Luther King that was shot at by the other members and he seemed so indiffrent. Victoria thinks that maybe he deliberately moves away from a group kind of like an identity crisis

Shooter Chapter 2-3

While Still being interviewed Cameron goes through in vivid detail of what Len was like with his obession with different types of guns or weapons and how Len's father owned many of them, Victoria then asked him. "Did it give you a sense of power?" but cameron didnt think so he just like going to the gun range. Victoria then mentions to him that if he were to be bullied like Len was by a bigger tougher guy that he could always get an "equalizer". but for cameron he didnt see it that way. I think Cameron is a smart, bright kid but seems to be somewhat naive at points or very nonchalant about certian topics, but at times seems to crack just a bit when talking about his parents.
