I think the significance of the title has a lot of meaning and it says a lot about the book. The novel is about a school shooting who a boyfriend and girlfriend discuss who they do not like in school and the boyfriend carries on the with the list more than it should have and ends up killing people. I would think the hate list is the people they do not get along with and hate and think the worse on. When I think about the hate list, I think about the movie, Mean Girls. In this movie there are four girls that have a "burn book" and they cut out and paste the pictures of people they don't like or just make fun of and they right mean things about the person. The book ends up getting out to people in school, but of course no killing was involved. Titles have a definite significance to a story. It ends up saying the title somewhere through out the book and when it comes into play you can tell there is a meaning to the book. I think Hate List is a good title for the book. It is gripping from just hearing the title and it is just sounds hateful and makes a person curious about reading it.
Excellent comparison to Mean Girls, Morgan. Reading is about making connections. I think that's a solid one.
