Elliot's Expose

Blog response instructions:
• Answer the questions in complete sentences and use proper English (restrain from using MSN chat style of writing).
• Use evidence from the novel to support your answer and include page numbers.
• When commenting to your peers, be respectful in your language and about their responses. It is okay to disagree, but do it in a polite manner.

When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.

"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)


Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)

Two Peer Responses (4 pts)

Ans-I think it means that people who get bullied only know how it feels. The people who dont get bullied are just stand buyers. They think its funny. They think bullying is happening to them because the victims are from some poor family or geeks. He is also trying to say that when you see someone bullied just dont stand there but do something. He is also trying to say that bullying is not good because it really hurts and what if the same thing happens to you what will you do. It will hurts the same way. So stop bullying people.

Blog-role reversal

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, the Revealers, and the stories of the three Darkland students were released and well received by the student body, Elliot wanted to publish Russell’s narrative about Richie punching Russell in the face.

1) Why was Russell so opposed to the idea (pg. 110)? Explain. (4 pts)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

Ans1-Russel was so opposed to the idea because he thought that reveling what Richie did to Russel was no use cause he thought Richie was being nice to him and Richie helped Russel when Burke and Blanchette were starting to bully Russel.(pg-110)
Ans2- The relationship between Richie and Russel is growing to be very friendly relationship because now Richie is helping Russel whenever there is any kind of bullying done to Russel.(pg-96 and pg-97)
