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)

Elliot is trying to say that even if you aren’t the one bullying someone you still are doing a sin. That is by letting the bullying carry on and not stopping it yourself or getting someone else to stop it. He also tries to convey the message that you should not do bully because it does not feel nice to the victim. No matter how funny it is to you it hurts others from the inside. You should think about that what if one day you are in that position where you are being bullied and how that would then feel to you. Another expression Eliot tried sending through is that being a bystander who does nothing to put an end to the bullying is also known as a bully in other words. He even tried to say that from the inside we are all humans no matter how small or tall you are. If you are fat or friendless we are all the same. In other words we should now judge others by the amount of money they have or the size they are, we should judge them by their personality and acts.

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)
I feel Russell was opposed to the idea of putting the thing he wrote on Richie punching him because Richie helped him scare of the Burke and Blachette offon page 97. He was acting all nice and helping Russell. The main reason was that Russell though that Richie was being nicer now. He also said Russel could ask him question which took place 99. I also feel that Russell was happier with Richie helping him and would not like to send the mail out and have Richie bullying him again instead of helping the way he was doing now.

2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
I feel that the relationship between Russell and Richie was improving but not too much because Richie's bullying is also a way Richie is looking out for Russell because when Richie follows Russell he is near him and can be right there when it is needed. That took place when the helped Russell deal with the Jock Rots which took place on page 97, and then when he wants him to stand up for himself which goes through the chapter 'The Dumpster'.

The Real Me

Hi! My name is Vib. I love reading but not writing. I spend my free time reading a lot of the time. I really enjoy reading the Cirque Du Freak series. My favourite color is red but I don't like the color gold. I am from India but haven't really lived there. I was more in Sweden, America and Malaysia. Curantly I live in Bangladesh. So that is me. Bye-bye
