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'.
