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)

He is trying to make his classmates understand how it feels to be bullied by a bully. He also wants them to try not to be a bystander that starts to help the bully. Instead, Elliot wants to make the bystander know how it feels to be bullied before they join the bully or just go away. For example, on page 59, The Jock Rots dropped him off the bridge and the only people that were there to help were the Jock Rots and Russel. Burke and Blanchette ran away, but Big Chris and Russel stayed and helped Elliot. This is what made Elliot write the article on "The Revealers". He wrote the article so that nothing like this would ever happen to him again.

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)

Blog Answer:
1) Russel opposed the idea of asking questions to Richie again on page 110 because if he asks the wrong question to Richie, Richie might hit hm on the face again. Russel opposed to the idea of putting his story on the Kid Net on page 110 because he does not want to and he does not need to.

2) Russel is standing up to Richie more like on page 43-44 and then Richie treated Russel a bit better on page 98-99.
