Blog: Role Reversal

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.

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)
Russell is so opposed to the idea because he thinks that since Richie helped him on page 97 with Burke and Blanchette, if he sent his story in the Revealer he would get really angry and would keep on bullying him instead of helping him.

2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
Richie does not bully Russell as much and talks to him. He even said Russell could ask him questions, that he did not mind. He feels bad about what he did to Russell and realizes that this 7th grader can stand up to bullies and is not so stupid after all.

3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

hey Lena.:-)
I think you answered well the questions and I agree with you that it wouldn't help Russell if he published his story in the Revealers. I thik your right, Richie might have figured that Russell can stand up to him.
Good Blog!

Your right i agree with your answers
If Russell did right the story Richie would hurt him more and I think that Russell would be scared of that.

Hi Lena =)
I strongly agree with your answers. Maybe you could include page numbers and evidence from the story to support your answer to the second question. Other than that, good job!!! Keep up the good work!

I really like your blog post. It is very clear and thoughtful. My one thing you could improve on is giving an example of something in the book and a page number!! =)
