When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the Kid Net, 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 (Bystander). 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. Like on page 91-92 Elliot sends the message to everyone after the bullying incident with the Jock Rots in The Revealers and it says you shouldn't let the bullying incidents happen. You should do something to stop people from bullying people and I think that he wants to do something that can change the victims life in Darkland Middle School. THIS IS THE MESSAGE HE WANTS TO TELL EVERYONE. STOP BULLYING!!!!!!!!!

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, The Revealers, and the stories of the three Dark land 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)

Ans 1) Russel was so opposed to the big idea because Russel did not want him to get beaten up again like he did on pg.44 and the part when he poured root bear on him. When Burke and Blachette where putting things in Elliot's bag and when they threw him over the bridge those incidents which happened with Elliot affected his response to Richie to but even though Richie was acting like a bully he also helped Russel and he was not like Blachette or Burke.

2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
Ans 2) The relationship between Russel and Richie was getting bad but interesting because as we go on with the story we got to know why he was angry at Russel. On pg. 15 he was starting to show him that he is targeting him for this year after-school and this went on up till the punch on pg. 44. After some time in the book the relationship got better. The relationship turned into some kind of helping but Richie still did not stop bullying Russel. I think sooner or later in the book Richie and Russel will be friends because there relationship is getting better.

3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)
