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 telling his classmates that bullies/cool kids like Jock Rots could fall behind and be bullied, having no one to support them just like how Russell started off. So he's trying to say that bullies are not much different from the victims but have more friends. Now Elliot is saying that there's no reason to be bullied by a same kinds of people and try to fight back to stop the bully or make them fall behind. In page 92 Elliot says "That what i USED to do. This time i got pissed off. I hit back, and I also told them what I thought of them, and that REALLY upset the poor little boys." and that told me that even a nerd like Elliot could upset the Jock Rots and how he could hurt them. And he wants kids to know that bullying could stop if they fight back.

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. Russell opposed to the idea of showing all the people what Richie has done to him. The reason is because Richie sacred the other two bullies and kind of save russell from the incident. You could see them having a conversation as if there friends in page 95~99. So Russell thought that Richie would stop the bulling and be more nice to him.

2. There getting closer evertime they meet and having a smooth conversation so that would mean Richie would stop the bulling and will listen to russell if he ask a question most importantly!
