I have showed my respect for him and because of it I Have higher class status. I have a good education, I don't need to work as much, and get to be a part in Activities, like being elected for the Red guard Committee on pg.166. Being elected showed my Honor for our chairman, I even led the morning Benediction on pg. 166 as well. Without him I wouldn't have been at school and working more probably, I still work like when I left school early on pg.172 to make dinner but I think we some work to do, if we didn't we would be bourgeoisie.

She wonders why I don't stay with him, so I try to teach her that our chair man is first instead of family. Later after that emotional time I find out on pg. 232 that she wanted to go to the factories for the summer instead of the rice fields becuase she wants t be with family. After telling about my brother she still doesn't listen. I have to cry to convince her so that she goes and learns a lesson. She proably wouldn't have gone if I hadn't cried or persuaded her.

Garment Factory Questions

5. What do you think the level of safety is here? What makes you think this?

I think the level of safety is very high. The factory was clean. They told people to wear masks so they wouldn't breath in dust, they had people fixing machines, and they fire extinguishers. They practiced how to evacuate. Over all it was pretty safe and i felt comfortable.

Elliot’s Expose

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.

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)

I think what elliot is trying to say is that we all need to work together to make bulling stop. He gives examples and tells that we are all part of it. We all are either a bully, victim, or bystander. most of us are bystanders. We usauly let this go on and do nothing. Elliot wants us to work together and aware people what is going on.

I agree with what Elliot is trying to say to people, I agree that he is not just saying bullies and victims are not sterotypes but they are every day people who are not respected, becuase people just treat them as not normal people, so then they feel not normal and people let them go on teasing them, but we all are or we are all unique.

i agree that he is trying to get people to to write what is happening to them (pg.91 to 92), to make them feel better, to help them have courage. I also think he is doin this becuase when Catalina wrote her story people started repsecting her and understood. He is trying to get people to understand and respect what is going on.

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)

I think Russell wasn't exactly scared but he didn't want to be slugged in the face, but I think he wanted to keep things as they were and not bother Richie, because Richie stood up to the Jock Rots for him, so he was being nice to Russell. Some evidence for my answer is that on pg. 110 in the second paragraph is Russell telling Elliot what happened to him when the Jock Rots were gaining up on him and Richie standing up for him. He explains what happens and his feelings.
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)

Russell and Richie's relationship is different because on pg. 44 to 45 Richie punches Russell ( because Russell was asking him questions why he was mean to people) but then helps him get of the street and brings his back pack. After that Russell hasn't seen Richie in a while, until the Jock Rots gain on him. Richie stands up for him but then afterwards goes away. I think they aren't friends but Richie is feeling bad for what he did because he knows what being hit is like. So they are just people that awknoledge each other.
