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.
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)
