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 doesn't want to get pounded by Richie so he gets afraid. He also doesn't like the idea of publishing stories to the whole school at first but then he starts to go with it. He also doesn't want people to know his story and he wants to solve it himself. Russell doesn't want to publish his story because he thinks he can handle the problem also he says that Richie was acting different and not bullying him anymore. (pg.110)

2. Richie starts to not bully Russell anymore because he thinks that he is going to publish his story. They are also getting along I mean Richie does not bully Russell any more and Russell is now always roaming around with Elliot and Catalina. Richie doesn't threaten him, hit him, or hurt him anymore. The relationship between Russell and Richie is very bad at first because on page 15 Richie pours down root beer on Russell's head. Then on page 44 Richie smacks Russell on the face. Soon they don't see each other that much. Richie doesn't bully Russell anymore since the revealers were sending peoples bully stories.

I think that you're answers were very well written and I think you should mention Burke and Blanchette. Nice work.

Good job Shashank. You explained well and you were sure to add the page numbers. Also you think that you should include the page number in the answer not at the end.
