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)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

1) Russell didn't want Elliot to publish his story about Richie because, when Burke and Blanchette started threatening him at the park (pg. 96-98) Richie Tucker came out and stood up for him and scared Burke and Blanchette away. If he did send it on the revealer than all of the students would know and I don't think that Russell wanted that to happen because then all the respect that he earned from Richie might disapear. Richie told Russell that it was okay to ask him questions if he wanted to. He also said if you stand up to people you can earn respect.

2) The relashonship between Russell and Richie is changing a lot. Now Richie has a little respect for Russel and doesn't treat him as bad. He stood up for him too. He also told him how everything works with him, (Richie talking) "You disrespect me, you pay. You piss me off, you get hurt. Okay?"(pg. 98).
