Blog: Role Reversal

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 didn't want to post his story about Richie punching him, because Richie had been acting differently, nicer. Russell probably thought they were more of friends now; he was allowed to ask questions, as he said on page 99; and publishing the story might ruin it all(he's probably a bit scared to get hurt, too). Also, I don't think he wanted everyone to know about his problems with Richie, since even if he sent it in anonymous, people could guess who he is.

2. Between Russell and Richie, it's going better now. Richie isn't bullying him badly now or anything, and Russell is allowed to ask him things. He also sort of stood up for Russell when Burke and Blanchette were threatening him (as on page 97), and Richie has gained a bit of respect for Russell, because he dared to talk back. They're becoming more of friends, and I think Richie would, say, protect Russell, because he's Richie's victim, and he wants Russell to learn to stand up for himself.
