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)
Russel is so opposed to the idea because on page 97 Richie protects Russel when Blanchette and Burke start threatening him. This makes him think that Richie isn't that bad after all and that he doesn't want to get on his bad side again. He also probably is scared that Richie might start bullying him again. 
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
Richie is starting to be friendlier to Russel because he feels bad about what he did. We know he feels bad because on page 44 he layed Russel on the grass out of the middle of the road after punching him. Russel is still careful about what he says and does when Richie is a round but he isn't scared of him anymore

3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

Hii Mel
I like the way that you gave the page number for evidence on the first and second question. I think that The font was a bit hard to read cause it was quite dark for the readers to see.
other than that great job :D

Hey Melanie,
Good job on using evidence from the story to support your answer! You made your point clear and I understood your way of thinking. I liked the way you included page numbers in your answer. Well done!

I think you have a vey well done blog page and it looks very business like and neat. Your different colors are very appealing to look at and makes it nice to read. Your response was good and your 2nd answer I liked the best especially the bit where you said 'Russel is still careful about what he says and does when Richie is a round but he isn't scared of him anymore.'
