Elliots expose blog

Elliot’s Expose
Blog response instructions:

• 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.

When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.

"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)

END-OF-BOOK REFLECTION QUESTIONS
The Revealers


Begin brainstorming the answers with members of your group!

Ans- The message that Elliot is trying to get across to his classmates is that bullying is very serious and that his classmates should not take it so lightly. He is trying to say that it might just happen to you one day so watch out...also he is trying to say that they should stand up to the bullies. hes saying just because your different doesnt mean that you deserve to get bullied.

I totally agree with what you said on your post on Elliots expose because i find that your idea was clear and i like your idea of him trying to warn the other bystanders and for them to stand up. But maybe you should think about putting some page numbers in to support your idea. But in total i think you did a great job
