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)


Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)
He is trying to say that something bad could happen to you. You could also be bullied, so bullying has to be stooped(92-93). He is also trying to scare the jock Rots. Elliot said in his story "Oh, and hey jock Rots.I'm not the only one who knows who you are. Sleep tight!" (93). Basically, Elliot is trying to get across that bullying is bad(91-93).

You did an ok job. You could have added much more details and descriptions. You basically needed to proof-read your work before you posted it becauses I saw some spelling and grammar mistakes too. Overall it wasn’t bad. A good thing you did was add a lot of page numbers.

You did a good post, but there are some flaws. You could have made it longer. You can make the message much clearer wioth descriptions. It was a very good and it was also very clear.
