The Revealers: Blog Topic: 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)

Blog Questions Answer
1)Since Richie helped him when Burk and Blanchette threatened to fight him so Richie jumped in and scared them. So Russel now thinks that Richie might not be that bad after all. He thinks Richie respects him so there is no need to expose him.

2)I think they are slowly becoming friends since Richie stops bullying him and even stood up for him on pg 97-99.I think friends stand up for each other so since rRichie stood up for him he is his friend.

I think that is a very clear and well done blog post but I have some things that you could do to make it better. First in the 1st question you could add an example of something out of the book and its good because you showed that he was thinking that he and Richie may be friends because he protected him from Burke and Blanchette. And in the 2nd question you could add a little more detail and in the last sentance you said rRichie you could take away the small 'r'. But I thought it was a good blog.

I think that your answers did answer the question but they did not hold evidence from the book. Your answers would also be stronger if you used support from the book. That was for question 1. For question 2 there are a few errors but all in all you get the message across.
