Second Blog Response

The Revealers

In the novel, The Revealers, the students of Parkland Middle felt connected through SchoolStream or as the students called it KidNet where they were able to chat or instant message. Most of you do this nightly through MSN Messenger. With KidNet and MSN nobody could break into or eavesdrop on your conversation without it being known. Not anymore. Today’s technology allows you to assume the identity of another person. Do you really know whom you are talking to in the cyber world?

It is 10:00 pm on a Wednesday night; you have finished your homework and you are chatting on MSN with three other friends. After 10 minutes two more friends ask to join the chat. By 10:30 pm five more people have joined and it is fun; however, there is a joke said about one of the people, rapidly followed by an insult. At first, no one knows how to respond, then seconds later a message pops up stating, “I didn’t say that! It isn’t me saying these things. Someone is using my name. What is going on here?”

What is the issue involved in this scenario? Why is this serious?

What would be a responsible way to handle this situation?

How could a situation like this be resolved? How would one of the three main characters from The Revealers deal with this situation?

Response: If I were in a situation like this scenario I would carefully look for the people who are being involved in this scenario. Even though the situation seems like theres only the bully and a victim. The people who laugh or don't do anything to help the victim, such as a bystander is a participant in the incident. The issue is that the bully who is imitating the victim is using the victims account for his/her own purposes or use. It's never good to use someone else's identity and making them seem like their saying all those harsh and rude words. There is a obvious solution for this problem. This situation could be resolved by explaining to everyone, that the victim wasn't the one that did it and you should believe him. If you were the bully in the conversation you should confess to the victim it was you who had done it. The victim can choose to forgive you, or not to forgive you. If he had choose not to forgive you, you should know why. If he had chosen to forgive you, you should assure him it would never happen again. I think the three main characters would solve this by getting the whole school to know about the problem and make sure that this problem isn't fun, or cool at all.

The Revealers

The Revealers Blog Writing Topic Blog response Instructions: Answer the questions in complete sentences, proper English and use examples from the novel whenever possible. Put page number after your examples. When writing comments to your peers, be respectful in your language and about their response. It is okay to disagree, but do it in a polite manner. Blog Question: Is bullying a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence? Is it apart of the maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood? Explain. Mrs. Hogeboom brings up this topic on page 108.

When every kid grows up, they all have to go through a phase in life. One of them is going to school, making friends and meeting new people. But students getting bullied is a different story. Children have to face a bully in their life in some point of time. They could be bullying you verbally or physical. From my perspective I think that bullying is just a right of passage, because when you grow up every has to face a bully, you can't escape it. But all those who have been bullied in their life time, the memories will last forever. On page 108, Mrs. Hogeboom is explaining about kids and how they will need to face cruelty and violence, when they grow up. There has been a known fact that bullies bully because they feel that they are the more dominant than others. So to conclude this, Bullying is a way of life, it could happen to you anytime, so when your in a situation like this. You should tell a teacher so they'll take care of the problem.
