Flex Day Response

Answer one of the above questions and add two points of observation or reflection from the day about the two places we visited (Sterling Styles factory and Up2Date apparel office). Also you can compose a question that you may have from our flex day adventures. You should post these three items on your blog page.
1) answer a question 2) make two observations or reflections (or write your own questions that you may have) Three things in total!

6. How old do you think the workers here are, on average?

I think that the workers here are 17- 30 years old on average because they looked really young in age. There are probably older women or men working there, but i think that is the main age for workers that work there. One question that i have in mind is, how much do the people get paid for the whole day? It might seem a bit personal, but I'm just curious to know because, the people do so much in one day.

Blog Question: 

What is the message he is trying to get across to his classmates?

The message that he is trying to get across to his classmates, is that people shouldn't bully other people by saying nasty things about them, sending horrible letters,(etc.), because one day it could happen to them and then they would relize that they shouldn't have done that. What Elliott is trying to say, is that everyone is responsible for Parkland School's bullying problem. For example when he says "the rest of you are all part of it- because you let it go on" (page 91- 92).  Elliott is also trying to tell his classmates how bullying can make people feel and how unfair bullying is. "So tell me what happens to you when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you". (page 92)  

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.
Russell was so opposed to the big idea because he was afraid that Richie was going to bully him more. I don't really know how to explain it, it's just that i think Russell feels scared that Richie will be more angry with him and for that, he will get bullied a lot.

2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)

The relationship between Richie and Russell, (before the idea of posting bully stories around the school) was that Richie bullying Russell all the time. But now, Richie is beginning to get a lot nicer to Russell. For example, when Russel was getting bullied by the "Jock Rots" Richie came and stood up to them for him.

3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)
