The humour in the book is like hot chips with its sauce, it fits together magnificently. Primarily, the humour used over the course of the novel interests and captivates many of his readers. Although many don't recognise the hidden theme of bullying, a minority of people will realise and reflect upon it. The book needs its humour to relate to the given audience, the hidden theme of bullying is an addition that helps the readers understand the significant issue of

In “Phoebe Prince: Should School Bullying Be a Crime?”, an article written by journalist Jessica Bennet addresses school bullying, the outcomes and the consequences that bullies deserve or not. Above all, this article aims the spotlight on bullying, a 15-year-old who took her own life due to harassment, torment, rumors, physical threats all leading it to being bullied by well-known good students. In any case, the process of being bullied has never been taken into consideration nor importance in the school system or by society in general. “It’s even gotten better over the past decade says Dan Olweus, a leading bullying expert”. However, bullying just does not disappear, it is still an issue that humankind does not have any diligence to the cause

I recently read the book Wonder and it is a well written book that keeps the reader entertained as well as informed about bullying. It teaches children the importance of accepting others and stopping any harassment they see while in or outside of school. It also shows that if a child should see an incident with bullies, they should stand up for the victim or tell an adult if the situation gets serious. This novel is about a young boy with a facial deformity that is attending public school for the first time. He encounters many problems with bullying, but he finds friends that help him get through the rough times. The characters consist of the bully Julian, the protagonist August, and August's friends Summer and Jack. In the book, Julien is

Bullying uses someone putting others down in order to emotional better themselves because they feel better about themselves causing pain and distress to someone else. This can be traced back to the novel as Andy feels better about his unfortunate predicament the more he hurts others. This hurting people to heal yourself is what the main theme of this novel stems from in a philosophical viewpoint. The many brushes with philosophy in the novel harmonize with the underlying theme of deception and using others to heal oneself. Conclusively, the main villain and theme within the novel weave together with the many philosophical points and issues with morality in order to create a concise and alluring

“Scotty Richey … killed himself on his sixteenth birthday … nobody could understand about Scotty … But the way I see it is, he just didn’t have anybody. … It was like we were all the animals on Noah’s ark that came in pairs, except of his kind there was only one” (Kingsolver 132-4). In Barbara Kingsolver’s novel The Bean Trees, Taylor mentions to Estevan her classmate Scotty Richey’s suicide. She explains that although her school had a very distinct social hierarchy, people within a class had each other for company. Scotty, however, had nobody. As a result of the extreme isolation he faced, he committed suicide. Today, bullying is a developing issue in the world and exclusion, which Scotty faced, is just one of many forms of bullying. What Scotty experienced in the novel occurs in schools around the world, and the consequences are unimaginable and horrific. In light of the increasingly advanced technology developed in recent years, cyberbullying has become a more common form of bullying among students. Cyberbullying, or bullying that occurs through the internet or media, happens due to the courage that bullies acquire by not having to physically face their victims. The harassment the victims experience lead to mental as well as physical health issues, which often times leads to suicide. In order to prevent such grave repercussions, education systems and parents must teach kids how to behave properly on the

This book is about Kurt trying to find his sister and Stacey trying to cope with everyone talking behind her back and everyone talking about her pregnancy. Carol shows that anyone can handle getting bullied but there is a limit, people shouldn’t get bullied because a lot of kids are committing suicide because of it, and that when kids are getting bullied they can handle it but then when it comes to a point they can’t handle it they don’t think life is worth living for, Carols shows this in Stacey because She was getting bullied everyday by almost all the kids and she went through it all the time but then when it comes to a certain point she couldn’t bare the fact that she had to go through it every day. People who get bullied always wants revenge to the bully and in the book The Night My Sister Went Missing Mark Stern was trying to get revenge because Stacey cheated on Mark a lot because she was always out with people every night they were dating. I think that the author was trying to send a message because Carol Plum-Ucci has created this book for teens and wanted to send a message by showing that bullying can lead to very serious matters like suicide and she shows that by making Stacey the victim of bullying and showing that Stacey couldn’t live with her self any more so she decided to commit

Many important events in the book would not happen in real life. From my prior knowledge, I know the author is from Canada. Inferring that the events take place in Canada, I believe that many events that happened in the book would not have happened at a normal Canadian high school. For example, the Cage, a place where people get beat up and bullied, surprisingly exists. In a normal Canadian high school, places like this would have been discovered long ago. The Cage is also known by most people in the school yet no one reports the incidents and events that happen there. In Canada and most developed countries, students learn about bullying and what to do when they see someone being bullied at a young age. In the book, not only does the victim not do anything about their situation, there are also many bystanders who just watch and refuse to do anything about the situation of things. In reality, events similar to these would have been known to the staff at the school a long time ago, and bullies and people who take part in activities around the Cage would have received punishments for their

Every teen will fear isolation in some portion of their lives and bullying is one theme that can lead to isolation.

Cyber bullying and face-to-face bullying are to major concerns in today’s society, the movie Mean Girls and the novel Destroying Avalon have themes about bullying in them. The texts show us how more people can be affected by certain types of bullying as well as how it can change behaviour and how bullying can build up to physical violence.

When in the course of human events, it becomes imperative to shake off the bands of repeated name-callings and falsely given identities which have been connected for so long, and to assume that the playing field is once again even, giving your undivided attention and respect to the opinions of the unheard and abandoned as they state why they have decided to stand up against the bullying and how they plan to write how to isolate themselves from bullying altogether.

This book is very important to people who struggles with bullying or those who bullies other, and those who are just

In John Cloud’s essay “The Myths of Bullying” he talks about the reaction that schools and states have to bullying. Cloud expresses his concerns for bullying and also explains the steps that people are taking to help prevent it. He explains that most of the systems used now are not effective and are making school’s waste money. He then provides his own opinion on how bullying should be approached in school systems. Cloud’s essay not only tries to persuade the reader to his cause but he uses literary elements such as bathos and logos to appeal to and draw in the reader.
