Values and choices.

1.

I witnessed physical bullying in ISKL. People were shoving each other in the corridors around the seventh grade area. I wanted to say something to try stop it but the thought of that made me think that it could happen to me. I wish I did stand up for this person but I didn’t have the courage.

2.

In the book boy and stripped pyjamas a lot of unpleasant things happen. 1 of them was violence. Not many people like the Jews so Jews had limited options. They couldn’t say anything against the Nazi’s if they did they will be executed and so will their family.

1.What’s familiar about the incident Eve describes?

This happens in lots of schools from elementary to high school. It happens in ISKL and my old school.

2.What surprised you?

It suprized me that she didn't do anything about the popular girls taking the diary. I think she didn't because she really wanted to be a part of the popular group.

3.How does Eve’s story relate to bullying? Was she bullied? Did she bully? How would you explain her behavior?( perpetrator/bystander/victim?). make sure you justify( back up your answer.

She was one of the 3 people that got bullied in all sorts of ways. But for once she got invited to see something and it was about one of the other 3 people getting bullied. She didn't do anything about even though she new what that felt like to be bullied.

4.How did Eve’s need to belong affect the way she responded when another girl was being mocked? Why does her response still trouble her? How do you like to think you would have responded to the incident?

I would probably do what she did and go a long with it because that will most likely not happen again. If that was your only chance I would go a long with it because if you did something they would tell you to go away and you just wasted that chance.

5. Eve concludes “Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last.’ What does she mean?

I think she means that she wants to be accept by other people apart from herself. She wants to be in a group with other people.
