Think about a time you witnessed bullying/ostracism/peer pressure/exclusion/discrimination/violence. How did you respond? How do you wish you had responded? What stopped you from responding that way?
A time where I have seen exclusion? Well I have seen a lot of exclusion but none were serious (like playing around) except one. This one was not very serious but it was not very nice, at all. In this experience there were two boys trying to be partners with another and one thing led to another they got angry at each other and then one kid was left out, then he was not really friends with the other kid so it all ended up with one kid who was left out of everything. I wish I had stepped in and said that maybe "you can be partners with him today and you can be partners tomorrow, instead I left them and now they are not friends anymore. Something that stopped me from responding that way was the fact that I myself did not want to be excluded, as Eve S. said in her video it is often more satisfying to be included by more people than just one, I guess that is how I felt.
Where have we seen examples of bullying/ostracism/exclusion occurring in texts studied so far this year- factual as well as fictional?
In the book Shadow Of The Minotaur, we tend to see Phoenix (the main character) being bullied by Steve Adams, this is very bad bullying of course and so is all others.
Select one line/phrase/group of sentences that are significant to you. Explain why.
The line I have chosen is "often being accepted by other is far more satisfying than accepted by one self"
The reason this is significant to me is because it is true no one can deny that they would rather be accepted by one more than more people, because I sure know I would. Some may think differently but I don't. I also think it all depends on the loyalty of
How is ostracism different from other forms of bullying? When does ostracizing or excluding someone from a group become part of bullying?
I think that it becomes a part of bullying because if you do not hang out with someone then they may think that there is something wrong with them so they will go home and cry
What’s familiar about the incident Eve describes?
The familiar think about this incident is the fact of people being picked on due to the fact that they have a Diary or something like that, it has most likely been a big problem throughout all of the world.
What surprised you?
It surprised me about the fact that they all grew up together and they were all brought up to not disrespect someone due to their race, and then there was still bullying.
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.
Eve was bullied as she said but she also bullied herself due to the fact of herself wanted to be accepted
