My favorite character in this novel was Willa. Although her part of the book is more focused on her son, Seth, I found her a very compassionate, compelling character. The love story between her and Robert, childhood sweethearts, is beautiful. She is a strong member of the Deaf community, and advocate for a fair and ASL-based education of Deaf children. Seth describes her as an attentive and patient mother throughout her whole life, and she also

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

The book is basically about how you can help someone in a time of need by just being there for them. Jill writes about what learned when she was helping her friend and how all it takes is just a few people to help someone. Kara writes about how much she appreciated just the little things people did for her.

The practice if cyberbullying is often demonstrated throughout the book 1984 and in society today. Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to torment a person. In 1984, technology like the telescreens, became so advanced that cyberbullying became an issue. Almost everything done by the government was because of issues they saw on the telescreens. The phrase “ Big brother is watching you” is used to scare the citizens of Oceania to not do anything against the party and anything they do is caught by the telescreens. It also contrasts with Orwell’s society because the cameras they use turn into implements of abuse. Winston can’t do anything about it because if he does the party will arrest him. In addition, the society they live in

not so aware of what happens when the teachers or an adult is not around. In the staff survey, when asked, Economics and Civics teacher, Mrs. Larsen, the question, “If you ever saw cyber harassment or cyber bullying taking place here at our school would you intervene?” she responded with, “ Yes! Always, again cyberbullying/harassment is hard to see/ know about.” Staffs from Madera High are not always aware of what students do before or after class, also students most of the time are too scared to tell a staff of what is occurring.

What makes this book stand out from the rest is the cast of characters. Many people in the world have probably experienced bullying to some extent, but it is about what the bullies don’t see. One might think that they are just playing a harmless prank on someone less physically capable than themselves. However, actions all have consequences, some a lot worse than others. True friends see past the others bad qualities and appreciate the good ones.

My favorite story is the story of Eleven by Sandra Cisneros. The reason that it is my favorite because It was the first story that I heard as a child. But this story has much greater meaning for me. It was my junior year in high school, My reading teacher's name was Mrs. Morning. She assigned us the task to pick a story and she told us it was due by the end of the year. We would be telling the story in front of the class. That we should be able by year end to do this easily. I was not looking forward to it. And I must have rolled my eyes or something, I think she noticed because she asked me what my favorite story was. I told her Eleven. She continued to tell me that I would be able to tell the story. Being a teenager I just shrugged her off and pretty much labeled the class easy A but to my surprise as we got closer to end of the year.

People could relate to this book who get bullied and people who try to do the right thing but bully get in there way. For example, Grendel was a bully and keep attacking Hall Herot. This

Schools today are constantly updating their code of conduct due to cases involving cyberbullying. The average teenager has a social media account and can easily access the account at any given time. Many teenagers rely on social media for various reasons which then increases the potential for cyber bullying to occur. Cyberbullying can be seen on such media like, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. Cases of cyberbullying between teenagers have created a great dilemma upon parents and school districts. Since online bullying is not done face to face, the bully feels more daring and aggression towards the victim. Most of these cases have ended in tragedy and were not taken care of correctly by administration at schools. Bullying and harassment

Cyberbullying affects middle schoolers and middle school faculty which forces them to address the issue although some believe they should not. Counselors are sometimes confused on how to help the person who is being cyberbullied and the bully because it does not happen during school hours and it could violates the student's rights. Teachers have also said that they can not tell when it is happening and do not plan to baby sit it. This is understandable because teachers are there to teach. Some do not feel it is necessary to spend more time watching the students than to teach them. Counselors now are taking the time to have group discussions with students to talk about various ways of bullying. Counselors main goal should be pointing out the importance of treating everyone equally and

I like this book very much because I really like how the whole entire book revolves around bullying and how it has this main message in the book that is telling everyone that is reading it that you’re not alone and that there is always someone that can help you that is always by your side. In the book I have learned

Justin Patchin has shown plenty of ways to prevent cyberbullying in our schools. “Although no formal evaluations of cyberbullying prevention programs and strategies have yet to occur, there are promising approaches and specific steps educators can take to minimize the amount and seriousness of cyberbullying incidents (Hinduja &Patchin, 2012a). Many teachers have tried to educate children on internet use. We need to inform our children that all types of bullying is wrong, and if children that engage in it needs to be discipline. Cyberbullying should be discussed in classes that use technology. Posters and signs should be posted on top of computes about cyberbullying ( Hinduja & Patchi
