The Revealers

In the novel, The Revealers, the students of Parkland Middle felt connected through SchoolStream or as the students called it KidNet where they were able to chat or instant message. Most of you do this nightly through MSN Messenger. With KidNet and MSN nobody could break into or eavesdrop on your conversation without it being known. Not anymore. Today’s technology allows you to assume the identity of another person. Do you really know whom you are talking to in the cyber world?

It is 10:00 pm on a Wednesday night; you have finished your homework and you are chatting on MSN with three other friends. After 10 minutes two more friends ask to join the chat. By 10:30 pm five more people have joined and it is fun; however, there is a joke said about one of the people, rapidly followed by an insult. At first, no one knows how to respond, then seconds later a message pops up stating, “I didn’t say that! It isn’t me saying these things. Someone is using my name. What is going on here?”

What is the issue involved in this scenario? Why is this serious?

What would be a responsible way to handle this situation?

How could a situation like this be resolved? How would one of the three main characters from The Revealers deal with this situation?

Answer:

The issue is this boy who copies another persons name and says bad stuff about him, for example “I am ugly” under other persons name. Yes, I think this is serious because other people might think that he really say that he is ugly and other people will spread roomers about it and make him feel bad. To stop this situation is to say sorry to the person that you did to and say that I will never do it again. In the book revealers if Richie, Russell, Catalina, and Eliot joined a conversation on MSN and Richie copied (imitate) Russell’s name and said bad stuff about him. If I were Richie I would say sorry to Russell amedaitly and end the situation.

I think that by growing up or being mature is very important from childhood to adulthood. It is like to grow up and solve these bullying issues like growing up to have a new family. Some people think that children will always be children, no it is not true they will have some ways to grow up and following there role models which gives them good examples and some times bad examples which they will follow in the future. For example Richie was bullying Russell in some of the passages he was doing for fun in some days he might do it when he is in his adulthood like he might kill people because its fun for him, but it might send him to jail. So it is very important to show children how to respect others in the future.
