The Revealers

Blog Response Instructions: 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?

Question: 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?

Opinion: Because someone is hacking into another person's account and using their name it hacks into other people's personal informations. The responsble way is to not let anyone get in to yours and not try to make anyone want to get in to yours.

Blog Question: Is bullying a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence? Is it apart of the maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood? Explain. Mrs. Hogeboom brings up this topic on page 108.

My Opinion: No it is not necessary passage for any process when reaching an adult hood. In the stage of adolescence often gets bullied or bully. What ever the reason is, bullying is a scary attitude that can totally spoil your life as a bully when you could have been a beloved person. If you are a childhood I think adults should put extra attention and prevent children from bullying other people. I think if adults leave kids to bully other kids, they would not be able to notice that they are doing wrong things. First trial they would think its bad. But if no one pays attention to it they would soon think it is not a negative action to what they are doing.
