Chapter 10 - 20

1. In your opinion, should Jerry have said no to selling the chocolates?
- Yes, because he have the right to say no. He doesn’t have to seel the chocolate just because everybody’s doing it.
2. Where does school spirit begin and end? Where do you draw the line? Think about the kinds of things that happen between BHS and GA during football season.
- It doesn’t begin really. Its just there. And it will never end, there’s no line so it just keeps going.
3. Should you make sacrifices for your school? Talk about an experience you have had with fundraising at school. What was it like?
- You should sacrifice for your school, but you have to know where to draw the line. You also have to know what you stand up for and make sure that you’re on the right side.
4. What makes Brother Leon a bully? Give examples. Where does he cross the line?
- He likes to see people suffer and he pick on little kids. He embarrass Bailey in front of the whole class and then he turn it around and making everybody in the class think that they’re the one at fault. He can play with your mind and he have the power to change the moods in the class room.
5. Do you think the world is made up of either “victims or victimizers?” Explain.
- It can be both, because if we have a victim, then there certainly is a victimizers. You can be either one, it just depends on where you stand.
6. How does Brother Leon bribe David Caroni? Would someone else be able to bribe you with a grade?
- David make an F and Brother told him that he’ll give him an A if David tell him why Jerry didn’t sell any chocolate. I think it’s wrong to bribe, so no, I wont let anyone bribe me, because it’s not a fair game.
7. Why does Jerry refuse to sell the chocolates after the assignment is over?
- He doesn’t really know why, but he knows that he couldn’t say no. I think that it’s because he enjoys the look on Brother Leon’s face.
8. Jerry feels sick every morning because he has to face Leon. What physical symptoms of stress have you experienced in stressful situations?
- Blankout, because there’s too much going on outside the box.
9. Should the other Brothers do something about the Vigils? If the Vigils existed here at GA, would you want teachers to do something about it? Explain.
- Yes, because they are the adults and they should be the one taking the responsibilities of what’s going on around the school. I would want the teacher to do something about it, because it’s not the right thing to do.
10. Does bully happen at GA? Is anything done about it? Why or why not?
- I havent seen any bullying at GA. But if there is one, then I’m sure that everybody involved will get expelled.
