Time: A school day, 1978
Setting: Alaska Gateway school, where boys thought that girls were an inconsequential part of society. Although the boys didn’t treat the girls as badly as Henry treated
Sarah.
After curtain:
(Henry, wearing his extravagant cloth and his overpriced items, enters the class, squandering his money, followed by Sarah, wearing poor-quality clothes, but with a smile on her face that vanishes when she sees Henry. Finally, Billy enters and watches Sarah and Henry argue).
Henry: (sits on a chair, with confidence that manifests that he is the one with the power, in addition, he acts as
Although he didn’t care about what she said, therefore he started beating Sarah up, but then Emilie came along and defended Sarah.
(Henry ignores them because he doesn’t believe in what they are discussing).
Snodgrass: (shocked) And Billy you did nothing about it?
Henry: (rolls his eyes) She deserves much worse. Billy: I didn’t think that I should have interfered between the 3 of them, it didn’t seem right.
Snodgrass: Next time you should be an ally and help someone rather than be a bystander and do nothing.
Billy: (relieved) After what I saw and heard, I will defiantly be an ally next time.
Snodgrass: (angry) And you, young
Imagine if you are a girl and someone treats you the say way you treated Sarah. (gives him time to think). This isn’t acceptable. Just because some people mistreat girls doesn’t mean you have too.
Henry: (realizing his mistake) Although that isn’t my problem, she is unlucky that she is a girl. Snodgrass: It isn’t her fault indeed, but that doesn’t mean she has to be treated like an animal. She is a human too, like us.
Henry: (feeling guilt) But she is a girl. I have been taught that girls are subservient
Snodgrass: Whoever taught you that they were wrong, girls aren’t subservient. Some of them are smart, athletic, and helpful too.

Henry: I don’t know maybe I over did it a bit.
Snodgrass: A bit, she is probably crying her eyes out after what you did to her. You know that a lot of kids commit suicide just because of them being bullied. Do you want Sarah to kill herself just because of you?
Henry: (feeling sorrowful) No, I don’t want her to die. I guess you are right, I feel sorry and ashamed of what I did to Sarah I should go and apologize to her. Thank you for telling me the right thing Mr. Snodgrass. I have to think of ways to make her forgive
