Jonah The Troublemaker Satire
Bullying was used a lot in schooling environments to visualise that you don’t bully someone at all schools. It’s a physical and verbal way that is satirised to identified that isn’t the way of people to behave. Throughout the show, Jonah the troublemaker is not just a swearing or cursed words, but a bully. In the second episode, Jonah was confronted by the Co-ordinator, because he was in trouble for bullying a redheaded student named Ben. He asked for him to apologies, unfortualally he said offensive language towards Ben. He said that we had thrown Ben’s bag on the train tracks and punched him in the leg. Jonah said ‘f-you’ and ‘ranger’, which is a hyperbole. He eventually apologises, but he said ‘sorry homo’, symbolised that it’s a sarcasm

    According to Siebecker & Swearer, the three types of bullying behavior that is generally observed by researchers and psychologists are 1) behavior that is intended to cause harm, 2) the behavior continues over a period of time, and 3) there is an imbalance of power (2011). Bullies can exclude others, make fun of, ignore, lie about, and even steal from and assault their targets. These behaviors can be physical or verbal and carry equally negative consequences. Bullying can be direct or indirect. It is important as a counselor and a service to our students, to be aware of the prevalence of this toxic behavior and…

    One form of bullying that Golding expresses throughout the Lord of the Flies is physical bullying, and Golding expresses this form much like how it is used today. Golding shows readers that the characters, Jack and the Bigun’s are created to represent “bullies” throughout the novel, who pick on the Piggy and the Littlun’s physically. When Jack lets the signal fire burn out, gets into an argument with Ralph, and Piggy jumps in and adds his input to the situation, “‘ You didn’t ought to have let that fire out. You said you’d keep the smoke going--’ This from Piggy, and the wails of agreement from some of the hunters, drove Jack to violence…He took a step, and able at last to hit someone, stuck his fist into Piggy’s stomach. [Jack’s] voice was vicious with humiliation…Jack smacked Piggy’s head. Piggy’s glasses flew off and tinkled on the rocks,” (Golding, 71). This shows readers that Jack bullies Piggy physically by punching him and he does this because Jack feels humiliation and maybe a decrease of the power he holds. This is significant because in the article Why Do Kids Bully?, by Byrne, the author lists factors that may contribute to possibility of why children bully in modern days. One of these factors that relates to the reason why Jack abuses Piggy can relate to , “Some aggressive children who take on high status roles may use bullying as a way to enhance their social power and protect their prestige with peers,” (Byrnes). This…

    Bullying has been a part of American childhood since at least the turn of the 20th century. Classic Hollywood films – the “Our Gang” series, “Little Lord Fauntleroy” and “Poor Little Rich Girl” – all present what we in America today would call bullying – children being persecuted physically/psychologically by others. In some of these films the bullying is presented as a part of the rite of passage from childhood into adulthood.
