The Bully By Roger Dean Kiser

“The Bully”, Roger Dean Kiser Has someone ever told you, “You do not forgive because you are weak, you forgive because you are strong enough to understand that people make mistakes.” This is how the story became to be. The Bully, by Roger Dean Kiser is a story about a bully, Tony, and the bully victim, Roger, meeting many years later in a small town restaurant. Roger the bullied victim is what shaped the story into how it is by being the strong, forgiving, and caring person he is. Without him there would be no story to tell. Roger is one important character in this story because, of the traits that he holds. First, Roger is a strong person, physically and emotionally. Being bullied since middle school by tony it affected him emotionally
Even through all the pain and suffering Tony has put him through he still cared about him. Roger went and was able to help Tony and his wife out with the car which showed his thoughtfulness. This was important to the story because is showed that you shouldn’t treat people the way they treated you. People can change and even though they were not Tony was not the nicest before Roger still help him. This action was a great way to put the story all together. Although the way they ended the story was a bit devious there are some predictions I made about the future. In the end Roger gave tony a card and said to call him sometime, in the future Tony did just that. He called Roger and thy met up to catch up on what has been going on and became good friends. Also it could end very badly, Tony could blame Roger for him being in a wheel chair and have a huge fight. The would blame each other for everything and never see each other again. Out of these two suggestions I would prefer the first one because I love one happy ending, In conclusion, Roger was a strong, forgiving and caring person because he was bullied. Being bullied from Tony is what made him to the person he is. That is how Roger learned to be respectful without getting respect back. This story showed many lessons, I wonder how the rest of the story would’ve
