Theme Of Tuesday Of The Other June
After I read the short story, “Tuesday of the Other June”, the exclusion picture, and watched the music video, “Invisible” I think that the theme of all of these texts is that bullying is never rewarded with kindness. In the story, “ Tuesday of the Other June” by Norma Fox Maser, June T. is being bullied by June M. and nothing changed until she stood up for herself. For example, on page 7, the text says, “‘No,’ I said again, because it felt so good to say it. ‘No, no, no, no.’” This shows that if she hadn’t stood up for herself and said no, than she would have kept being bullied by June M.. In the picture the theme is the same a in the story, “Tuesday of the Other June” - bullying is never rewarded with kindness. For example, it looks as

    In the 1950’s people did not take bullying seriously, students would bully because they wanted to look tough, cool, be popular, and they wanted that self approval from their peers. They would bully mostly younger kids or students such as “nerds or geeks”(Steven) without having any consequences . The bullying would be physical or verbal just like in lord of the flies they would bully verbally by saying hurtful words like, "You're talking too much...Shut up, Fatty."(Goldin) or , "You're always scared. Yah---Fatty!"(Goldin) and physically when, "Jack snatched the glasses off his face…"(Goldin) or, "Henry and Johnny were throwing sand at Percival who was crying quietly again..."(Goldin). If you would tell an adult that you were being bullied they would just tell you ,“get tough”(Steven) or ,“stand up”(Steven) to the bully. People started to take notice of the effects of bullying in the 90s, when two seniors at Columbine High School in Littleton Colorado, shot twelve students and one teacher to death, and wounded many others. Many ask, what would drive these student to commit this malicious act? Well both of the shooters were classified as gifted children that had been previously bullied for years.

His students stood there, and the teachers willfully ignored his complaints as the savage beatings went on, to blame Jamie on his sexuality.

    Back in the 1940s, a horrendous event occurred, the Holocaust. But even though the Holocaust ended many years ago, the destructive spirit still hangs in the air. It’s an event that ended the lives of millions, and left many more scarred. Unfortunately, bullying exists today and has many parallels to the Holocaust. Bullying is an act of using superior strength to intimidate others. The Holocaust itself embodies many themes of bullying. Both the Holocaust and bullying begins when people target certain victims, act as bystanders, and feel the need to put others down, or a need for power.…

    Pollitical Cartoon

    I agree with the message being conveyed in this cartoon. As a student, I am a witness to acts of bullying almost every day. It is said that every 1 in 7 Students in Grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying. Bullying is an escalating issue that is often overlooked by most adults and other children. Many so-called ‘bullies’ don’t realize what they’re doing is cruel, and hurts. I and likely many others believe that, if enough awareness is raised about bullying, the issue may be able to be put to rest. Children should not have to feel the need to hide from those that should be nothing but kind to them.…

    Before, in the 20th century, bullying was a regular thing in everyday life. In this time, no one paid attention to effect that bullying had on kids because no one at the time showed any serious reaction to bullying. In 1999, two seniors at Columbine High School killed a total of 13 people which brought attention to the world. With a link of aggression and bullying, this became more serious issue. Entering the new century, many of those who have had a personal connection with bullying or some one who has been bullied have been speaking out and against this issue while others stay silent against this cause. Those who advocate against bullying and those who stay silent, both participate in this way because of personal experiences and personal fears.…

    Bullying Effects

    • 3128 Words
    • 13 Pages

    I am sure that we can all, regretfully, think of an incident where you or someone you know have been bullied. Whether it was being called a derogatory name, being singled out because of your race, or even somebody saying something inappropriate about you on facebook. All of these examples are far too familiar in today’s society. So familiar, in fact, that statistics show that one out of every four teens face problems with bullying on a daily basis, whether it is mentally, verbally or physically (Fox,3). Bullying has not only ruined the lives of victims, but also ruined the lives of the bullies themselves. Many people do not understand the negative effects bullying has on oneself and/or their family until they are actually involved in a bullying situation. Bullying is a fact of modern society, however, knowing the psychological and even physical effects that bullying can cause, preventative measures should be taken by parents, teachers and school administrators to abolish bullying for good.…
