Novel connection. When Richie punches Russell in the face, his mother wants to call the principal, however, Russell wants to keep quiet about the whole incident. Russell’s mom’s response was, “I’m not doing nothing. If one adult did this to another, he be in jail. Why should it be different for kids?” (p. 45)
Blog Question: Should kids solve their own problems or should adults/parents get involved? Explain.
Answer:I think that kids should try to solve their own problems because they need to know how to solve their own problems when their older. I also think that parents should get involved if the problem gets serious. For example, if Richie would have called Russel names, Russel would have to try to solve his own problems, but when Richie beats him up I think that his mom should get involved because I would think that this was quite serious. His mom should also get involved with serious problems because if Russel would continuously get beaten up it would hurt him mentally and injure him physically for a long period of time.
