Elliot's letter to the student body was extremely powerful and moving. He had several reasons to write it, and it had many strong points. But I believe the main thing he wanted to get across was that awful bullying happens quite a bit and it quite possible to make bullying just a small problem, but in order for that to happen many people (anybody) have to help.
The letter Elliot sent out to the student body really made me think of how much courage it takes to take the victims side. I think partly because I read all this and it sounded so straightforward and simple, yet bystanders standing up for victims is increasingly rare. Although the quote was in a fictional story, I think some of it can touch bystanders everywhere who read this book.

Dear Matthew,
your post was great. I really enjoyed reading it and the way you wrote your post with a lot of details made very interesting to read. I really liked how you included examples from the book and your opinion about this situation. Keep up the good work! :D
Good explanations, and you fitted your opinion to the answer very clearly. I see that you're talking about courage of Elliot being in the victim side, but you might tell other things about Elliot's other emotions. Besides courage, Elliot might have fear or a cry for help. Also, you might write about how the bullies might do when they read this letter. But overall, good!
I think you did a good job on explaining your answer fully and using the page numbers to back up your answer. Very good job.
