The Bully - Cosmo

Hello, I'm Cosmo and because my group finished all our books for literature circles we have to analyze a short story. Enjoy.

The Bully
Roger Dean Kiser

The bully is a literary short story about giving people a second chance while facing the consequences of Karma. In short, the story is about a boy called Roger, who meets his seventh grade bully at a restaurant. He broke his spine and needs his wife to push him around. Roger is completely fine, and while they discuss karma, they become friends again. There are several blog questions.

1. How does Tony's (the bully's) character change throughout the story?
At first he felt a little bad because he met up with his little victim from middle school but then all was forgiven and they started laughing.

2. How does this change affect Roger?
He feels nicer because finally he has friends

3. What do you think Tony meant when he said, "I guess you're thinking, what goes around comes around"?
Karma for all the bad things he did earlier in middle school to Roger

4. Why do you think the author wrote this story? What message did the author want to convey?
He wanted to convey that people should have a second chance because if you do something once you might not entirely mean it so it is not accurate to judge a person on one action.

That concludes my blog post :)
