week 4, part 1

Jodee Blanco had said in Please Stop Laughing at Me, “I swallowed hard, trying to be brave.” (p. 88) This quote helps explain what this book is really about. Jodee might be getting taunted at her schools in some parts of the book, but she still has to be brave to get through her years of school. Please Stop Laughing at Me is all about a girl being bullied at school, and that’s what this is saying.
