In your response, indicate your thoughts on your classmates’ comments. Consider the comments and questions raised. Which ones do you think show potential for a good exploratory exposition that an audience (like you) would find interesting and engaging? What questions would you like to see explored more fully?

The author’s purpose for the essay is to provide an opinion backed by sourced facts. I believe it is an opinion because I disagree with parts of the essay. The audience is the public. The main idea of the essay supports the idea that the problem of bullying in today’s society is widely exaggerated, and the content of the bullying hasn’t gotten any less brutal in the past decades.
