The Bully by Paul Langan

Darrell hated the "power" Tyray and the other bullies had over him.  What would you do if you were being bullied?

It was an incredible and interesting book.I also learned a lesson that bullying is wrong.I would have told a trusted adult if i was bullied.

If i was being bullyed then I would warn them. If they kept on doing it then we would have to fight because if they continued on bulling me and the teacher does nothing doing then take I the chance to fight.

"The Bully" is an interesting book because it states a lot of problems kids have if they transfer to a new school. it is amazing how the new kid (Darrel) is bullied by Tyray when he first meets him. Then, at the end, Darrel, ends up overcoming his fear and stands up to Tyray.

I liked the book "bully" when Darrell stood up to his uncle. It was great also when Darrell took down t'rey and shaderd his wrist. It was sad when he had to move becuse the author described it so well. I likedit so much becuse the aurthor did a great job describing what happens to a bully in a kids life.

A kid name Darrell moved to California and he wished he had stayed home. He got into fights,was bullied,and was threatened what is he going to do with this boy name Tyray. Will he stand up for himself or back down. I like the story. It was a mystery to me because ever time Tyray did something to Darrell, I wonder what Darrell would do. I really enjoyed the suspense in The Bully.

I think "THE BULLY" was fantastic! It was about this boy who had to move, and when he moved he encountered a bully. At first he was scared, but at the end he stood up for himself. Personally, i think it was telling people that you should stand up for yourself and not be scared. Also it was showing that if you have to move, you shouldn't get nervous, you should be happy because you don't know what's to come for you. I think "THE BULLY" was awesome!

I think THE BULLY book was cool because it`s about a kid who moves. He gets mad because he misses his friend ,but he goes to this new school and meet this girl. The bully ,Tyray ,forces Darrell to give him money every Friday. Darrell then joins wresting team. Something very interesting happens at the end of the story. A cool book read!

I loved the story because its interesting and it shows that you need to stand up for yourself some times if someone is picking on you. The book is about a boy who that moves from Philidelphea, to California because his mother is having a tough time making money in her old job. Uncle Jason offers her a job in California. Then Darrel has some problems with this kid, Tyray, and he keeps picking on Derrel, then Darrel finaly stands up for himself and does a wrestling move on Tyray, then he was rolling on the ground in the food, saying "My wrist is broke!" "its broke!" and then everybody laughs.

Hi,
My name is Alyssa. i am in the 6th grade. The book "Bully" is about a new kid who moves to California from Philadelphia. He has trouble with a bully messing with him. So he decides to join the wrestling team. one day, the kid, Darrel, just couldn't take it anymore. He was always having to pay the bully, take from his mama's purse, and put up with the bully. So one day he stood up to the bully, and he finally got a girlfriend.
It all ends with the bully getting his wrist broke and the bully doesn't feel so tough anymore.
I recomend this book because it is full of action and has a good ending.

The Bully was a good drama story. The book bully was
about a boy name Darrell who moved from Philadelphia to California. His Mom tells him to make friends but it doesnt work out to well. He winds up having a bully after him. He ends up paying him every friday but then he fights back! The Bully was also a good suspense drama.

The story,The Bully is a ''realistic'' one. It is about a boy struggling to get friends in his new school.He recently moved to California from Philadelphia. A new life,a new school,I can imagine that was hard.The boy's name was Darell Mercer by the way.The Bully is one fascinating story to read.

"The Bully" was a great book! It teaches you that as long as you don't stand up for yourself, you will lose respect, and possibly be bullied around. It also teaches you that if you bully others, they'll eventually get tired of it, and defend themselves, leaving you with embarassment ! I enjoyed reading this amazing story. It has a great meaning, and it teaches you and unforgettable lesson.

I loved the book it had me wondering what was next I couldn't stop reading it. when darrell stood up to T'rey
it was so great because I thought that he would just let it going until her graduated and when he finally stood up to his uncle for teasing about his hight and weight it was amazing.

I liked The Bully because it was filled with excitement and suspense. At the end of every chapter it always captured your attention and made you want to continue reading to see what will happen next. My favorite part was at the end because that's when Darrell's time at Bluford became much better.

Since Darrell had been going to Bulford High , he had been bulled by Tyray ,Darrell struggle and struggle to, take it anyone . Then Darrell searched and he found a way to fight back.

I think that The Bully was very good. It started off when this person named Darrell moved to a new school. He has met a bully named Tyray. You should read this book!

The Bully is mainly about a boy named Darrel moving from Philly going to a new school having to meet new people, and having new teachers. What interested me the most was when Darrel and Tyray encounter because it makes me curious to find what they will do. What I didn't like that much was when Darrel was avoiding Amberlynn, I thought it was wrong. But overall it was a great story, and I really enjoyed it.

Hi my name is Teryn.
the book "The Bully" was a very interesting book.If i was being bullied, then i would just have to stand up for my self because if i don't then the person is going to keep doing the same thing until i could put a end to it.Something like at the end of the story when Darrel over comes his fear and stands up to Tyray.I know moving out of another state can be hard but Darrel is just going to have to get over it because there's really nothing he can do.

If i was buled like that i would not kill myself but i would not react to it.I would close out and you should.I would not fight him.Because he might have guns or alot of people to back him up.I will tell and adult.Then tell him to stop sending bad messages.Then if it countinues i would tell the police.if the police dont do anything i would just go to a different state or country.
