Question

PLEASE READ THE SHORT STORY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. THE STORY IS CONTINUED BELOW, SINCE I CANNOT UPLOAD MORE PICTURES,  AND THE QUESTIONS ARE ALSO BELOW.

Story (CONTINUE AFTER PICTURES):

mediation with me, some of their other friends have been harassing me. It hasn’t been anything really serious, but every so often when someone passes me they squeak like a rat. Or if someone bumps against me in the hall, Lisa and Tonia’s friends will say, “Well, I guess you’ll be getting a call to peer mediation.” It’s a nuisance, but it’s nothing compared to the kind of harassment that was happening before, so I still think peer mediation is worth trying.

Reflection Questions:

1. Do you think that the “solution” of eating together once a week was likely to promote forgiveness? Why or why not?
2. What do you think would have happened without the peer mediation process? How do you think the person telling the story would have felt?
