Sticks and Stones May Break Our Bones, But Names Will Break Our Spirits
Addie asked Dushawn if he would like to run for President for the Freedom Party that will focus on Minority students. Surprisingly, the popular, smart, 1 of 3 African Americans at Paintbrush High says yes.
Falling Action
Don't Forget Friday is NO NAME DAY !!!!!!!
The Candy Kitchen
The gang of five met up at Joes house to make campaign posters for "The Freedom Party."However, the next day at school they were called into the principals office. They were told to take down the posters. They were also advised that they could not cooperate under a third party. With that said they secretly created "The No Name Party."
Resolution
The statement Bobby chooses to deliver for elections is the story's conclusion. He talks about how his mother passed away from cancer when he was young and how hard it was for him so he would bring a peanut butter fluff sandwich to school every day. He began to gain weight as a result of the sandwiches, earning him a nickname and others. He said that The No-Name Party would end all name-calling. He stepped off the stage to thunderous applause.
The next day, they are called to the principal's office, where the principal announces that he has finally decided to stop observing harassment and created the No Name Day to end bullying. Until the next day, everything is excellent. Everyone is cheering and clapping loudly after Bobby concludes his speech. Even though they didn't win the election, they were all pleased.
I am proud to be apart of this day - Thank you The Gang of Five. You all turned out to be very successful.
