Read the dialogue from the film “Ratatouille”.
Linguini: Listen, I just want you to know how honored I am to be studying under such a...
Colette: No, you listen! I just want you to know exactly who you are dealing with! How many women do
you see in this kitchen?
Linguini: Well, I uh...
Colette: Only me. Why do you think that is? Because high cuisine is an antiquated hierarchy built upon
rules written by stupid, old men. Rules designed to make it impossible for women to enter this world, but
still I'm here. How did this happen?
Linguini: Well because you, because you...
Colette: Because I am the toughest cook in this kitchen! I have worked too hard for too long to get here,
and I am not going to jeopardize it for some garbage boy who got lucky! Got it?
Linguini: Wow!

TEXT 2
Dear Readers,
Were you bullied at school today? Did you see someone else being bullied? According to a 2005
study by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, nearly one half of middle-school
students reported being bullied at least once during five school days. Even more kids had seen others
being bullied. Bullying is harmful not only to the kids that are bullied, but to every kid in school. Hitting,
teasing, name-calling and other forms of bullying create an atmosphere of fear and dread. Every kid
wonders, Will I be bullied next?
At TIME For Kids, we want every kid to feel comfortable, safe and confident at school, so
everyone can focus on learning and growing. That’s why we are so proud that the Department of Health
and Human Services has sponsored this supplement “Stop Bullying Now!” This is the first of three issues
you will receive this year presenting bullying scenarios and showing you ways to cope with them. Share
this comic book, and the two that follow, with your family and friends.
Bullying behavior has probably been around for as long as human beings have walked the earth.
We hope to give kids the tools they need to react appropriately to bullying situations. Bullying should not
be rewarded or tolerated.
Sincerely yours,
Martha Pickerill
Managing Editor, TIME For Kids
