One day a monkey came and told them to share it and spilt the land 50, 50; And as told they did.

"The Outcasts of Poker Flat"

If you had to blame someone or something for the Outcast's deaths' who/what would you blame & why?
-Uncle Billy
-Citizens of Poker Flat
-Bad Luck
-Outcasts

If I had to choose someone or something for the cause of the Outcast's death it would be the citizen's of Poker Flats for many reasons. One of the reasons it their fault for their death is because they kicked them out of the place. If they would've never kicked them out they would've still lived there. But once they got kicked out they didn't have no way to live anymore so they eventually died from freezing to death because it was so go out there and the snow covered them. Also because they kicked them out because they were supposedly drunks and strippers but they were still good people. Too me if they weren't causing you any trouble you would've just left them alone and let them play poker and whatever else they did.

Kate Chopin

The Story of an Hour:
I learned that you have to choose your freedom wisely, and too be careful what you wish for. The reason i am saying this is because if you want freedom go get it or if you want the freedom where your lonely than stay and your house or just die and be with god. Also the reason i said be careful for what you wish was because she was so happy when she heard that her husband had died and she said i can finally be free but when she seen her husband walk in the door she died and than she was really free. I aslo learned that freedom is a thing that you just get handed too you; you have to go out and get it really want it like if it's your passion and in The Story of The Hour she didn't do or get that.

The Blind Man:
I learned alot in The Blind Man. This story though me that people back than and sometimes today people didn't care for disabled people. In the story they didn't bother helpping the blind man at all. For example,

Without You

Without you, I'm not me
without you, My dreams would turn into nightmares
Without you, there's nobody to love.
Without you, I won't be cheerful
without you, everything will tremble
Without you, who would be there to protect me
Without you, who would dry away my tears
Without you, I'm miserable.
Without your love and care who would be there for me
Without you I'm nothing but worthless and
empty
Without you, I'm nothing but a geek and a lame
Without you I'm nothing but stupid
and dump
Because without you who would make me feel
special has the way you do b-wawa.
