"The Outcasts of Poker Flat"

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths, who/what would you blame & why? (PICK ONLY ONE)

- Uncle Billy

- Citizens of Poker Flat

- Bad luck

- Outcasts

_______________________________________________

In my opinion, I think that I would blame bad luck because no one could predict what was going to happen. They didn't know the weather was going to be bad and could do anything about it. They just had a lot of bad luck. I think I blame bad luck because no one in the story was physic. No one could tell they were not suppose to stay and camp out because a storm was coming. No person could know because there were no TVs or radios back then.

"The Story of an Hour"

In the story, freedom is not that simple to have. In the story the setting was back then when women didn't have any freedom. In the story freedom is wanted by the main character wants freedom but can't get it without dieing. The author tries to explain freedom as something that people die for.

"The Blind Man"

In the story, the disabled are treated very differently. They are treated as outsiders. Where no one wants to pay attention to them or even help them. The author describes rich and poor, as where if you don't have money you’re a no body. And where as if you do you are known to every one and every one wants to meet you.

"Desiree's Baby"

In the story, racism is very much stated out. Once you start reading you can tell there is a lot of racism in the story. But the author puts it as where one person rules another person and tells that person what to do. Mostly common name would be slavery.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment

One day i was talking with my old friends Mr. Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, Mr. Gascoigne, and Widow Wycherly. They were all sitting across from me while i was talking to them about my experiment. When i told them if they could help me in my experiment. I saw that their face were confused and didn't believe that i could make them young again. Then i showed them an example with a fifthy year old flower that i made young again. they asked how i could make them young again, and well i said all you have to do is drink the water i recieved from the fountain of youth.

I could see their faces in disbelieve. But then Colonel Killigrew asked me what the effects would be when i told him that he had to find out for himself. I finally saw that they all were

Desiree's Baby, The Sequel

Armand stood there with a blank look on his face. There was no emotion on his body. He stood there holding the letter in his hand. With no movement and no reaction. Then one of the slaves walked up to him and said very queitly."Are you okay, Sir." All Armand did was look at the slave with a mad face. Two seconds later the slave was on the floor and Armand was walking up the stairs towards his bedroom. the slave on the floor looked up and saw him running up the stairs and then a big slam. When he shut the door to his bedroom behind him. All the slave by the fire just stood there looking when he shut the door. They all stared at the door and saw him pacing in his room, and throwing thing around the room.

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the efects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

I think that i would do the operation because i would like to see how it feels to be smarter then a doctor. I would like to be smart temporarily because i would not have to ask people questions when i don't understand. Then i won't have to be made fun of for not knowing an answer to a question either. For example, if some one trys to make fun of me or does something to hurt me. I would know what to do or whats happening. Unlike Charlie in the book where they make fun of him and he doesn't get it. In my opinion i think i would like to be smart for a little while then live life not knowing new things.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 3-7

After reading Chapters 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter & give your solutions for each.

One problem I think Benjamin might have is that his wife will get mad at him for going to war. I think that the solution might be that they get divorced because he left to go fight in the war.

Another problem he might have is that his dad's company might have some problems with economic things. I think that the solution might be that the company runs out of business or gets into big trouble.

One last problem would have to be if Benjamin was killed in war. The solution would be that the story would end and Benjamin would have to die earlier then when expected.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Benjamin looks & is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do?

In my opinion i think that Roger shouldn't care what his son looks like or what other people think of him or his baby. he should be proud of his son because he is his son. he is his blood. familys are suppost to stick together and support each other. in any way they look. in my opinion i think roger should get over his reputation and love his son just the way he is because alot of people are different. it doesn't matter how people look on the outside because they should know that familys are there no matter what.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

What would you have done if you were Roger Button in Chapter 1?

In my opinion i think that i would have also been in shock too. i would have not known what to do either. what i think i would have done was i would have taken the kid home and thought of something there. i would have treated him as if he was a little kid. and i would never really know what to do with him because he is really old. i would have bought him some clothes and i would thought he would have the mind of a new born baby.

Good gone Bad

It started out to be a dream
One that made me believe differently
But then you went and changed your ways
From lovable to revolting
You made me think you were everything
But soon I found you to be just like them
The guys I said you shouldn’t be
Why didn’t you care
Why did I even bother
A better question
“Why did you change”
I couldn’t believe you ended up being the person I tried to avoid
You’re a good dream gone bad
You’re a nightmare
