It was a silent but horrible night. My brother Hansel and I were listening to our step-mother try to persuade our father to abandon us in the middle of the forest. I could believe what I was hearing. Then I heard my father disagree, which cheered me up. But then I soon found out that he changed his mind and agreed to it. Hansel, who was next to me the whole time saying nothing, until he looked and saw that I, had tears of disbelieve running down my cheeks. He told me it would be alright and that he was going to make things better. I didn’t know what he was going to do. All he did was leave the room for 5 minutes and when he came back he told me to get some rest before tomorrow. I did just as he asked and I rested my head on my bed and slept till the next morning when I was awaken in such a bad tone, that I almost fell off the bed. It was my step-mother waking us up to get ready to go to the forest together. I felt so bad because my parents wanted to get rid of me and my brother. When we got to where we were going my parents told me and Hansel to wait here till they got back. They told us to go to sleep

"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.

Kate Chopin
"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.
