The Outcast of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths, who/what would you blame and why?

Uncle Billy

Citizens of Poker Flat

Bad Luck

Outcasts

If I had to blame anyone or anything for the death of the outcasts themselves, I would just blame it on the bad luck. First of all, If everybody thinks it's uncle Billy for getting out and getting all the horses it's probably not his fault because anyways the next day the snow storm was like 20 feet already! Even if they had the horses, they would not be able to make it out, and probably Uncle Billy got stuck to some place and we didn't know what happened to him.

Second of all, If everybody thinks it's the citizens of Poker Flat's fault well it's not because they have been bad, the outcasts. They're prostitutes and bad people and even if they want to change and they really changed, they can't blame the citizens because they have a bad background and nobody would believe them that they're being good now. Everybody thinks they're bad and would never change. For example if you saw a killer and they said they changed would you believe them, help them, and trust them, NO!!! Who would trust them? even if they really changed then sorry, they've been bad and that's what they get.

Third of all, the last one, the outcasts themselves. It's not their fault because they even if they've been like that and they try to change, they wouldn't know the weather would be bad. They have their horses and everything they need so even if they get kick out they're alright. But uncle Billy betrayed them, but they're not sure what, if he just went to do something or try to get something. So it's not the outcasts' fault either.

The only thing left that could be blame is bad luck, they just didn't get lucky that time and it's just their fortune. The bad luck strikes them, they got everything to survive and what they need but it's just been really bad weather and condition. So I think the thing to blame is the bad luck.

Kate Chopin

Freedom- The Story of an Hour. This story is mainly about a woman who doesn't have any freedom because of his husband. So one day she found out that her husband died in an accident so at first she was kind of sad. But then after that she thought having a freedom since her husband is dead. She was very happy until when somebody was opening the door and it opened she saw her husband she became very shocked and then died with heart attack. This story is about freedom, for an hour she was happy and thinking she was free from her husband and could enjoy life and thinking of enjoying life but then she died fast for thinking that too much and shock. This is what the story is mainly about and it talks about.

Disabled, Richs vs. Poors- The Blind Man. This story is mainly about a blind man who just go around nowhere and everywhere in the streets. Until one day one guy from the neighborhood got irritated from him and give him a red box of pencils for him to seel for money to buy food. When he was crossing the streets a rich guy got ran over by two cars and people came rushing. But they never payed attention to the blind man crossing the streets. So this story is talking about ableism, how they don't care about disabled people. They went to the rich guy first rather than helping the blind guy. So that's what mainly the story about and what it talks about.

Racism- Desiree's Baby. This story is about Desiree and her husband Armand. And they fall in love then have a baby. But, when the baby comes out it was black, Armand thought it was Desiree so he kicked him out. But he found a letter from his mom to his dad that he was black. So this story is racism to Desiree, and the baby and also slavery.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment

I can't believe it! They became young again after they drink the water, I can't believe the experiment worked. When I saw them become young minutes and minutes passed they wanted more of the water and when they became really young like they are in their thirtees they started messing around amaking un of how the way they look and dressed old. They started acting goofy and acting high. They also started hitting on Widow Wycherly and one is holding both of her hands and the other one is holding her waist and the third one is touching her hair. But when I see them throught the mirror they look old. They also almost fought each other like before just for Wycherly. So I think the experiment of giving them a second chance didn't work. They are still the same, hustler, drunk, ruined politician and loose woman or a bustdown. They are just being greedy and want to be young again and do the same thing. They all didn't deserve a second chance because they never changed they only learn to be greedy. They all never learned their lesson now they look sad and disappointed that they are old and will never be young again.

Desiree's Baby, The Sequel

After Armand read the letter he was shocked that he learned he's black, he's a slave. He went crazy and look for Desiree, but he couldn't find her and since she was very mysterious and nobody knows anything about her background she was lost and nobody would know where she is. Armand went crazy and killed each slaves one by one. After he killed the last one and there are no more slaves working for him, he ran away where nobody would find him. After 3 years he was still the same color as he is so he went back to being a slave owner. When one of his friend saw the letter he told all the slaves and the slaves revolted against him. So the slaves beat him up and make him a slave too so his friend became their owner. He lived as a slave and remember about Desiree and feel sorry for what he have done to her but now he can't do anything. After a year working for his friend he saw his wife Desiree and his friend and they are married. He was shocked! he started talking and saying something to Desiree and apologizing for what he have done to her before. But now Desiree doesn't believe her, he's black now. But Desiree think for a second, he thought she was black and their baby is black so he's black, maybe it is Armand, and he can talk good and read. But then for what he have done to her she didn't care and just cried painfully. In the next day Armand died, he suicide and Desiree killed herself too.

Flowers for Algernon

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

If I were given a chance to have an operation that would make me smarter for temporarily I would not do it. First of all, I knew the effect that it would be just temporary so when I get smart then it would be cool but then I wouldn't know when I will be back to my real intelligentl. So the thing is that when I'm smart it would be really good but then when I get back to normal it would feel different and I would feel dumb. Do you ever want that to happen to you? Once you know the things you know then you become smart and know everything and then you start to forget everything only the things you already know. That would feel weird and you will feel dumb and you wouldn't have the same confidence you had before when you know things. When I said confidence it's by mean that for example you're a student and you're good and you understand things and you know to answer things and then you become smart then the same again you would feel dumb and wouldn't have the same confidence to answer things. Because you will think you're wrong and you feel dumb then it would be harder you will feel dumber than before.

Another example why I wouldn't do the operation is I wouldn't risk being myself right now to be smart then feel the same then feel a little dumber. I wouldn't risk being smart if I don't know what would happen, I know it's temporary but what if the operation was wrong? Let's say you want to be smart to know everything and try to experiment yourself to be permanently smart, what if it goes wrong and you became dumber or not know anything, I wouldn't risk my intelligence to be smart and try to be like that, I would rather be the same. I wouldn't try to experiment myself if I wouldn't know what will happen next or what else will happen.

That's why I wouldn't do the operation, because I don't want to risk my intelligence and be dumber. Or even risk my life what if it goes wron and kill me? I wouldn't do the the operation if I had the choice.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 8- the end

Explain what this story says about each of these issues. Use examples from the story to support your explanations.

Family- Family is being one and helping each other out until the end. But in this case of the story of the curious case of Benjamin the family is not about being one and helping each other out in better or worse. In this story Benjamin's family is breaking up because of his problem that he was born old and he was getting younger. At first the story says that Benjamin's father didn't like him and when he came back out of war his wife resided to Italy and he just went with his son Roscoe.

Age- In this story the age matter in alot of ways. At first he was born as a seventy year old man and getting younger and younger until to a baby and die. His age was going backwards and when the problem is when he's going to love somebody he's going to get younger. He can't love because his age is going backwards and it's a problem so the age here in the story is really different and affected lots of things.

Beauty- Beauty here matters alot. At first he was an old ugly man and changed into a cute adorable baby. In the story it says that Haldegarde likes a 5o year old man that will take care of her than a young man that she will take care of. And she started not liking him because he looks younger and younger instead of getting old. So beauty in this case reall matters.

The Curious Case of BEnjamin Button, Chapters 3-7

After reading chapter 3-7 predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter and give your solution for each.



I think the problems that are going to him is that his wife's father will hate him and try to kill him after the war since they are married together. Then another problem that will happen to him is that he will be younger when he got home of the war so he's wife is not going to like him no more because he's younger now. Another problem that I think will happen to him is that when his wife don't like him no more then they will break up and then he will get younger and younger and nobody will take care of him and just die as a baby by himself.



The first problem is that after the war he gets home and then his wife's father found out about them then he will try to kill him because he hates Benjamin so I think the solution is just go far away after the war then go visit his wife then go to other place aways from her father. The second problem is that his wife might not like him no more because he's getting younger and then they might break up, so I think the solution for that is just to tell her the truth and there's no such thing as aging stuff and it's the truth that he was born old and he's getting younger and younger. The last problem that I think might happen is that if his wife break up with him since she might not like him no more then he will get younger and younger and nobody will take care of him and then he dies by himself as a baby. And I think that the thing to prevent that problem from happening is to try to convince his wife about his problem and it's real and if she really loves him then she would believe him and help him until he dies.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

Roger is overly concerned with how Benjamin looks and is worried about what the people are goin to say. What should he do?

I think Roger should just tell the truth about what really happened and even if he's rich it doesn't mean that nothing wrong is going to happen in his family. He needs to accept the fact that he got a son that has a little problem and maybe they could just get use to it and just live normally. It's because for he's rich and he's a good guy and very respectable,doesn't mean he can't have a son with a little problem, but he can't be ashamed of his son it's part of his family and he just need to accept it and don't care what people think. He could just live with him normally and people would get use to it. He's respectable so maybe they wouldn't do anything or say anything about him or his son so he should just not mind it.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

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

I would have freaked out like Roger Button and just maybe bring him home and just live with him. I'll just take care of him like his my father since he's old and he knows what he's doing. And just live with him and not treat him like a baby, I'll treat him like my age but take care of him. And since he's old and I had no idea what to do with him I'll just leave him and do what I do everyday and just let him do whatever he wants. And I will just leave him home like a normal old people and not let him go to school or nursery, he's old he knows things. He knows how to talk and do stuff so I'll just live with him normally. He's part of th family.
