Hansel's and Gretel's witch step mothers point of view.



One day a meet a guy with a two children with him named Hansel and Gretel. I make him feel that I'm in love with him and i love his two children Hansel and Gretel. He fall for it and we were married that he was so in love with me. I feel like he loves me more than Hansel and Gretel. I've been with him for a while and all i want are the kids. I think of a plan how to get Hansel and Gretel without the father recognizing it. I throw all the food that we got without them knowing it, then i told my husband that we are losing food and don't have enough to eat. I told him that we will make the kids go to the forests and then we will get rid of them. The first time we did the plan, it was no good i was surprise opening the door seeing Hansel and Gretel. The second time i make sure they will be lost and never get back to the house. I locked the door and the next day we went to the forests and there we leave them. To make sure they are lost and can't come back no more i stay in the house for 3 days. I went to the forests and make a bread little house and turn to my old body. My plan succeed and i saw Hansel and Gretel eating a peace of my little bread house then i make them go inside and make them go to sleep. I want to eat them and order Gretel to look at the oven to find out if its hot already and if she went inside I'll close the oven but then she said she don't know how to do it and i was like you silly goose like this. Now I'm stack in the oven and die.

"The Outcasts 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


I think i will blame Uncle Billy. Even if the citizens of Poker Flat made the wrong decision to make them leave the Poker Flat or they did that decision because of there outcasts, they still can travel and make it to the next village or something. If Uncle Billy didn't take the horses with him and go travel by him self they can make it to the next village. If Uncle Billy didn't take the horses and run they can keep going to the next village without experiencing the bad lucks. If Uncle Billy didn't do those things in the first place, there will be no problem at all and they can live more longer and maybe change the way they are.

Freedom The Story of an Hour

For me this story is telling the readers that if you have any heart problem or something, it's not good for them to be shock or be so happy and everything or at the same time happy then get shock. The story tells the reader that people should be care full of what they want on there life or want they wish for. At first when he heard about what happen to his husband she can't believe it and cry but then she feel something that he never feel before, her freedom. The best part is when she was walking at the stairs with her sister and feeling so good, but then suddenly his husband pop out in the door and she was so shock and die. The part that i don't like was when her husband came back and she died because she think that she got her freedom and she can enjoy her life now but her husband came back and took all of that joy and her life.

Disabled, rich vs poor The Blind Man

I think the story was about how the people treat the disable people than a normal person. The story was talking about how people treat rich people and poor people too. In the story the blind stupid man was walking in the street with his jacket on and the sun hitting on him, no know ever told him that its better to take his jacket off and maybe you can get in the other street because the other street was cover by building and there no sun in there. Even the children try to get his pencil and try to beat him out as the cop trying to do too. When the rich man running in the street and get run off by two cars, people are rushing to the body and doctors are on place. I like the part where the rich man get run off by two cars. I hate the part where the children tries to get his pencil and the cop cam by and try to beat him up.

Racism Desiree's Baby

The story was about the woman and a man that has a very suspicious backgrounds. No body knows about the background of the woman while theres so little information about the man.
I like the part where they get married and so happy while i hate when he think that the girl was the one whos black and not him.
