Thank You Ma'am

There are many great quotes in this story. The quote isn't from the woman or the boy it is from the narrator. When I read the part "the boy looked at the door- looked at the sink- looked at the door again- and went to the sink, because a 15 year old boy usually would take off down the hallway. Since the boy has started to trust the woman he just listens to what she is telling him to do. At that point as a reader you realize that the boy got caught in a bad position and now he realized how good its is to be good.

Point Of Veiw of the Crazy

Authors Note: This is my point of view piece on "Dead Mans Path" I am showing that how the towns people think that Micheal Obi is crazy.

In the dead man’s Path Michael obi thinks that he is the brightest man ever by thinking that he has saved the school by blocking off the sacred path that has been used for centuries. The priest of the city thinks that Michael obi is making a big mistake by blocking off path and not letting the people walk down it. When the priest said that people have been walking on the path before he was born, and before his parents were born.
            The point of view of the town’s people is that they don’t like Michael obi and he is the stupidest person in the city, and that he has no idea what he is doing. When he put up the sign and the fence he thought he was going to save the school and make it the best school ever. On the other hand the town’s people were probably thinking that this man is crazy so let’s destroy his work. People may think they’re going to change the world, but then everybody else in the world is thinking that you’re crazy.

Skating into the New Year

The thing I will remember the most is skating into the new year. When me  and my family found out that we were going to Minocqua, Wisconsin we new we were going to skate at 12:00 on December 31,  but we didn't know how perfect it was going to be. It was no doubt the best night that we were there because of the people we were skating with and the weather, most of us were expecting  sub zero temperatures and a 20 mile per hour face numbing wind. Instead we got a perfect night with a medium snow, enough light to see, and barely any wind . That was a night that I and whoever was there will remember for a very long time.
