"The Outcast of Poker Flat" by Bret Harte

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcast's deaths, who/what would you blame and why?
-Uncle Billy
-citizens of Poker Flat
-bad luck
-outcasts

I would have to say I blame the citizens of Poker Flat for many reasons. Some of the reasons is that first of all the citizens of Poker Flat though that sense they don't deserve to be in Poker Flat they should be thrown out of the town and also sense they were the outcasts of the town. They didn't really deserve that, they weren't really bad people, sure one of them drinks a whole lot but other people do too. Also there's lots of other really bad people, and just because they were the outcast they didn't deserve that.

My second reason is that if the citizens of Poker Flat hadn't kicked them out, then they wouldn't be dead, they would have been healthy and alive. If it wasn't caused for the citizens of Poker Flat kicking them out, the outcasts wouldn't have to go on a journey to move out from Poker Flat. They wouldn't have to go through hunger and cold weather, then death. If it wasn't for the citizens of Poker Flat, then they would have been alive, living their rest of their lives.
