Show us her paper. would come to my mind. Is this the ritual that we always celebrate?, Why All right folks Mr. is it so unfair?, How about my family? Summers said. Lets finish my kids? after saying that, I saw my son holding pebbles on his hands, that quickly. was the most heartbreaking part, It isnt fair, it isnt right although its part of the ritual, but my own family? Who even invented this Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, stupid ritual?! Are they sure that they and they were upon her. would make a good harvest after killing someone?. These are the thoughts that I came up to my mind, when I placed my self in her situation; pity and sad.
