Last week our class finished reading "Memed, My Hawk". Our class had a discussion about this book. This book was about a boy whose family is being starved and punished by a controlling landowner. He then ends up killing the landowner and his nephew. The boy goes to his uncle and tells him that he needs to tell him something. The boy confessed to his uncle that he had killed them, and his uncle was happy and proud of his nephew. PROUD? killing someone. i do understand that this man was a very mean landowner but killing?? nobody has the right to kill. the boy is then has no other option but to live in the mountain side becoming a brigand
when i think of an outlaw i think of the tv show Bonanza. this is an old tv show that takes place out west in Texas. the people have guns and horses, bandannas.
