Thankful For My Classmates

I am thankful for a few of my classmates. The first that I am the most thankful for is Christion Rice. He helps be a better student and is my partner in class especially when we do group work in class. He  helps me better my learning experience. He presents good ideas and helps me better my ideas and class time. He also sometimes reminds me when we have homework when I see him out of class. He is the most helpful classmate I have in this class. Another classmate I am thankful for is Nyla David. She sometimes gets the chromebook for me so I don't have to get up. Another person who also occasionally does this for me is William Jamison. they both also help me with ideas in class. I am so very thankful to have Christion Rice, Nyla David, and William Jamison.

What Did Margaret Do? 

Within the story "The Short Happy Life Of Francis Macomber", we see a struggle of control and power, all throughout the story. While seeing these power struggles we see the most consistent shifts of power between three people, Margaret, Wilson, and Francis. Within these power shifts we see Margaret, the wife of Francis trying her best to keep the power away from her husband. These shifts happen all throughout the story.

At the end of the story we see Francis in a life threatening situation, he is being charged at by a buffalo that he previously thought that he had killed. As the buffalo began to charge towards him, we see Francis and Wilson fire at the buffalo, but both of there aims are off. Finally right when the buffalo is around a foot or so away, Margaret takes a shot and just "happens" to land right in his skull. Now the debate is on whether or not she did this on purpose. In my opinion she did on accident and purpose. I believe she got caught up in the moment and saw an opportunity, and she took it. I believe that she got caught up in the moment and didn't think for the long term. I believe that when she did it, her instinct was to regain power, and she could of regained it by shooting either Francis or the buffalo.
