Blog 5: The Man Who Was Almost a Man

1. it is hard to say who is narrating after reading the first paragraph, it could be Dave but it also could be the writer talking. the story seems to be told from two points of view first and third. it is told by a person with bad grammar most likely from the south. 

2. he asked her by showing her the catalogue. she doesn't want him to have one, and gets angry. she says he has gone crazy. she lets him get it, but for his dad.

3. dave was scared when he told the truth. he was stuttering and was terrified and was crying. the crowd wanted to know where he got the gun. they wanted to know why he shot the mule. the crowed ended up laughing.

4. i think that the gun train is a symbol of his rocky path to become a man. It could also represent his death. the train could be taking him away, away from everything, away from life

5. i dont think society would be any better without people like dave. sure it would be safer, but he did not mean to put anyone in harm, without those clueless people we would not learn our lessons of what is write. they should not celebrate his departure.
