The Outcast of Poker Flats

This story is very sad because it could happen in real life and it could happen to anyone. This story has a lot of realism in it because it shows a man killing himself when the struggles got to hard to handle. It also shows realism when mother Shipton starved herself to feed someone far younger who was pure. Most people wouldn’t think that society is still like this, but i bet a mother would starve to feed her baby. It also happens today in society because so many people commit suicide when the going gets tough and they can’t handle life anymore so they give up the easiest way possible. Another thing that is sad but true is we cast people out for being different all the time but we don’t look at it until we read a story like this.
