“The Lady or the Tiger” Which Door?

In the story, “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton, the man opens the door and see the tiger. The princess had found away to stop the man from picking the door with the other women in the other door. The princess was jeluse which it said in the story, and who wouldn't be, known that the man you love may have someone else to hold. With that she did not want to see him with her so she ended his life with out him even known what was going to happen. Also she found out which doors had what for a reason and I believe it was so that she could do her little evil plan to stop him from opening that door.

"Cranes" Before You Read: Duty

A few years back I was sitting at home with all the other kid in my house and I was asked to pull a joke on my overnight, at first I ended up agreeing with it until I found out that it had something to do with his pillow, shoes and other personal things he took with him to work. I ened up telling them that what they was about to do is not cool, and me being a lover of shoes and everything I kind of felt what the overnight was about to feel when he woke up. I ended up going to my room and they ended up staying up late to pull the joke. The next morning the overnight was over his head mad and the three kids that did it gave it away by not going to school the next day becuase they did not get the rest needed and also becuase one of the younger kids ended up telling someone else about it. I was happy I did not do the joke with them and I put myself in the overnight's shoes that day.
