Response to just Lather, that's all
The story is about he hair dresser who is put in a situation where he must decide if he should kill the military leader. the question i chose was 'How do our personal experiences shape our views of others?" This question relates to this story because it talks about the reasons why the hair dresser is secretly a rebel. H has seen the people that have died because of the military and in his opinion life would be much simpler without them. His other experiences of being a hair dresser show him he much take pride in his work and do the best job possible no matter who's hair he is cutting. A passage from the story is "A blade like this doesn't fail. It is my best. But i don't want to be a murderer, no sir. You came for a shave and i perform my work honorably. This shows how important his job is to him. It also shows that he values his job and doesn't want to be a murderer.

Brother dear
In the story “Brother Dear” written by Bernice Friesen Greg young can trying to find her own way in life. He comes from a family who are not very supportive of him choices. Greg decides he doesn’t want to go to university and decided to go plant trees. Greg’s dad is very against Greg’s decision and tries to force him to go to university. Greg’s dad believes that he must go to university in order to be successful as taught by his parents. Greg has other thought. To me Greg seems like someone who cares deeply about the environment and who is trying to find a different journey in life that his dad was hoping for. Greg is a very independent person and will not take no for an answer.
