"It wasn't fair" (269). I really don't know what to think of this story. All of the other stories that we've read haven't had a flat out bad ending. Some of them have ended weird, or interesting, but never just bad. This one has a bad ending, I mean, a random woman is stoned to death, and the whole town isn't the slightest bit upset about it. I guess this story reminds me of another class I'm taking, Human Geography. In that class, we learn about other culture's beliefs and ideals. Some people in the class will flat out say, "That's just stupid" or "Why would they even do that?" Sometimes we just have to step back and realize that it's a cultural thing, and it just something that they do.
