In the story it says, “About how it was like a lemon, it was, and how hot . . . I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.” This connects back to my idea that outcasts are sometimes the solution to society’s problems.

But unlike Wendy and Peter from The Veldt, Margot was affected negatively from her classmateś actions.

Maybe it was her exotic cinnamon-colored skin or maybe it was her yellow, green, and white checkered shirt, either way Laticia should’ve expected the stares. Sighing, she sets down the top hat open-side up and pats her fluffy corgi on the head “Just another day of work isn’t it Fofo?” Fofo only responds with a lick on her hand causing Laticia to smile tiredly. Turning away from the lazy corgi Laticia picks up her unicycle and hops on cycling back and forth to keep her balance. It’s a slow day it seems with only a few coins dropped in the hat in 3 hours; on days like these Laticia regrets ever thinking she could make it solo as a street performer.
A dark haze filled the night air. Happy birthday to me, Mist thought as she slipped through the abandoned street. It was an hour past curfew and if you were anyone else you wouldn’t dare to creep around in the night, but Mist wasn’t anyone else. Her misty blue hair and unique black attire was known all along the land. People feared Mist but they also respected her. Although her father, Captain Hook, who feared little boys and stayed hidden in his broken down boat, was a laughing stock, her tough exterior and excellent skills with a sword brought her reputation up. When Mist was younger, before her father went completely crazy, he used to spend hours among the broken down ship deck teaching Mist the art of swordfighting. That was the only thing she ever thanked her father for otherwise she couldn’t care less how much longer he lived. Mist’s manipulating, deceitful, and downright evil reputation helped her among the little land they called Miscreant. Two people outranked her on Miscreant. Baba Yaga and her son. But since no one had ever seen Baba Yaga’s son, Mist had no competition in the villain department. Baba Yaga ruled over the villainess crowd and was the most feared thing on the island. Not human, no one quite knew what she was. The only time
