Gossip can be very dangerous depending on who it involves. If you start a gossip about the government. Some day you might end up in the back of a van with a bag over your head a a gun in your back with someone telling you not to move. Then the doors will open and you get drug out of the van by your hands. You hear some doors open and close and you get shoved into a chair and the bag ripped off your face and there is a single light on top of you an guys in black all around you.

Dreams are things that you dream of having someday or things that you want to get done someday. One example of this is when Beatrice was dreaming of opening a tea shop. another example of this is when Tillie is wanting and hoping that she would win the science fair that she was attending.

I think that self image is what a person thinks of them self and how they live there life in the world that they have been given. One example of this in the story is when Beatrice thinks of her self as nothing but a woman that has been given bad luck. Another example is when Ruth thinks of her self as a crezey person

Life Versus Death

In the theme life versus death I think it means a story about someones battles in life to live and not die. One example of this is when the family is living in a old rag out house just trying to get by with what they got. One more example of this is when the girl and her fights to go to school in sated of staying home.
