Analysis: 

This story is written by a well-known author named Ray Bradbury. He has written a lot of interesting stories out of the five books I read by him this one is my favorite. I loved how he made it be on another planet. My favorite part was when they let their friend go because I actually thought they were going to keep her in there.

This is my first time reading this story and it was great. This story had a lot of ways you could look at it. You could look at it like her friends don’t really care even if you were wrong and they would do something to you. Another way is that they didn’t like her and wanted to lock her in the closet. The last way is that they were to young and they did not no what they should do because they are young and they didn’t know what other way to punish her. I looked it as the third way. 

Just because you think someone is wrong doesn’t mean you can do something to them.  Everyone likes the feeling when they are right because if you are right or they were right it is fine. You or they made one mistake. I couldn’t feel like that if I did something like that to someone I would hate myself and I do whatever the other person wanted.
