425 Words2 Pages

I believe John Oakhurst is an outcast. He is not like the other people in the town of Poker Flat. He’s a caring person unlike other people in the town. He’s a gentlemen to The Dutchss.

For example whenever Mr. Oakhurst, The Dutchess, Mother Shipton, and Uncle Billy meet Tom Simson and Piney Woods at the camp, Mr. Oakhurst doesn’t want Piney and Tom to come with them because he knew it would be dangerous and didn’t want anything to happen to them. Mr. Oakhurst had feelings just like everyone else. For example when ever they got stuck in the blizzard
