The River Story
I would rate Abagail with a 4, becuase of how she handled this. She could have driven those 50 miles to the next bridge and crossed the river that way, but she did not because of her job. I understand how much she wanted to be with Gregory, but evidently not enough to ahve committed adultery. I think that if she had driven to Gregory's, she would be happy, instead of upset and laughing her head off because he was getting beat up.

Ivan I would rate with a 3, because of his refusal to help her across the river. He could have said okay, and taken her over but he did not. He said, "that i do not want to get caught in the middle of this." Well, if she was his friend,then why be that way towards her? I do not understand that.I do not understand him.

Sinbad, the river captain, i would most definitely rate him with a 5. He knew that Abagail really wanted to get across that river, and he used his sexual desires to get her across. Now that is one of the lowest things that Sinbad could have done, and he still did it. He could have left her alone, but did not.

Gregory, is rated with a 2. I also understand where he is coming from when I put myself in shoes. But, he could have handled Abagail's confession a differently. He could have broken up with her, or told her to make a choice between him or her own wants. Had he considered her reason for this intercourse, and talked to her and explained to her what he did not like about it, Abagail probably would have been able to handle his reaction better.

Now Slug, him I would rate with a 3 as well. The fact that he felt compassion for Abagail is nice, but he did not have to go and brutally beat up Gregory for any reason. He could have gone and talked, yelled, something besides beating him up, but beat him up he did. And the fact that that made Abagail laugh so hard, that alone tells you that it was completely unnecessary. Yet it still happened.



Fail. You only wrote 168 words and you did not rate the characters
