Skin Stealer Flaws
The curious thing about life is that there are flaws everywhere. No perfections made in life, but yet some flaws can lead to bigger mistakes. Skin Stealer by Shel Silverstein and Ladies First by Shel Silverstein both show how a small mistake can lead to something bigger.
Both texts are about how doom of one person can be caused by a small mistake that happened previously. In Skin Stealer it states, “ he’s the coo-coo who’s wearing my skin.” This shows that the character’s skin was stolen by a coo-coo.

In Ladies First it states,” Pamela Purse yelled,” ladies first,” pushing in front of the ice cream line.” This shows that she must be treated well to believe that she has every right to push people out of the way so she can be first.

But there’s one thing to remember, never make the ones where you’ll come to the end before time.
The two texts, both written by Shel Silverstein, support an idea that some small mistakes can lead to one's untimely end. In the beginning it starts off how one's skin was stolen and a girl ends up losing her life. As time goes on, during the middle, all learn how it came to those unfortunate events. At last in the end, we go to the beginning, to show how this all started. Now the end is here, so let's great it well. Even small mistakes can lead to something
