    Brian Woodard’s Review for Benjamin on The Feather Pillow I like how you found it so interesting Benjamin and you always bring up interesting perspectives. Because all I could see was a man who was kind of tyrant sexually by the way the narrator explained the situation but he did have another side of him your right he was extremely worried and helpful with her situation. I did find the story a little unrealistic as well for them not to be able to find the source of blood but I personally was born

    “If birds of a feather flock together‚ they don’t learn enough.” To me‚ this quote means that you have to be on your own to learn‚ to grow‚ and create your own life. If you stay in the same place with the same people you will not have the chance to see what more is out there and how many things life has to offer.
