Your post should contain your thoughts on the following:
1. Make an inference about one or any of the characters from "The Stone"
2. What details did the story provide that helped you make this inference?
3. What information from your own experience did you provide from your own experience?
When you answer these please provide numbers and spacing so I know what question you are referring to.

Your blog post should look something like this:
1. Maibon, the main character from the story is a selfish individual.
2. When Maibon met the dwarf and was granted a wish, his wish was for HIM to be forever young. He did not think of his wife or baby at all when making his wish.
3. I have seen people make quick decisions without thinking them through before, and making a decision without weighing the consequences never turns out well!
1. Maibon in the story is selfish person and only cares about himself and does not care about anybody else.
2. I think Maibon is selfish because when he finds the elf he wishes that he could not grow old and did not care about his family members.
3. I once saw a person that all he wanted was presents for Christmas and he just wanted to open his presents and did not care about anybody else.
1. Maibon, the main character is a hard worker.
2. On the second page it said his tools were splintered and worn out which i think it means he is a hard worker.
3. When I have a basketball and use it alot it gets worn out just like the tools that Maibon has.
1. The Wife, one of the main characters is grateful for what she has.
2. The wife tried explaining to her husband that you shouldn't judge other people by their appearances because you don't know what the future will be for you.
3. I think you should look at yourself and be happy with who you are, instead of trying to be someone you're not.
1. The old man was only a small character in the beginning of the story.
2. It was difficult for him to get around, but he was still independent.
3. Being strong and independent are important traits and will help when life seems hard to accept.
1. I think that Maibon is a person that likes to do things his way and is selfish.
2. I think Maibon does things his way and is selfish because when Maibons wife says "get rid of this thing"(the stone) he say "nonsense".
3. I have seen people that are selfish and all they care about is doing whatever they want to do and if they dont get there way they will just whine and whine or go tell a parent.
1. Maibon worked very hard
2. I think that Maibon is a selfish person because his wife,Modrona,always says "get rid of this stone thing."
3. I have seen people that are selfish and they don`t care about anyone but there self. I make dicisons before I think about it.
1.Maibon,acted not mature. Why should he give up his baby not getting his tooth. He is shelfish.
2.His life is way more important than anyone else. He just wants to be young but it gives away with every one else. When he made that wish, he forgot about every one in his family.
3. My exsperienceis when people yell in that part of the book.
1.I think the dwarf is thoughtful because he tried to warn Maibon.
2.The dwarf said"we should not give those away they are very difficult".
3.I read a book called Tuck Everlasting it was about a family that drank out of a well and because of that they could never die.At first they thought it was good but they soon learned it was not, like Maibon.
1.maibon is a very nice person and is a hard worker.
2. I think Maibon is nice because he affored the old man who coould barley walk a ride in his cart.
3. I can realate to Maibon because I have tryed tohelp someone before.
1. Maibon doesn't listen or take advice from other people.
2. The dwarf told him what he should wish for but Maibon didn't listen.
3. I have seen people who don't think about what people have said to get, and it turns out really bad if they don't take there advice.
1.Maibon is a hard worker and tends to get selfish.
2. Maibons wife, Modrona keeps saying get rid of this stone and when he met the dwarf, all he could care about was him self by saying he didn't want to get old.
3.I met people that all they care about are them and are a little mean.
1. I think Maibon was very selfish.
2. He didn't care if his wife or kids got old and died because he didn't think about them when he made his wish.
3. I hear on the news all the time about suicide attempts and road side bombs. When people do those things they only worry about themselves and not their families or loved ones who will miss them when they're dead.
1. I think Maibon felt bad for the old guy that was stumbling around when he drove past.
2. I thought that because in the story he was kind enough to offer the old guy a ride.
3. The experience I have with it is that when I go down town or in some neighborhoods is people will usually do nice things for older people. Like they'll bake for them or help them with things.
1.I think Maibon is very selfish and works hard.
2.The dwarf would give him one wish but he only thought of himself and wished to be young forever.
3.Ive seen people just want everything to themselves and not care about anyone or anything around them except themselves.
1.Maibon is a very selfish person he just cares about himself not for his family and thinks about himself.
2.When Maibon finds the dwarf he wishes that he could be young again and he didn't think or care about his family.
3.I met this person who just cared about himself and just cared what he got.
1. Maibon wants to be young forever but he doesn't regard his wife's or kids feelings.
2. His wife said that it would be weird for him to be younger then his grandchildren and that he should use it for more important things but he just said stop bothering me.
3. I saw a show on a rich girl and all she wanted was a certain car ( that was really expensive), and she got mad when she didn't get the car she wanted.
1. Maibon is selfish and only thinks of himself. The story is about him.
2. Maibon is a father and he should provide the best life for his family.
3. Fathers are the provider for the family and when they don't then the children are sad.
1. I think that maibon is selfish because when the dwarf told him he could get what ever he wanted to, he got a stone that would keep him the age that he was at then.
2. He had argued with the dwarf because it said that he shouldn't get it, but he was to selfish to even listen to him or think about his family.
3. When I'm playing basketball, I see alot of people from other teams that think it's all about them on their team and their the star. But in the end, that team ends up losing because that player was to selfish to pass the ball around and let other people play.
1. I think that the dwarf is kink of fed up with human attitude.
2. The dwarf says: "I did. You wouldn't listen. No, you yapped and yammered, bound to have your way"
3. When I play football, there are always the QBs that throw to only their friends, and turn every other play into their personal yardage.
1.Maibon is selfish and cares more about himself than he cares about his family.
2.When Maibon saves the dwarf and gets his wish he immediately thinks of making himself younger and doesn't even put one thought into a wish for his family.
3.I think of sports when everybody wants to make the last play and sometimes tend to forget about the team.
1. I think Maibon is greedy, because he had no thoughts about twists the stone might cause and how it might effect anyone.
2. Maibon ONLY thought of how the stone would effect HIM, and not ANYONE else, and didn't really care when his wife to him to throw it away.
3. When I play sports, there's always a method that works for me, and i'm content with it, and suddenly it stops working, but I don't want to give it up and go away from what's working for me.
1. I think that Maibon he acts like give me give give me what i want.
2.Maibon never thought of the effects the stone would have on other things the stone wasnt worth it.
3. If im playing basketball and one of my team mates wants to make the last shot bam he isnt thinking he could get blocked and miss the basket.
