The Outcast of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts deaths, who/what whould you blame and why?
Uncle Billy
-Citizens or Poker Flat
-Bad luck
-Outcasts


In my opinion, I blame the citizens of Poker Flat. First, I think that they are to blame to because they are the people who got them out of their town. They accused them of only one thing. That was that they were not worthy. The people from Poker Flat misjusdge them. Although, they were responsible for their own appearance. The outcasts were really not bad people.
Mr. Oakhurst was a gambler, but he did not drink or do anything bad to Poker Flat. The only reason that everyone wanted him out was because he had "stolen" all their money. In position of Tom and Piney, they didn't deserve this. They were just a nice couple going to a town. They wouldn't have stopped if they hadn't met Uncle Billy, Duchess, or Mother Shipton. These people all stayed in a place were they were not supported by any food or materials. They wouldn't last long. Their whole destination or paths could all have been different if the citizens hadn't pushed them out to a cold coming place.
