My students had a few thoughts about this after reading about Ms. Wiley.
~ J thinks you should have the right to own snakes.
~ Z said depending on what type of snake it is.
~ B said No tourching houses, you get caught by po po.
~K said you could use snakes as self defense. You are right, no one would break in.
~ R said if you do have snakes, you have to be responsible with them. Don’t let them go just because you don’t want them anymore.
~ Z said you should only hold snakes if you are an absolute expert.
~ B said it is unfortunate that her vanity got the best of her. She seemed to think that she was invincibe.
