Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!
Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.
Today we are going to discuss whether we could be one of the merrymen. While we read Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen, you have to be wondering if you could be there in the midst of everything yourself. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and find out if you could be one of the merrymen too!

Could you be one of the merrymen?
You know, I've thought about this often over the month. It's a toss-up for me. I like to believe that I could be, because I am strong-willed and a fighter for justice. Plus, I would love to be the girl who can kick the butt of anyone at any time with awesome knife and fighting skills. But, part of me feels guilt over the idea of stealing, even if it is for a worthy reason. Then again, I'm one who takes things way to literally. If I were placed into this time period with these circumstances, HECK YES I could be one of the merrymen. And I would want to be. ^_^

You know what, I said I wouldn't want to steal or fight or hunt, but you're absolutely right - if you were placed into that time, in those circumstances, it would be totally different. If it was like a 'do this or die' situation, I think we'd find the strength. I think we could both totally be kick-ass heroines. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe so would! ;) And yes, our instincts would kick in for survival and we'd do what we have to. Although I'm sure we'd still have matters that may bother our conscience a bit.
