Family Feud!
October 3rd, 2007
Saki’s “The Interlopers” is about a feud between two families that lasted for three generations. Have you ever had a feud with someone? When you look back, does the reason still seem valid or not? Does your response to the person seem justified and balanced or was it an overreaction? (Be appropriate – no names or “dissing” people here)

We all have feuds in our lives most of them are completely ridiculous. Last year a big feud broke out between me and one of the people I thought I could trust with my friendship. We both listened to what other people told us, which just fueled the fire. Looking back we both know that we were overacting. We apologized to each other when we finally saw how ridiculous we were being. Just like in the story it made us stronger in our friendship.
Have you ever had a feud with someone then look back on it and think that was the stupidest thing ever??? I bet you regretted it to. Well I’ve had a couple of those before but one of them that I’m about to tell you about could be the worst ever. When I was staying in North Carolina my friend Amanda and I were the coolest ever. Nothing could come in between us. Then one day there was this boy. His name was William. Anyways he liked me more then he liked my friend. So when she found out she got real mad at me. She started calling me names that I’m not even going to say. So just because of that boy I lost my best friend. To be for real it wasn’t even worth. I regret everything about it.
Have you ever had a feud before or in one now?? Well, in the book called “The Interlopers”. It was about a feud between two families. The feud lasted for three generation. It ended when the last generation got eaten by a pack of wolves. I had a feud before. When look back at it today, I think it was very stupid and immature. We reacted in the wrong way. But I was glad it ended before it got out of hand, somebody got in big trouble or hurt.
Saki’s “The Interlopers” is about a feud between two families that lasted for three generations. Once, I got into a feud with a student I wish not to name. She was supposed to pick me up from school, however, on purpose; she left me there until my mother could pick me up at five o’clock. Now she doesn’t carpool with me. It still seems to be a valid reason. My reaction was justified and balanced and by no means an overreaction.

In the short story, “The Interlopers”, two families are in a feud that lasts for three generations. Unfortunately I have been in a feud before. When one of my close friends betrayed me we weren’t on good terms for a long time. I believe that once you lose someone’s trust it’s incredibly hard to gain it back. I don’t think that I over reacted. When your “friend” talks bad about you behind your back and pretends that everything is ok, it’s not too cool.

Family feuds can make a person’s life horrible. When I had a family feud with my older brother, we never see eye to eye on anything. Here’s how it all started. When my mom, brother, and I went to the mall, and were picking out school clothes. I wanted to get a new phone, and he wanted a nice pair of shoes. So he told her after me, and we kept asking her until she said no to both of us. So we were angry at each other for at least two weeks, but we got over it.
In “The Interlopers” two families had a feud between each other for three years. My sister and I have many feuds. Our feuds aren’t as long or as hateful as the two families in “The Interlopers.” We have feuds over non valid reasons. They are usually over clothes or little things like who gets to use the computer first. Most of our feuds are overreactions.

Family Feud!
I’ve only had one little family feud in my whole life. It was with my best friend I’ve ever had. It was about when I was eight years old playing rec baseball. At this point in the season if you lost your season was over. When we played each other my team won. And he was a little upset but as you can see I haven’t had very many Family Feuds.
I had a feud wit Bob Joe while we were reading this story. It still seems valid to hold the grudge but I am not. What happened was he threatened to shoot me. The reaction was probably not reactive enough. My life was threatened, and all that happened was I got mad. It is over, and we are semi-friends again, but I still think about if I should trust them now or not. I do trust them now.
I feel sure that you are joking about some of this. If you would like to write another entry to clarify your response, I will delete this one and keep the revised version, Keith.

I have had a feud with one of my friends. The feud lasted for a year and a half. It all started when she called me a name and then told the principle that I called her it. They never went back to the office to tell them the truth. Later they apologized and I accepted their apology but I still feel weird around them.
I had a feud one time with my friend. We were playing basketball and he beat me and I got really mad so I threw the ball down the street and made him go get it and then I walked home. I shouldn’t have reacted that way because it was just a basketball game. So it was an overreaction.
Have you ever had a feud with someone before? I sure have. When I look back on it, it still seems right. I have never really liked him and he never really liked me. He has been mean and annoying to me for as long as I can remember. I believe that it’s fine because I don’t yell at him or hit him. I usually just avoid or ignore him for as long as I can.
First impressions are rarely accurate. I have a friend who, the first time I met him, I hated. After I met him I never wanted to see or hear about him again. He was not very talkative and kind of rude. He did not respect me at all. However this year, when I had actually had him in one of my classes, I earned his respect. He started to talk to me more, and wasn’t rude at all. He helped me with problems and I did the best I could to help him. Now were best friends.
Have you ever had a best friend who you thought would be there forever? Well I certainly have. Her name is Jane Harris; we were best friends since the 6th grade. Until 8th grade year we fell out. It was over some he say she say stuff. After all this happened our family couldn’t stand each other. By us not liking each other our parents couldn’t stand each other. Every since then when we see each other we don’t say anything to each other. But I have been thinking that we should just stop the family feud, but I didn’t do anything to make the family feud come about. Now the family feud is still going on.
In my past years of knowledge, wisdom, and sarcasm, I have had my share of feuds. They were not all worth it though. I can remember so long ago, in the third grade, when I and got into a heated debate over a silly little thing. It was so silly that I have forgotten what it was about. While reflecting on a valid reason, I could not find one. My reaction was probably a bit over the top and a bit dramatic, considering I was quite the little actress back then.

I was in a feud with my friend because he talked bad about me. Now that I think about it was not that big of a deal. It was not a big deal because what he said was not that bad. The feud did not seem valid because everyone forgot about it. My response was not valid because I was really mean for a long time. But I fix the problem and we are friends again
I had a feud with my parents about getting a later bed time when i was younger. No my reason does not seem valid. My reason was that if i stay up later then i will make better grades. It came to show that when i was able to stay up later i used the time to do games and watch television instead of studying. I think that i over reacted to the pleasure of staying up late by not taking the extra time i had seriously to study.
Have I ever had a feud with someone? Of course I have, really about once every 2 weeks actually. You know how little brothers can be, well I have 3 and they can really get on my nerves. They always are trying to get me mad and when they succeed I’m not really proud of the way I act towards it. One example I can think was a few weeks ago. I was sitting in my room watching TV when my brother comes in and takes my laptop without even looking at me. This made me furious. I just blew up at him before he even left the room. Now that it is over, I thought about it and he is young. I should have asked what he needed it for. I felt bad for yelling and went to apologize, but he gave that sarcastic face which made me even more mad. So maybe I did act in a bad way, but I tried to redeem it.
Some times i can be a little hard to get along with. My brother and sister can account to that. The only fight that i can ever recall that was a longterm quarrel began in elementary school. I did not understand why my friend just started to hate me after one night. I thought it was the stupidest thing in the world, but to her it was war. I would try to say hello and she would blow me off or say something mean. Later on in the eighth grade we were grouped together for a science project. We ended up talking a getting to know each other. After we changed our minds about one another and we became close friends. I had asker her why she had hated me and she said it was because i had better grades. We both agreed that was the stupid.
