Bushranger

The women in the story Bushranger from the coach are both gentle and lady like. When Starlight and his gang of bushranger rode the coach there are 2 women that are on the coach. Both very lady like with fancy dresses. When Starlight ask for there watches and purses they give it to him without a struggle. The young lady though tells Starlight that she only has five pounds which is her only way to get on the train at the station she is going to. With her saying that I think that the young lady is using her girlish charm to get her money back from Starlight. She uses her tears and her looks to con Starlight into giving back her money, with her little story about her mom only giving her 5 pounds. So Starlight being the gentlemen that he gives the young lady back her money and slips her a little something extra. So yes in the story ladies use their way that people see them as the finer sex to con the men into giving them something that they want. Weather it is batting a eyelash or shedding a few tears every now and then.

  1. Watch your spelling and syntax, Shane...pay attention to the spellcheck! I get where you are pointing to in the text, but perhaps you could explain it out more, or use a quotation, to really support your idea. KG
