So, it’s true he thought, it’s true “Henry Hopkins said right after the old man ended his story.
Hopkins don’t believe anything that man said as far as am concerned it’s all a lie “Jackson said
Henry only stood there giving his partner an inquisitive and doubtful look.

Come on Jackson, we chase tales all the time. What’s a tale about a magic harp hidden deep in the forest of an island call green ruins any different.
“Everything you said just now is nonsense do you know what kind of magic properties this harp has?”
“Good question let me ask the geezer perhaps he forgot to mention that in his story.”

In the story “The Tooth” an example of this is when Clara keeps telling her husband “I feel so funny” [Jackson 207].

Her husband keeps telling her it is all the codeine and whiskey she has had during the day, and keeps ignoring her pleas. Some people simply do not believe in mental illnesses, and think that people that are suffering from them are making them up in their heads, and…

    Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in the unmarked border between the Carolinas’. He grew up on a small farm with only a mother and two brothers, which, he later lost in the war. During the Revolutionary War, Jackson was captured and tortured at age 14 by British troops. After the war he became a frontier attorney in Tennessee. In 1796, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and later to the House of Senates. He was appointed colonel in the Tennessee militia in 1801, known as a war hero. He was then elected as the 7th president of the United States in 1828, where he served two terms. Some make the argument that he was one of the best presidents, but he hurt the country more than anything.
