How to become a camp icon question:
In the start of the story it states, " I would not speak ill of dead people-not for all the world." I have noticed that other people I know also strongly believe in this superstition as well. My question is why? Who cares if the dead are talked about? People do it all the time. Do you believe in this superstition?
