Michael Obi

Have you ever met someone that is a "Know it All?" Sometimes it's the really intelligent people that think they always know everything. I  mean no doubt their smart, but everyone is wrong about something, sometime. What about this, do you know of a time when maybe you wanted to get rid of something, but you really didn't know the value of the item? Michael Obi from  Dead Mens Path, got caught in a really bad situation where he didn't know what he was getting himself into.

Michael just got hired to be headmaster at a school. When he started the job, he had good intentions of turning the school into a better place. Obviously he would have to make some big changes in the way the school is run, and possibly the appearance. In his quest to better the school,  he thought that it would be best if he closed on of the paths near the school. Little did he know that this path was like tradition, it had been there forever. He put up barricades in front of it so people couldn't walk on the path. The people in the town, and also the people from the school were very displeased with Michaels actions. Michael was very ignorant to the way the people felt about this, and also what he was doing by taking down the path. That path was very important, and since he didn't want it there that's kind of like a loss for the people. Since Michael was so ignorant, something kind of bad ends up happening to him. You know what they say, "What goes around comes around." The towns people decided to trash his school in order to try and get the path back. If only Michael would've realized that what he was doing was bad, he wouldn't have all these bad things happening to him. But that wasn't the only bad thing that happened to Michael Obi.

Since Michael was doing all these bad things, that the people didn't agree with, he ended up getting a bad evaluation. The lesson learned is that you definitely want to make sure you really know what you're doing before you start, and also be aware about how other people might be effected by your actions.
