"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mary's Giggling


At the end of "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because she got away with the murder of her husband. She also was eating with the weapon with all the sheriffs and when the detective said "The weapon must be here on the premises and it is probably underneath our noses for that fact." The detective began to finish his food. After the police leave the house I predict that Mary will be taking a breath and say to herself that it was a close one. Then she would begin to notice that she is alone. Then she will cry into tears because her husband is dead, she is alone, and is going to live with the guilt.

The Cold Equations’ – Marilyn’s Point of View

In Marilyn's point of view was that she was just a girl who wanted to see her brother that was on another ship. Her brother was going to be gone for an extra two years. She just danced her way on and when a cleaning lady came on she hid quickly. Then the shuttle left and she was still on it. When she heard a guy calling her out because his job was to kill any trespassers. She was not afraid. When she heard that every trespasser that was in the ship had to die. She was afraid and confused. She did not understand why. She just wanted to see her brother. Then she wrote a letter to her mother and father. Then she wrote a letter to brother. Then she knew what had to be done and she died at the end. She was careless in the beginning and then afraid in the middle. Then at the end she was brave and knew what she had to do.

'The Bass, The River, And Sheila Mant" Airhead Stereotype

Sheila Mant is known as a beautiful airhead. She is a red head with a nice figure as it was said in the story. She has know clue that the boy likes her. She was like a bright star that shun in the sun. She didn't know that he tried to impress her by his swimming talent. She didn't even recognize that he was on the swim team. She was popular in her school and was a little not that smart. She had many guys who wanted to date her. When he took her on the canoe, she didn’t realize that he was trying to catch a fish. She was slow on that part; well I would have thought that she would have felt the boat moving.
