"Lamb to the Slaughter" - I'm the Detective

If Iwas the detective investigating the murder of Patrick Maloney in "Lamb of the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl, I would have looked deeper in the story that Mrs. Maloney told me and take the process step by step. I would have hired FBI and probably call in the Husband's job and tak to his boss and co-workers. I would have cantacted his friends and see if they knew anything with him. I would have been a great detective.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mary's Giggling

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because the policemen were trying to find the weapon, but what they didn't know was that they were eating it. Mrs. Maloney killed her husband with a piece of lamb by wacking it to his head. She put the big piece af meat in the oven so it would look like she didn't kill him. When the policemen were searching aroud for a big club they didn't suspect it to be the meat. After the police leave the house, I predict Mary will have a melt down and repeat the same thing with other guys that would leave her.

“Two Kinds” In the Shoes of a Prodigy

If I were to become a prodigy, I would be a chef because I have the desire to cook. People all over the world would push me to fulfill my destiny. I would make my grandma happy because she is the one that is pushing me right now of becoming more educated and less trouble than my uncles and sisters. For example, Ni-kan didn’t want to be a singer, or a belly dancer, nor a pianist, that much. But her mother was pushing her hard and making her practice the whole week. I predict that the way my grandma is pressuring me, I will become a prodigy of my dreams.

“Two Kinds” Conflict Experience

An experience that I have been in was when my friend wanted me to steal a car radio. I didn’t want to do it because I have never stole anything before, but he said that I would be making money by selling them. Deep down inside me, I couldn’t believe that I did it because it is a crime to steal. After that, I told him that there are other ways to make money. Ever since then we been trying to get jobs, well I got a job . I don’t know anything about him because it has been awhile. All I know is that, I wont end up in jail for theft.

“Everyday Use" Character to Person Comparison Paragraph”

In the story Everyday Use, the character Dee reminds me of my sister, Renne. The way Dee acts and her attitude resembles to her because my sister acts like the world revolves around her. She always wants to get her way, like Dee. For example, Dee wanted the quilts her grandmother hand-stitched. My sister acts like she is better than everyone. I get so annoyed with her that I just try to do whatever she wants because I don’t want to her nagging. Another example, when Dee took pictures of her family with the raggedy house and a cow in the background.

My family tradition is that the girls, on every holiday, cook and the boys have to clean the house. My gradmother alway makes her favorite potato salad. Everybody that has tasted it, says that it is the best. My second oldest sister sometime attemps to make, but it doesn't come out the same. She beggs to know what the special ingrediant, but my grandma says she makes it with love. I have told my grandma that one day I will make the potato salad taste like hers. That is why I love to cook.
