1/7/15

A. Lamb to the Slaughter
B. Women kills husband with frozen lamb chop and covers it up by having police eat it unknowingly. This story was dark yet somewhat humorous. C.The woman was sneaky and manipulative, the husband seemed like a jerk and the cops were very gullible as helpful. D. The plot twist happens when the woman kills the husband and when the cops eat the lamb which is the weapon she used to kill him. E.Irony is used in this story. Irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. It's ironic how she killed the man with the lamb chop and the cops were eating it. Another literary term used in this story was imagery because of the way the author describes the house and dining area. Lastly mood is used because you can feel the woman's sense of urgency.
F. I rate this a 3/5
