WELCOME TO THE ELEMENTS OF FICTION PROJECT
When you blog about any of the short stories, you can discuss characterization, the plot, the theme, or anything you liked about the story. If someone else has posted on a story already, you can choose to respond to their post with comments, or create a totally new post.
When writing a new post make sure you put the name of the story and some details (theme, character names, etc.) in the "Labels" box at the bottom. This "tags" the post so it's easier to find later. If you have questions (and I'm sure some of you will) just ask. Also, don't forget to write your first name and the first letter of your last name at the end of your posts. This will help me give you credit for your work.
I will be reading these every evening ('cause I'm a loser), so be sure to write something insightful or amusing, and always original.
Lamb to the Slaughter
"Lamb to the Slaughter" was very dark. It's what Mrs. Parker talked to us about dark humor. It's also very ironic when the policemen are sitting and eating the leg of lamb and wondering where the murder weapon was. They were saying its right under their noses when it literally was. They were eating it. I also think that the wife could have handled the situation a little better instead of killing him. I mean there are so many divorces in the world, and if every wife killed their husband then we would be short half of the world's population.
