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

If I was a detective investing the murder of Patrick Mahloney in "Lamb to the slaughter'' by Roald dahl. I would have first ask Mrs. Malohney if we can check the house and ask her to step outside while we check her house for any evidence or any fingerprints who killed her husband. I would have asked Mrs. Mahloney if there was anything particulary wrong with her house or if anything felt weird in the house that she never experienced. I would also have Mrs. Mahloney what time did she come back from the store and what she was wearing or what was her husband wearing. I would've have been a very specific investigator I would have kept asking Mrs. Mahloney questions and checked her house or any evidence.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mary's Giggling .

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Ronald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because she did not tell the police that she killed her husband. Also the police men do not know that Mary is trying not to make it obvious that the steak she hit her husband with she cooked the steak. Also the police is being really sweet to her and is being nice to her because the police man does not expect Mary to commit man slaughter or murder. After the police leave the house, I predict Mary will continue on with her life and never confess to what she did to her husband and how she killed her husband.

Situational Irony in My Life.

A situational irony that happened in my life was when I was taken away from my grandma when I was six years old. I was just playing outside and I was playing with my little sister. As soon as I turn to go inside my sister and my mom was fighting and arguing at each other and I did not know if they were playing or not. Not until I seen them both go outside fist fighting and the police drove by the house and seen what was going on. It was not even 5 minutes before I see the police come take my sister away and then take us away in a cps car. I was so scared I sat all the way by my brother and I rocked him to sleep almost because he was so hurt that we left the most important people in our life. But that is my situational irony because I was expecting us to stay with our grandma for ever.

“’The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant’ compared to “I’m Gonna Miss Her.”

“The bass, the river, and Sheila Mant and Brad Paisley’s song” Im gonna miss her is compared because in the story the boy is trying to get the girls attention by stop fishing. The story and the lyrics are compared also because the story has a theme, which is to never let anything get in your way when doing something in life. The lyrics of the theme is if you love something that your heart tells you to do don’t hesitate or wait. The story and the lyrics also have love and romance in both because in the story the boy really cared for Sheila but did not know how to show it and the lyrics talks about romance and love and how it affects people and what love means.
