This week, the eighth grade class read the short story, "Lamb to the Slaughter". I thought it was pretty funny for multiple reasons. For one thing, the main character murders her husband with a lamb chop. She then proceeds to feed the murder weapon to the police. Also it was written by the same guy who wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "James and the Giant Peach". The short story, “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, takes place in a humble house during the mid-1900s. It tells the story of Mary Maloney, a petite, pregnant woman, who wants to murder her husband with lamb meat and get away with it. She must fight against Patrick Maloney, Mary’s husband, who want to divorce Mary and not get murdered with lamb chops. She must also fight the police, who arrive at the scene of the crime and desperately want to find and arrest the murderer. First, Mary Maloney waits for her husband, Patrick, in her home. When he arrives, she tries to give him some food after a long day’s work. Then, Patrick tells her that he wants to divorce Mary, which causes her great sadness. After that, Mary goes to the fridge, pulls out a lamb chop, and whacks Patrick in the head, instantly killing him. Next, Mary goes to the store to buy some vegetables. When she gets home she cries over Patrick’s dead body, even though she just killed him. Finally, Mary calls the police. When they arrive, the police investigate the scene. As the story ends, Mary cooks the lamb chops and feeds it to the police, ultimately getting rid of the murder weapon.
