Dear diary,
Finally I got rid of that annoying Billy. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack = difficult to find?. I hate young people. Thus, he was getting quite suspicious, he asked too many questions. So, as I usually do, I poisoned him with my herbal tea. My secret poison.

Billy is now as still as a stone. Dead on the floor. Thankfully I caught him before he could bang his head on the floor so that he didn't stain my beautiful carpet. I feel nice. Actually, quite happy, I got rid of another annoying teenager. I don't have to hear his utterly annoying piercing voice anymore.

Dear Diary,

Today I killed a very annoying young man, Billy Weaver. Firstly, he didn't want to eat my dinner. Secondly, I hate young people and lastly, he was very suspicious. He started to smell the tea and I got worried if he will find out that the tea was poisoned. I do not regret anything i have done.

So, as you know, I do not feel sorry for his family.

What you have done?

Dear diary,

I, the Landlady, have killed, stuffed and operated alternative surgery on another victim. His name is, or was, Willy Beaver. Or was it Billy Weaver? Meh, who cares! He’s dead now, like Charles Mullholang and George T… T… Teepee? Whatever. I, like with the other two, offered Willy a cup of tea, with my special recipe: poison instead of tea bags! Mwa-ha-haaaa!! Billy is now dead and I will describe him in the next paragraph.

How Billy looks now and he has no feelings because he is dead?

I, the landlady,  am going to describe Billy’s looks now after his official death and when he has found out that I am his murderer. Now he looks extremely dead. We can see that in the pure pale face and my personal opinion on him is that he looks astonishingly much better than when he was alive.  He was mystified when he found out I was his killer. I felt almost sad for him. He trusted me but you know professional taxidermists have got to do what they have o do.

Dear diary,

Finally, I have managed to poison that really stupid, but, very handsome man that was starting to get a little bit too suspicious. I  hope he understood nothing of my plan. Yes I know I poisoned him but there is nothing I can do. Poisoning is my hobby and nothing will change that. I know I should feel bad for him, but you know what? I don’t. No matter if he is young I don’t really care.

Dear Diary,
today I finally got rid of Billy Weaver, another annoying young kid, even though very handsome! He was exactly like the others, clean, poor and actually very cute! They are have all become GREAT, but when I say GREAT, I mean GREAT puppets, they even look exactly like if they were normal. I can't wait to get another victim to poisoned it. But actually I've always had a thought in my head of how it's possible that I like it so much to put poison in other people's drinks, I think it's a method to get rid of all the stress and it helps me to be happy again and be again without problems. Nobody suspects anything since I look like just a poor pretty and nice woman, and I don't care about the rest of them, even a person like Billy that is young.  Nobody can stop me!!!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak 8 December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—

Midnight dreary: Atmosphere
Weak and weary: Bad emotions
Rapping at my chamber door: Atmosphere
Bleak 8 December: Atmosphere
Dying ember: Atmosphere
Ghost: Creature

Wholesale chemists: this shows a high quantity of substances.

Particular salt: This makes the sentence look creepy and unusual as "particular" shows that it is not the normal salt for cooking that may have collateral effects.

Last ingredient required: This gives suspense on what may happen when all the ingredients are unitedly collected and mixed together...

Late one accursed night: this shows that these events happen during night-time which is usually
scarier and creepier compared to day-time.

Strong glow of courage, drank off the potion: The word "glow" makes the reader think: what is the glow coming from...?

Agonies: They show pain and cruelness.

Dear Diary,

Today it was quite of an intense day as a seventeen-year-old child came to my B&B. He didn’t notice anything strange. Before going to bed I forced him, like with every other guest, to sign the customer book. He accepted and came downstairs. I’ve offered him a cup of tea and boom! Obviously, I’ve put a corrosive substance in the tea to make him feel so bad that he died.

Now, I’ve stuffed him like my other two guests on the room next to Billy’s and he looks so still and yellowish, since he is dead. I do feel sorry for him but at the same time I don’t because I’ve done this and will do this for every guest in the B&B. He was a perfect and kind young adult but I’ve just done it anyway… He might deserve it… he might not…

Explanation + Evidence

Link This shows that the reader finds some things out before Billy

# data[].attributes.body
Point= uses dramatic irony
evidence=When the lady tells him that Gregory W. Temple and Christopher Mulholland are still in the B&B and that Billy will soon meet them. Quote:"But my dear boy, he never left. He's still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They are on the third floor, both pf them together."
Explain: This is foreshadowing and from this we might understand that the two man got killed. He has no idea that they might have been killed. This is because he is too naive to understand that the lady has no good intentions. In addition, he is just there to stay he can't imagine the old lady as a killer.  Another reason is that He is a very  mannerly young man and it would be rude for him to think that the lady is a killer.

Second Paragraph
Point= Dahl describes the weather to create a gothic atmosphere.
Evidence: He descibes the temperature to tell us that the place where Billy is isn't pleasant. Quote: "It was Ice cold" This creates a gothic atmosphere as it uses a metaphor and if the weather is cold that means that the plce isn't pleasant. It would be better if it was a warm nice place where you can take a walk without freezing. In addition, I think that the metaphor give that extra touch of pookiness and gothicness.

evidence:when the landlady tells Billy that Gregory.W. and Chirstofern

# data[].attributes.body
The gothic genres in the landlady are miserable weather and a cold night.  Here is the evidence:"with a change at Swindon on the
way, and by the time he got to Bath it was about nine
o'clock in the evening and the moon was coming up out of
a clear starry sky over the houses opposite the station
entrance." This clearly shows that the atmosphere will be creepy.

The dramatic irony that we know and Billy doesn't is that the Landlady is a murderer.Here is the evidence: ‘His skin was just like baby’s.’ This clearly shows that the Landlady is a murderer.

E= This vivid picture of the condition in Bath which is "deadly cold".  The quote "wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks" emphasises the hard creepy condition which questions why it is too hard and difficult.

2nd PEE
P= we can see dramatic irony.
We can see many of them because Billy is naive and doesn't understand it.

PEE 1:
Point: He uses dramatic irony
Evidence: "I stuff all my little pets when they pass away"

PEE 2:
Point: Dahl creates a gothic atmosphere
Evidence: "But the air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks."
Explain: This creates a gothic atmopsphere as the words cold and deadly make the reader think of something very scary. The suspence and the scariness of this phrase is also empahsied by the badly maintained road that he is walking through. In addition, the words, "blade of ice" add up to the scary and gothic atmosphere as, usually, a balde can be very painful.
