The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil." Mary was a happy and devoted wife and was at the time carrying her husband's child. Towards the end of the story, Mary turns crazy and doesn't seem like her joyful self anymore. She also quick on her feet. After she killed her husband she quickly came up with a plan.

hers and the one by the empty chair opposite". The setting mainly takes place in her house. When Mary killed her husband, she cleaned up everything that would prove her to be the murderer.]]> 2021-05-22 01:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549558015 erikanguyen1 https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549563880 Exposition- Mary's husband (Patrick) gets home from work and doesn't want dinner. He also neglects Mary.

Rising Action- At last, Mary's husband told her that he would be moving away and that he would still send her money. Patrick also wanted to get a divorce with Mary.

Climax- Mary became to have a feeling of sickness and numbness. While she realized that Patrick wasn't joking, she swung a lamb chop on her husband's head. That killed him she started to make a plan for her alibi.

Falling Action- Mary was going to go to the local grocery store to make dinner Patrick. When she got back she saw him dead.   She continued to scared and worried since that was part of her plan. She then called the the police to report it. The officers went in the house to search but didn't find any clues on who killed Patrick. 

Resolution- The grocery clerk at the store cleared her from any suspicion. Mary gave the police the lamb that she had cooked to get rid of the murder weapon that she killed her husband with.]]> 2021-05-22 01:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549563880 erikanguyen1 https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549577745 The theme of this story is treason and ill-considered choices. This is simply because Patrick Maloney betrayed her as he said he would "give money" and see that Mary is "looked after." The theme is also ill-considered choices because Mary makes decisions that she didn't take the time to think through. ]]> 2021-05-22 02:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549577745 erikanguyen1 https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549593946 An example of irony is when Sam (the grocery clerk) had said to the police “...acted quite normal...very cheerful... wanted to give him a good supper... peas... cheesecake... impossible that she...” This is an example of irony because Sam is saying it is impossible for Mary to have killed her husband. The readers know that Mary actually had killed him.]]> 2021-05-22 02:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549593946 erikanguyen1 https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549600377 One internal conflict would be when Mary had to keep acting to avoid being caught. Along with how she had to grieve over her husband's death. This indicates a person vs. self conflict.

One external conflict is Mary vs the police. Mary must defend herself against what she views as an attack. When the police arrive and investigate, she fights back by deceiving them and making them eat the murder weapon. ]]> 2021-05-22 02:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549600377 erikanguyen1 https://padlet.com/erikanguyen1/gomjxk5hu4snainl/wish/1549607165 -"She loved to luxuriate in the presence of this man, and to feel-almost as a sunbather": Simile.
