He broke her heart so she acted irrationally. She did not meant to kill him, yet she let her body get the best of her. Her actions were not warranted, but she acted out of heart break.]]> 2020-12-02 14:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979954104 I think Mary's husband is to blame because he should have not cheated on her and this made her upset and overwhelmed whish led her to kill him https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979954620 2020-12-02 14:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979954620 I think that Mary's husband is to blame because he was the one that got Mary worked up. I think that Mary did not mean to kill him but at the same time her motivative was to hurt him. Her actions were not warranted. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955004 2020-12-02 14:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955004 Mary's husband is to blame for what happened. Mary should not have gone that far but he caused pain to Mary and told he he was leaving her. I don't think Mary meant to kill her husband I think she was acting irrational in a time of distress. Even though it was Mary's husbands fault, I don't think her actions were warranted. He did cause suffering to her but that is no need to kill. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955048 2020-12-02 14:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955048 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955058 I think Mary did not mean to kill her husband but she also was not mad that she did. Her actions throughout the story are confusing because when it first happens she doesn't really know what is going on then later it all kind of hits her. But in the end when she giggles at the people for eating the lamb, she knows she is safe and she does not feel remorse. ]]> 2020-12-02 14:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955058 Mary is not to blame for the death of he husband. I don't think Mary meant to kill her husband because she was in shock that she did it. She was not warranted. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955060 2020-12-02 14:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955060 In the story mary's husband was not to blame for his murder. yes, he should not have told her when and the way he did but he didn't think she would literally kill him. I think she wanted to kill him but when she hit him i don't think her thought was let me kill him. i didn't think she should have killed him. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955144 2020-12-02 14:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955144 The key conflict in the story https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955392 is Mary's husband is leaving her and she is pregnant. Out of frustration she kills her husband. ]]> 2020-12-02 14:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955392 Mary's husband is to blame because he's leaving her while she's pregnant. I don't think Mary meant to kill him so was just really angry at the time. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955455 2020-12-02 14:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955455 key conflict https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955659 The key conflict that occurred in the story was Mary killing her husband after he told her he was leaving her. She let her emotions take over but also remained strangely calm. ]]> 2020-12-02 14:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955659 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955842 Honestly yes I do think Mary's husband is to blame. I do not think Mary really meant to kill her husband, that it was just something she did out of anger, and ended out not how she intended
 it to.]]> 2020-12-02 14:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979955842 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956081 I think Mary's husband is to blame just because it sounded like he was leaving her especially in these hard times when she is pregnant! In the beginning, I do not think her plan was to kill her husband but once he told her the news and he was going out, she lost it. Her actions were justified as her anger came out from hitting him with the lamb leg.]]> 2020-12-02 14:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956081 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956453 Mary is not to blame because she did nothing wrong in the relationship, it was her husband who took her for granted and pushed her over the edge. I do not think Mary intentionally meant to kill her husband because when she came back from the store, she started crying and she was not acting. Her actions were not warranted. She did go to jail for her crime or actions. ]]> 2020-12-02 14:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956453 I think that her husband was definitely part of the reason of her killing him. But there is a little suspicion that she was mean to kill him because the way he treated her was building up in her and she couldn't take it anymore and she saw a way to finally get rid of that pain. https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956976 2020-12-02 14:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979956976 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979957697  I think that Mary's husband deserved his death because he was  mistreating his wife, and was planning on leaving her while she is pregnant with his child. I think that Mary did not want to hurt her husband I think she was just angry and in shook, so she thought it was her only option. ]]> 2020-12-02 14:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/ktbt8xd0kybxq2sb/wish/979957697 Although the point of view was not told from Mary's perspective, the narrator described all of her thoughts and intentions.
