Short Story Summary

Looking at all three stories I have read either The sniper, Lamb To The Slaughter, or even Thank You Ma'am, My favorite story I would say would have to be Lamb To The Slaughter. Lamb To The Slaughter is written by a man named Roald Dahl. As we all know Roald Dahl is famous for his children books, but unfortunately this one is for tweens and above. This story captures alot of unthinkable consequences. Roald Dahl has written astory where it is a few pages long but not too many pages. Roald Dahl has written about the most perfect wife who kills the man of her dreams. Now People would think why it is so because Mary Maloney, The perfect wife, kills her husband, Patrick, because Patrick plans on leaving Mary Maloney. There is a mystery of why Patrick Maloney is Leaving Mary Maloney. The readers could suppose Patrick is leaving Mary for another woman or Patrick is leaving Mary because he feels Mary is too perfect for him and Mary also basks in Patricks manliness which means Patrick is not going with another woman but he wants to be on his own. Roald Dahl Perfectly states his theme for this story and it is that the person who is the man/woman of you dreams can betray you in such a short amount of time. Looking At all of the short stories I have read throughout my whole life I find that this story is my favorite short story.
