Favourite Short Story From Our Unit

If I had to choose between "The Sniper", "Thank You Ma'am" and "Lamb to the Slaughter"I would have to choose "Lamb to the Slaughter". I say this because the suspense really catches my attention. At the beginning, I will admit, it came to be a little boring because it had about 3 or 4 paragraphs on how she looked and her baby. Yes, it was a good introduction but it didn't exactly grip me at the beginning. But I found it very interesting how she knew exactly what to do when she had killed her husband and how calculating and clever she was. In the beginning of the story she came across as a normal housewife but it was interesting to see how smart she really was.

Yeah, my favorite story was also the Lamb to the Slaughter because it leaves a twist in the story when the lamb Mary used to kill, was served as dinner to the same people that are trying to find the murderer

I love "Lamb To The Slaughter" too. I think the way that she's just the normal housewife then suddenly she's turn into this intelligent woman and smart. We have that opinion in common. :)
