How did Dahl use Mary's THOUGHTS to characterize her

English
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mary is carefully characterized from the opening lines of "Lamb to the Slaughter" as a woman whose entire life revolves around her husband. Even before her name is mentioned, it is clear that she has made the room warm and cozy and set out drinks and glasses in anticipation of his return. The first action she performs is to glance at the clock. Although Dahl says that she does this "without anxiety," his description makes it evident that she is waiting for the really important part of her day to begin. At a certain time, she begins to listen for the sounds of his car arriving. The rest of her calm, quiet existence is merely a preparation for the time she spends with Patrick.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

B. In the introduction paragraph

Explanation:

A thesis statement focuses your ideas into <em>one or two sentences</em>. It should present the topic of your paper and also make a comment about your position in relation to the topic. Your thesis statement should tell your reader what the paper is about and also help guide your writing and keep your argument focused. For example, with an informative essay, you should compose an informative thesis (rather than argumentative). You want to declare your intentions in this essay and guide the reader to the conclusion that you reach. A persuasive thesis usually contains an opinion and the reason why your opinion is true.

Is it legal for a man to marry his widows sister?
Bas_tet [7]
Well, <span>if a man has a widow then he must be dead, so there isn't really too much of a legal issue. However, you could argue that it's possible for a man to marry his widow's sister. Imagine a man marrying a woman, separating from her, and then re-marrying his first wife's sister.</span>
