When I was a girl, years ago, I lived in the back woods and there the number of votes cast at each election depended entirely up

on the size of the ballot box. We had what was known as the old-tissue ballots and the man who got the most tissue in was the man elected. Now the best part of our community was very much disturbed by this method, and they did not know what to do in order to get a ballot both safe and secret; but they heard that over in Australia, where the women voted, they had a ballot which was both safe and secret, so we went over there and we got the Australian ballot and we brought it here.​

Answer:

It is in the last sentence (albeit very long).

Explanation:

This is becasue an anecdote is supposed to be a hilarious and weird plot or story, right? And if you see carefully, taking away somebody else's ballot in order to make it safer is quite out of the ordinary.

Hope this helps. ;)

LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER; COMMONLIT
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Mary's pregnancy makes it all the more shocking that her husband is planning to leave her. She is six months pregnant—very far along for him to decide to bail out of the marriage. Further, the coldness with which her husband delivers the news must also be shocking. He says to her:

But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job. She loved her husband up until this point, looking forward to his coming home from work as her "blissful" time. She liked being with him and even enjoyed the way he sat in his chair.

When she finds out he is divorcing her, her initial response is disbelief and denial. She then kills him quickly with the frozen lamb, not even thinking about what she is doing until after he is dead.

Her knowledge of having a child to protect and her desire that it not be orphaned then influences Mary to cover up her crime.

Explanation:hope this helps

Use the description of the modern fiction series The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan to complete the activity.

Rick Riordan's books follow a similar format compared to the Odyssey. First, there is one or more hero(s), who has to complete tasks or finish trials. These books have mythical creatures and elements, adding to the challenges. When this is complete, they can go home, wherever that may be for them.
