‘Lamb to the Slaughter’ Constructed Response
What did Mary Maloney fear most and how did it affect her actions?

Answer/Explanation:

Mary Meloney fear most about her unborn children, being alone as well as getting caught for murdering her husband and this shows how it affect her action by cover up the murder. Furthermore, If she was discovered she would face more consequences if she pleaded guilty. In paragraph 47, Mary thought what were the laws about murderer with unborn children and she didn’t want to try it either. She then practiced in front of the mirror so she knew what to do  along with  acting normal. In addition, she went to the grocer (Sam) and this allowed Mary to have an explanation in case she was considered suspect. In conclusion, Mary asked the police to eat the lamb leg so she can get rid of the murder weapon as well as suspect. Therefore you can conclude that Mary Maloney fear affected her action.

In "Lamb to the Slaughter," Mary Maloney's dread of losing her nice life with her husband and newborn child is what finally prompts her to assassinate her husband.

Throughout the narrative, Mary is portrayed as a loyal and obedient wife who is satisfied with her existence as a housewife and excitedly anticipates her husband's arrival home from work.

The term "animal slaughter" refers to the killing of animals, often domestic cattle. 80 billion land animals are said to be killed annually for food.

The majority of animals are killed for food, but some may also be killed for other purposes, such as for the purpose of harvesting fur,

because they are ill and unfit for eating, or because they are excess and needed to maintain a breeding stock.

Slaughter normally entails preliminary cutting, opening the main body cavities to remove the guts and offal, but often leaving the corpse intact.

Fellow members of the community, I am here today requesting your support for the construction of a senior citizens center. This presentation will demonstrate all the ways that the senior center will benefit the entire community. Although many residents might worry that such a project would inevitably increase property taxes, I’m here to assure you that we can acquire the necessary funding without resorting to a drastic tax hike.
Our community has a large population of citizens over the age of sixty-five. As citizens grow older, they have fewer opportunities to socialize. While many senior citizens are involved in activities such as church groups and volunteer organizations, others remain isolated from the community. Furthermore, those who do participate in these groups still lack the daily socialization they once enjoyed during their school and work years—many still yearn for the chance to interact with their peers every day. A senior citizens center affords older community member the opportunity for daily social interaction, allowing them to maintain healthy and vibrant relationships outside the home.
As most of you already know, our town’s senior citizens make up the majority of our volunteer work force. Senior citizens are the people we see at bake sales, blood drives, and food drives, doing all they can to help our community. They are the people you see operating the bingo stands at the annual firefighter’s carnival, and raking the leaves and mowing the grass at the little league fields. Giving our seniors a place to gather and socialize will honor their lifelong commitment to this community, and it’s the least we can do to thank them for their years of service.
Thankfully, we can complete this project with minimal investment and without raising property taxes. Several state and federal grants are available for this type of project. Additionally, our town has about $50,000 left over in the annual recreation budget. By using this surplus and applying for grants, we can complete this project without raising taxes. With a little work, we can easily make this dream into a reality.
The senior citizens center will give our parents and grandparents a home away from home. It will also bring new jobs to our community. The senior center will need registered nurses, program coordinators, and janitorial workers. This could provide unemployed citizens with new opportunities for work. So, in conclusion, I’m asking all of you to think about the positive ways that this project will benefit our community and show your support for this initiative in November.

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London

Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

The Case of the Missing Library Book

Mr. Berry, the librarian, had a reputation for being strict and for never making mistakes. He maintained complete order in the library and could tell immediately if a book was missing or misplaced. He did not say much. This struck fear into the students. They always said that Mr. Berry did not have to talk. When someone was careless with a book, the look on Mr. Berry’s face told that person everything he or she needed to know.
All of this contributed to making Tom feel terrible about losing the copy of Animal Farm that he had borrowed nearly four weeks earlier. It was as if the book had disappeared from the face of the earth. In fact, Tom had completely forgotten about the book until he received an overdue notice from Mr. Berry through the mail. Tom did not look forward to facing the librarian directly. When he left for school that morning, he felt as if he were going to his execution.
Tom’s fear increased with each tick of the clock. It was already fourth period by the time he talked himself into going to see Mr. Berry. As he walked to the library, his palms were sweating and he felt as though he had butterflies performing acrobatics in his stomach. When he walked through the doors, he saw that the library was deserted, except for Mr. Berry. Tom was happy that nobody would witness the embarrassing scene that was sure to erupt.
Upon seeing Tom, Mr. Berry said, "Oh Tom, I owe you an apology. I guess I made a mistake. I didn't realize that you had already returned Animal Farm." At first, Tom didn't know what to say, and then, much to his surprise, he found himself telling Mr. Berry that he hadn't returned the book, that he'd lost it, and that he'd looked all over for it but couldn't find it. Tom could not stop the words from coming out of his mouth.
When Tom finished, Mr. Berry smiled and said, "Well, somebody found it and returned it. That's the important thing. It's important to remember that everybody makes mistakes. I guess we both did in this case." Tom smiled too; he felt relieved. As he made his way back to class, he decided that he really liked Mr. Berry and that he would try to use the library more often.

Hi. Ok, so I'm applying to be a Belle (It's a community thing) and I have to write a paragraph about why I'm applying and why I'd like to be selected. For some context, the Belles are an organization that does charity work and like town functions and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm bad at giving reasons why I want to do something, so I'm kinda stuck. How do I appeal to the people reading it and how do I word it without making it sound like I'm listing why I should be accepted? Because that's not technically what they were asking.

Although there was always tension between the zoot-suiters and the sailors, the real trouble started the night of May 30, when a group of military men walked past a group of zoot-suiters in downtown Los Angeles.
