My Favourite Short Story From This Unit

"Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl wins in my case. I loved the suspense and how the author chooses carefully what the character does now and what his or her reaction is. I found it interesting how Mary Maloney starts of being calm and collected but when Patrick Maloney breaks the news to her she cracks. The mask she was wearing tears off and she attacks. Maybe this was all planned? Maybe it was reaction on instinct? But I loved how Dahl took us off guard and how the story actually made me think about what would happen? My favorite story no doubt is "Lamb to the Slaughter".
