Lamb to the Slaughter

"Yes, this is one of my favorite short stories." We will read and discuss it today (Thursday, 17 February) in class. I waited until now to inform you of this because I did not want anyone to read it prior to class. You will have to write a 1 1/2 page reader response-beginning with a "quote' (character or narrator). You should also integrate at least three other quotes in the body of your response. Most of you have been doing well-unfortunately, others are not! This response will be due on Monday, 28 February. BUT THAT IS NOT ALL...
