    First, Mary Maloney had killed her husband because he wanted to divorce. In anger Mary got a leg of lamb from the freezer and after hearing the news of wanting a divorce, Mary acted fast with disapproval ,and so” she swung the leg of lamb high and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head”(Dahl 3).This proves that Mary defeated her demons and had not wanted a divorce so she took matters into her own hands.Second after killing her husband should found a successful and creative way to hide the crime. after killing her husband she decided to cook the leg of lamb so she “... placed it in a pan and turned on the oven on high and shoved it inside.”(Dahl 4) What's my reason because Mary killed her husband and couldn't deal with the fact that she was going to jail for those acts, so she covered up the crime and successfully defeated her demon.

    I wish as we grew older I could have done more for Pam, after all she did nice things out of the blue for us now and then. Age eleven she sent me a watch on my birthday through the mail. Our relationship was not always kind to each other, she had a way with making you feel worthless as our father did to us. Of course, we totally know how that developed, I believe that is how her murder came about, she had a way with language that could slice right through your soul or I should say, what is left of one’s psyche. Terry’s past I am sure was not kind, with the loss of his mother and a family that should have never accepted him, and he may have been alive…

    In sixth grade I was suspended for fighting with another student, and this is what sparked a period of personal growth for me. After being suspended my parents and counselors really cracked down on my behavior and actions toward others.

Back then I did not have many friends that I was close with and would hang out with, but now I have a bunch of friends I would talk with daily and would hang out with outside of school. I regret how I had acted before I had been suspended.…
