Blog 4: Lamb to the Slaughter

i thought the end of the story was kind of funny in a messed up way. it was ironic that the detectives new that the weapon has to be somewhere in the house, and that it is probably right in front of their noses, while they are eating the lamb. the detectives were very ignorant, it was funny. They didn't suspect that she could kill him.
 she got away with the crime very easily. she would not be able to get away with this now. technology has advanced and they would have been able to figure it out. women were looked at as fragile then, they would never suspect that they committed a crime, now women are considered relatively equal to men, and are thought of capable to commit a crime. this situation would be handled differently now.

Blog 3: GAC & Cage Reading

the reading was very interesting. It was sad to read about the sister who was forced to whip her sister, but it was good that she did so she could do it genteelly instead of a Nazi doing it aggressively. I found it interesting and inspiring how extravagant the little pencil seemed to them. It was nice to see that they cared about the well being of the girls when they summoned one to be a doctor. i thought it was very inspirational when they kept trying to find Riva a doctor. it was sad to hear how Riva was floundering about to get to the doctor. It made me sick hat the normal people who weren't Nazis refused to give her medical help. I was really happy when they finally found one.
