Lamb To Slaughter

By: Roald Dahl

page length:12 

Plot: 

• Revenge
• Murder 
• Food

Characters: 

• The characterisation while in this story was fine, it was not great; however as a short story they had me intrigued.
• Lack of emotions felt towards the characters however they were good examples of why not to trust the quiet and civilized humans.

General:

• This was a fun short story, I may read it in the future although sadly it is not sold separately from the anthology called Skin anywhere.
• The story was a witty and gruesome tale from an author I expected none of that from! 

Rating: 3 stars

Rip Van Winkle

By: Washington Irving

Page Count: 31

Plot: 

• Magical realism
• Dutchmen 
• Relatable themes
• Time 
• Change 
• Outcasts

Characters: 

• I found these characters to be brutally truthful and fitting of the tone that Irving was hitting at about the way the way the world changes.
• Rip:
• Naive 
• Blissful 
• Caring for everyone involved in his life
• Loyal

General:

• This story borders along the fantastical while still enveloping the social commentary and satire I like so much with Classical literature.
• This would be best listened to as an audible audiobook, because the period English really was bothering me
