Mary Maloney is accused of murdering her husband with an unknown weapon for an unknown reason. Chief detective, Patrick Maloney was murdered last night at his own house, no suspects have been identified yet and the search for the murder weapon was futile. Apparently, the officer had come home exhausted from work and was waiting for his wife Mrs. Mary Maloney, who left to buy food across the street for their dinner. According to a statement, Mary arrives home from the grocery store to find her husband dead on the living room floor. Rumor has it none of the neighbors has witnessed the incident. But we as reporters think that there may be a couple of residents that have at least heard the unexplained commotion occurring at the Maloney residence.
Most Americans know John Wilkes Booth as the assassin of Abraham Lincoln- shot at a play at Ford’s Theater on April 14th, 1865. However, the names of the conspirators that surrounded Wilkes Booth are relatively unknown, especially that of Mary Surratt. Mary Surratt, a mother and boardinghouse proprietor, was arrested and tried for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln along with her son, John Surratt. Pleas from her family, lawyer, and fellow conspirators did not allow her to escape her fate, and she was hanged for her crimes on July 7th, 1865. Even from the scaffold, Lewis Powell, another conspirator condemned to die, cried, “Mrs. Surratt is innocent. She doesn't deserve to die with the rest of us.” So who was this woman, and most importantly, what role did she really play in the assassination of the President of the United States? Was she simply blindly aiding her son and thus innocent, as claimed by Lewis Powell, or did she have a more involved role in the plot? Mary Surratt opened up her home to conspirators and ended up paying the price for her decision.
After reading ‘The Murder of Helen Jewett” it gave me insight on how crime in New York City was in the 1830’s and another view on how life for men and women differed. The book starts off talking about Dorcas Doyen famously known as Helen Jewett and how she was highly thought of but then the news comes out of nowhere with several stories about her past some twisted to make her seem as bad as a prostitute who has bounced around a few times could be seen. But her actual story was that she was born in 1814 in Temple, Maine to a regular working family. She lost both of her parents at a young age her mother died when she was at the early ages of her life and he father who was an alcoholic died shortly after her mother. She was put in a home, orphaned

With Mary Daly we discover that in the Christian faith and many other religions, we portray God as male. This shared belief according to Daly is stated to be one of the leading causes of male dominance; also called “feminism, where women are seen as the second sex”. Here we will be breaking down Daly’s arguments and try to understand her ways of possibly fixing this problem. In Daly’s book we notice three main aspects that serve as the root of the majority of her claims. The first one is god as a verb rather than a noun, this concept address how by saying god is only a noun we are limiting the power of him. The second point is god is male and male is god, this part of her book talks about how males have been cast as the superior gender thanks
Mrs.Maloney was very aware of her husband’s actions and his daily routines. I feel like that’s what helped her cover up the murder so easily and smoothly. For example “She heard the tires on the grave outside, and the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window” (Dahl 1). This shows how much she watched her husband and how much she praised his presence. Dahl had pointed out a numerous amount of things Mrs.Jones heard, and what it sounds like is Mrs.Jones been waiting
.... Maloney would leave to be with the other women. This thought though, became a reality for Mary Maloney. Mary Maloney has testified to happening to “stumble across” a will, which mentioned Mary Maloney receiving three quarters of Patrick’s fortune if he were to pass away. Being the wife a detective, Mary Maloney new how to plot a scene. First she would murder Patrick, receive his fortune to care for the unborn child, never have to face him again after he said to her face that he loved another women and had been having affairs with her. Secondly, she would need to dispose of the murder weapon secretly, and create an alibi that would testify for Ms. Maloney. Thirdly, pretend that it was all a dream and that it never happened. Sadly, it was an incredibly easy task for a clever woman such as herself. How is it that money is what shapes our world but also destroys it?
In Roald Dahl’s short story “Lamb to the Slaughter”, Mary Maloney is a cold-blooded killer. While using the excuse to make dinner, Mary Maloney used the frozen leg of lamb to brutally beat Patrick (her husband) to death. She had brought up the lamb from the cellar and had then swung it across the back of Patrick’s head, “She might just as well have hit him with a steel club…Then he crashed to the carpet” (Dahl 13). Mary had outright killed her husband in cold-blood, due to his proposed divorce. Thereafter, Mary Maloney was very smart and she knew how the detectives would find the murderer so she made an alibi. Her alibi was her grocer (Sam) that she personally knows very well, she even told herself to, “Keep things absolutely natural and there’ll
On September 7, 1953 at around 5 o’ clock in the evening Patrick Maloney was murdered in his residence by his wife Mary Maloney. She seems to have attacked the back of his head with something when he seemed unaware of things. Possible weapons she could have used is a big scanner or a heavy vase. Based on the evidence, Mary Maloney is charged with second degree murder for she knew what she was doing.
In “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson,” Mary Rowlandson, a Puritan mother from Lancaster, Massachusetts, recounts the invasion of her town by Indians in 1676 during “King Philip’s War,” when the Indians attempted to regain their tribal lands. She describes the period of time where she is held under captivity by the Indians, and the dire circumstances under which she lives. During these terrible weeks, Mary Rowlandson deals with the death of her youngest child, the absence of her Christian family and friends, the terrible conditions that she must survive, and her struggle to maintain her faith in God. She also learns how to cope with the Indians amongst whom she lives, which causes her attitude towards them to undergo several changes. At first, she is utterly appalled by their lifestyle and actions, but as time passes she grows dependent upon them, and by the end of her captivity, she almost admires their ability to survive the harshest times with a very minimal amount of possessions and resources. Despite her growing awe of the Indian lifestyle, her attitude towards them always maintains a view that they are the “enemy.”
Furthermore, as the police officers come in to investigate, she starts weeping and acts miserable, despite the fact she ferociously murdered her own husband. Mary Maloney comprehensively executes a plan which leads the police officers thinking it is absurd that she committed the murder. Moreover, Mary Maloney goes to such an extent that she victuals the police officers the leg of the lamb, which she used to ruthlessly murder her husband, therefore, causing there to be no evidence of her actions. Mary Maloney's cunning trait allows her to successfully get away with the murder she had committed by utilizing her cleverness to bamboozle the police officers while playing it off innocent very slyly. Finally, as Mary Maloney executes her plan, she proves she is a valiant woman because of the abundant lies she tells the police, which could lead her to receive several felonies. To successfully execute her plan Mary Maloney acts to be surprised when she finds her husband died, "Quick! Come Quick! Patrick's dead!" (Dahl 15), she cries to a police officer. Here, Mary Maloney being a valiant woman becomes quite ostensible. This goes to show how Mary Maloney takes a tremendous risk by endeavoring to cover up evidence and making plausible stories of her whereabouts to avoid receiving
She was so used to her everyday life, that this change scared her. Her being scared in partly justified for it turns out that Patrick is leaving her which quickly escalates her emotional state to the extreme of “puzzled horror” (Dahl 2). This eventually leads to her denial of the entire conversation when she enter a state of essentially no emotion. A detachment from her surroundings. Mary Maloney entered this state for she did not want him to leave her. When it was entered, “she did everything without thinking” feeling only coldness (Dahl 2). While in this phase, she kills her husband Patrick which ultimately leads to the realization of the possible repercussions. This realization guides her into composing and preparing herself to escape punishment for her crime. She turns to feeling oddly calm as she plans her alibi by going to the grocer and cooks the leg of lamb (that she hit her husband with to kill him). She acts like everything is normal at the grocer and acts distraught and unknowing to her husband's demise in when the cops arrive. Her act continues for the rest of the story as Mary proceeds with her
The neighbors alleged that they saw an unknown man entering her residence the day of the
In Mansfield Park, Jane Austen presents her readers with a dilemma: Fanny Price is the heroine of the story, but lacks the qualities Jane Austen usually presents in her protagonists, while Mary Crawford, the antihero, has these qualities. Mary is active, effective, and witty, much like Austen’s heroines Emma Woodhouse and Elizabeth Bennet. Contrasting this is Fanny, who is timid, complacent, and dull. Austen gives Mary passages of quick, sharp, even occasionally shocking, dialogue, while Fanny often does not speak for pages at a time. When she does, her speeches are typically banal and forgettable. In Mansfield Park, Austen largely rests Fanny’s standing as protagonist on the fact that Fanny adheres to the moral standards of Austen’s era. Mary Crawford makes a more satisfying and appealing heroine but due to her modern-era sensibility and uncertain moral fiber, she cannot fulfill this role.
The Murders in the Rue Morgue begins with “propositions” (Poe 2) to help the reader follow the reading through the use of critical thinking like that of a chess or card player. The chess player must wait and contemplate each move of another player, while the card player is more prone to memory perception. Poe then introduces his acquaintance Dupin and expounds on his abilities. Then “Extraordinary Murders” (5) begins the sequence of the detective like story. The murders were written about in the local paper and giving no clue, leaving the mystery unanswered. The next day many testimonial references were given in the paper and their account of the murders exposed, still without any evidential clues. The evening paper reveal the police have no way of solving the crime, but arrest Le Bon simply because he was the last individual to see the murdered alive. Dupin’s “peculiar analytical ability” (3) begins to kick in and he begins to belittle the ability of the investigators and plans an “examination” (9). After receiving permission, Dupin and Poe (or the narrator as such) went to the Rue Morgue. They carefully scoured the neighborhood and the outdoor area before entering the house and room where the murders took place. Dupin was very intense and refrained from speaking for several hours contemplating on all he had seen. Then Dupin spoke and completely expounded his analysis of the murders, the means of entrance and exit, and the ability that it would take to complete what had been done. When he centered in on the agility, strength, ferocity and lack of motive (14), Dupin revealed the hair he found revealing the intruder and murderer. To draw the orangutan’s owner to him, Dupin posted an announcement in the news paper. ...
