Seventeen year old boy found dead by poison on his trip to London, England. Billy Weaver (the boy in the picture in the top right) was found dead yesterday morning at a local “Bed & Breakfast” at 7:45 a.m. As we entered the establishment we had found that his fingerprints were on a teacup that the owner of the business had given him to drink. By the looks of things from his personal belongings, he had just arrived in London that day and was probably looking for somewhere to stay for the night while he was on his tour. Billy’s body was found by a witness taking her daily stroll down the streets, as she does every morning. She had noticed that there was a door cracked open from the “Bed & Breakfast” and walked up to close it. Upon closing it

    Billy learned his philosophy of death from the Tralfamadorians, the aliens who abducted him. They believed that time was virtually nonexistent, so when you die, they were only deceased at that moment and alive all the others. Billy has traveled in time all throughout his life, so he has seen a lot of death; The deaths of many American and Russian soldiers in the train and slaughterhouse, the death of his wife; dozens of others in a plane crash, and his own death. Everything that Billy saw was death, so he quickly became used to it to the point where it didn’t matter much to him. He awaited his death; at his speech he would say “hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye.” to tell his audience and “adoring fans” that he would never truly leave, that when he would be shot on the scene they should just let it occur, because they would always remember him, he would never truly leave. Whenever Billy saw death or spoke of it, he would just say “so it goes.” Billy used this phrase to help cope with the loss of someone and move on, unlike Tim who spent countless hours dreaming and crying over someone’s death. Billy also knew when a death would occur so it never came as a shock to him. Overall Billy became numb to all the death he saw each and everyday that he had no other choice but to accept it, and he was happier that

  • Foreshadowing In The Landlady

    It is clear that the author, Roald Dahl, utilizes a variety of literary devices in order to create an element of suspense in the text, “The Landlady.” An example of this would be Dahl’s use of foreshadowing in the text. The Landlady states in the text, “But my dear boy, he never left. He’s still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They’re on the fourth floor, both of them together” (Dahl 5). It is evident how this would contribute to the component of suspense for the reader. The use of foreshadowing throughout “The Landlady” is meant to hint towards Billy’s impending doom, and thus would compel readers to anticipate Billy’s fate, creating suspense. Foreshadowing contributes a great deal to the dark humor/mysterious aspect of Dahl’s style of writing.
