Hope you liked that story today. Mary Maloney is definitely an old school type of woman. She did everything for her husband including waiting on him hand and foot. She clearly loves the man, but it didn't take too long for you perceptive readers to notice that something was amiss. What's up with the husband? What's bugging him so much? It seems like we have set the scene for a big announcement. What will he say? What will she do when she finds out? How good a job did Roald Dahl do creating suspense?
We also discussed static and dynamic characters today. I want you to remember that static characters don't change and dynamic characters do change. You could use that information when reading your fiction books. Follow how your protagonist changes over the course of the novel and then discuss that change when you present his/her three traits.
We'll finish up that story and do a little something with irony tomorrow.
See you soon.
