He decides to sit by the pool and he meets an old spanish man a young american sailor and a pretty english girl. He makes a bet that the american sailor cant light his lighter 10 times in a row if he does the spanish man gives him a new Cadilac and if his lighter doesn't light the old man chops his pinky off on his left hand and keeps it. Then come to fund out this old man is sick and he lied to the people saying it was his car, but really it was his wife's. The old man has collecte over 43 fingers in his life and on bets and lost alot of cars. The character of the old spanish man is very crazy, in his own word, sick kind of person. You can tell the old man likes to start trouble. The narrataor is a very observant in his surroundings. The american sailor is a very gullible man and doesnt know how to walk away. The english girl doesnt say much she just watches. The plot twist occures when the characters were in the hotel room and the old wife came in yelling at the old man callig him crazy then showed how he was crazy and how most her fungers were cut off too.

Hitler

           Before Adolf Hitler was born his mother had 3 children before him. They all died very young because they werent strong enough to survive illnesses. Aldolf's mother was very scared of the outcome of this baby during labor in fear that this baby might be small and weak also.  The baby came out looking small the father was so dissapointed, but the doctor told him that the baby is perfectly fine and nothin to worry about, and that it would grow up to be very strong. The mother's character showed a weak person in distress. The father's charcter shows somebody that doesn't care if its not what he wants. The doctor shows a man with great optimism. There was a plot twist when the mother said all her children died before and it made you wonder why and what going to happen to the next baby.

Leg of Lamb

A heart broken cop's wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of a lamb that they were going to eat for dinner. She covers up the murder by cooking the evidence and feeding it to the police. She kills the husband because he tells her some very bad news. As a reader you would not think that this woman would be capable of such a thing. Her character starts off as a sweet house wife then she turns into a sick killer that pulls off a murder with out getting caught. The plot twist changes when she walks up behind him and kills him with the frozen piece of meat. The text was just an example of how to get away with murder. The wife made it seem like somebody killed her husband while she was at the store, she even fooled the store clerk.  Rate - 5/5
