a) what is missing from the dialogue in the story is the way patrick reacts and what tells mary. He dosen't really say much and i think he should say more so we can connect more to the way he was and his feelings in the story.



b) the symbolic of the title shows us basically what the story is about and the meaning i think is the lamb has something due to the death of a slaughter of something or someone.The meaning i think is that be careful what you do and say

c)the protaganist is mary and she changes from beggening to end by being really sweet and turning into an evil plotted murderer.

d)the central theme of "lamb of slaughter" is that you need to be careful and think about things before you do them , beacause you might regret them later in life , which is exactly whta mary did .


e) It connect to the real world beacuase when someone does something wrong , sometimes they get away with the things they do , when they shouldn't .
