"Thank you Ma'am"
Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person. “The woman was sitting on the day-bed..... you might run that comb through your hair so you look presentable.” Pg 3 This shows Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person because in this passage Luella talks about things she has done which she is not proud of and would not tell anyone. What he is learning here is that everybody wants some thing they cannot get, but you don’t have to commit a crime to get what you want. This quote also shows Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person because Luella and Roger know better than they did before and now Luella is teaching/telling Roger things that he did not know before he made the mistake but learns after which could make him a better person. “When they were finished eating she got up and said...... And he never saw her again.” Pg 4 There is Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person here because Luella really believes he has learned from his mistakes Luella gives him $10 to go buy the shoes he was gonna buy with the money he stole. But he Failed that plan and got taken by Luella who taught him not only about right from wrong but about how he used to be like her as a child. This statement Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person is not only in the story Thank you Ma’am.
Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person.This news report on the BBC newsbeat page has the same Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person as this news story. Mainly this news story is about a man who met back up with a person who punch him in the face. This news story is about that Criminals should meet the victims of there crimes. “ "I got the impression that he was not really engaging in the process, that he was doing it as a means of not having to go to court, he admitted. He seemed very insincere. He didn't really make eye contact.” When Adam was told that the criminal that punch him wanted to see him he was hesitant but he accepted and when he got there the criminal said sorry but Adam thought it was insincere and there was no eye contact so he was not happy. Also the criminal was not learning from his mistakes until the second time they met. “The guy that walked into the room was a completely different guy than the guy that had hit me.He had higher self-esteem and he seemed to be really embarrassed by the fact that he had to do all of this, that he had hit me.You could tell that he was actually a really good guy.” From this after he was in jail for a longer amount of time he did actually learn from his mistakes that it was wrong and made a sincere apology to Adam and when Adam saw it was true and sincere he felt that he truly meant it and made him fell good.
These two sources are similar with my theme statement Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person because Luella teaches Roger and makes him a better person a also Adam meets up with his criminal and fix things up with him that patches up their conflicts. With Luella teaching Roger about bad things she did and how they can relate to each other and how Adams Criminal spent time in jail and he thought about what he did and said sorry to Adam. The sources tell about human behavior that if you really mean something or believe something strongly then if it is good it will make you a better person. Also by learning from your mistakes as any type of human you will become a better person.

August 16 2010, Theme Notebook 1, There are two sides to Justice
There are two sides to Justice is a dominant theme in Roald Dahls short story "Lamb to the Slaughter."There are two sides to Justice is the dominant theme because in this story Mary Maloney is in her own little world of serving her husband and cleaning her home."The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight-hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her, two tall glasses soda water, whiskey. Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket." Pg 1. But then all of that gets ruined by her husband telling her that he is leaving her pregnant breaking her whole little world and driving her mad. "And he told her. It didn't take long, four or five minutes at most, and she sat very still through it all, watching him with a kind of dazed horror as he went further and further away from her with each word."Pg 3. So when she kills her husband it shocks all of us even her that she killed her husband. But the two sides of justice comes in was it fair that she killed her husband or should she have just lived her life the way her husband thought she would. So with the two sides of Justice she thinks it is alright for her to kill her husband but to everyone else she should be punished.
There are two sides to Justice. I found this story on the BBC website. The main parts of this story is that two boys don't have a gift for there housing folks so they go get one when then they are accused of being buglers so the people are scared so they attack the two boys very violently. There are two sides to Justice is this story because all the people in the street/neighborhood are accusing falsely of a crime the boys did not commit. One side of the Justice is the boys side. In this passage the people should have just call the police at the most or just ask them. The secound side is the peoples side they thought it was alright just because they are new and unfamiliar they should be aloud to be falsely accused and attacked. But the way it went was by the numbers of people there. Seriously should you trust someone you know or two random people.
Justice means: Judgment of a person or persons to administer a justice to the community. And in both stories this has happened to either the boys or Patrick Maloney. In the BBC story the community cast a judgment on the two boys as Mary Maloney cast her own judgment to kill her husband think justly it was far for here to kill him and not fair for him to live a happy life when her life was ripped apart by her husbands bad choice of action and of words making her even angrier at him.
