\u00a0<\/p>\n

My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any kuch at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, dogs, and noise. I like my sister Consrtance, and Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita phalliods, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last time I glanced at the library books on the kitchen shelf they were more than five months overdue, and I wondered whether I wuold have chosen differently f I had known that these were the last books, the ones which would stand forever on our kitchen shelf. We rarely moved things;the Blackwoods were never much of a family for restelessness and stirring. We dealt with the small surface transient objects, the books and the flowers ad the spoond, but underneth we had always a solid foundation of stable possessions. We always put things back where they belonged. We dusted and swept under tables and chairs and beds and pictures and rugs and lamps, but we left them where they were; the tortoise-shell toilet set\u00a0 on our mother\u2019s dressing table was never off place by so much as a fraction of an inch. Blacwoods had always lived in our house and kept their thigs in order; as soon as a new Blackwood wife moved in, a place was found for her belongings, and so our house was built up with layers and Blackwood property weighting it and keeping it steady against the world.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/p>\n

The story contains a brief story about Mary Katherine, known as Merricat who lives with her sister Constance in a family state and also with her uncle Julian, and she protects the sister from the villagers\u2019 hostility who accuses her with murder and they stay alienated until when Charles came but Merricat sensed danger (Worley 10). The black story emerges when the Blackwood family succumbed to arsenic poisoning during dinner and Constance was associated with the murder.<\/p>\n

Thesis statement: Death can be seen as an impending doom along with the sense of foreboding as seen in the book we have always lived in the castle.<\/p>\n

Topic sentences: The entire village can be seen as a style, a time, and a piece as the villagers seemed to rely and feed on the ugliness in it since anything good that was planned lost its glory fast hence the black woods was the only appropriate origin of the villagers. Merricat\u2019s family was isolated from the black wood villagers and Merricat and Constance they were afraid of associating with other children due to the impending doom which had occurred (Sluis 6). After the death of Merricat\u2019s family, Charles Merricat\u2019s cousin as the only family heir intended to succeed the family fortune and mansion which caused merricat to use her magic to cause a fire in the entire homestead to protect her existence where the chief suggested a satanic ritual to be conducted.<\/p>\n
