read four different short stories. Each of them included violence and death. I wasn’t expecting any of the violence at first‚ but after a couple of stories I saw the trend.

Shades of Racism Overt Racism Since Australia’s inception in 1788‚ racism has been ever-present; the basis of modern Australia was the controlled subjugation of the original Aboriginal people. This gross marginalisation culminated in the ‘stolen generation’; a process of eugenics in order to inter-breed half-caste aboriginals‚ assimilating them into European appearance.1 We need only look to the existence of the ‘White Australia’ policy‚ which essentially denied residency to non-Europeans immigrants

’Lamb to the Slaughter’ is a intriguing murder story set in the 1950’s America written by the well renowned children’s author Roald Dahl. The plot is threaded with irony‚ which injects it with dark humour.
