Mary Malone's character is well-described through direct characterization all throughout the story Lamb to the Slaughter.. This direct characterization occurs each time the author describes Mary physically and in detail. An example of direct characterization is.
State Fossil: Basilosaurus cetoides This fossil whale lived in the Gulf of Mexico, which during the Eocene (~ 50-40 million years ago) extended over much of the Gulf Coast region. The first Basilosaurus fossils were found along the bluffs of the Ouachita River in Alabama in 1832.
But this particular fossil, found in the Afar region of Ethiopia and temporarily named LD 350-1, appears to be a new type of Homo that falls right between Lucy and Homo habilis. The fossilâs slim molars and proportionate jaw are hallmarks of habilis, for instance, but its primitive chin looks a lot more like Lucyâs.
