Lyric poems often express intense feelings which two pairs of lines in lift every voice and sing express hope

"facing the rising sun of our new day begun

let us march on till victory is won.",

because the rising sun is a symbol of hope.

Roald Dahl does not give an exact time and place for his short story "Lamb of Slaughter." In this short story, Mary Maloney takes a frozen lamb's leg and hits her husband with it over the head, which kills him. She goes to the grocery store for an alibi, then calls the police after returning home. As they are analyzing the crime scene, she invites them to stay for dinner, where she serves the murder weapon. Although most of the action does occur in the Maloney household, we are not sure where the Maloney's reside. Dahl likely left the setting unclear so the story is more universal for this audience to relate to, no matter where they are from. This short story was published in America in the 1950s, so the setting is likely around that time.
