"Killing Chickens"

Three specific details that seem effective
  • "She fights me, struggling to be free of my weight, my gloved hands, my need to kill her."
  • "I clamp my hand over her beak and give her head a hard twist."
  • "My anger and fear center like a tornado on having to kill this hen." 
The main idea of this article is that she shows her anger and fear from the divorce on the chickens.
              I see how they used the chickens throughout the whole story to describe her anger and fear. They use a lot of descriptive words so this caught my eyes and made me want to read more.  The story shows lots of emotion on how the mother and kids feel. Another thing that I noticed that she’s angry and afraid to tell her children about the divorce she's going to have from her husband.
