The weard and freaky story of the Landlady

Roald Dahl has been the author of a really good story called The Landlady. The Landlady is a story were a guy called Billy goes to his first job in England and he decides to stay in a bed and breakfast. He wants to save money and the Landlady seems nice sow is the perfect place for staying and save money. At the first seems to be the perfect place because it have eggs for breakfast and he is the only person how is staying in the bed and breakfast apart for the Landlady when everything starts to seem weird is when the Landlady offers him a cup of tea and Billy see on the guest register some names that seemed familiar to him but he couldn’t remember where he hear them. Then the Landlady starts taking and makes the Landlady seemed more weird in every sentence she finish like when she said that she preserve their pets and when see said that Billy has the perfect age but the most weird of all is when see said that the people in the guest register are still there and we infer they are also perceive and that she is going to preserve Billy too.
 

 "He was wearing a new navy- blue overcoat, a new brown trilby hat, and a new brown suit, and he was feeling fine."(Dahl pg.1)
 








In this quote Roald Dahl is trying to say that Billy was a normal person trying to find a job. Billy was trying to look elegant for his first job and that he tried to be well prepared and organize. Also is trying to say that with all of this things he was feeling fine like if he like to look elegant and prepared for his new job. It seems that he feels satisfaction of bean with an office out feat. But the most important thing is that it makes the reader to imagine how Billy look like. By saying all of there the author uses characterization of look for the reader to know more about of the character.



"But Billy knew that she was looking at him. Her body was half turned toward him, and he could feel her eyes resting on his face, watching him over the rim of her teacup"(Dahl pg.6)



This quote makes the reader infer that there is something on the tea or that the Landlady was concern that Billy drank the tea. As a reader using this quote we can feel the pressure that Billy felt on this moment. Is almost like in these moment you feel so connect to the story that you are able to scream, don't do it Billy!!!!
