Question 2

2.

Write: “The Landlady” won the 1960 Edgar Award for best short mystery story. Yet at the end of Dahl’s tale, Billy’s fate is merely implied, and a larger mystery remains. In a thorough CER paragraph (or 2), analyze the clues Dahl provides throughout the story to reveal the presumed fate of Billy Weaver. Focus on what you think are the three or four most important details as you connect the dots. Use evidence from the story.
