Where do our ideas come from?

I think that our ideas come from visualization, because, for example when we looked at birds and thought, 'Hey, why can't we do that?', and probably, when we got on horses and rode fast we thought, 'Hey, why can't we go really fast?', but planes were probably invented after cars because cars had engines, and so did planes, but just stronger engines.

Favorite Short Story from our unit

My favorite short story was "Lamb to the slaughter", because of the interesting plot line, including mystery and quite an exciting climax. I found that the unexpected murder of Patrick Maloney was very intense, because I would never have accused someone's own wife of killing them if I had known them for years! I also enjoyed making a CSI investigation script to find out who killed Mr. Maloney. I worked together with Joonatan on the CSI investigation, but unluckily we did not perform. I think that the story could have been more exciting, but as far as the stories we have read in this unit, "Lamb to the Slaughter" is definitely the most interesting and exciting.
