This excerpt “Killing
Chickens” is about the author Meredith Hall who after facing the decision to
divorce her husband has to take over his job at the farm while she stays a
loving mother. The author uses great detail when talking about how she had to
kill the chickens like how they would fight for their lives. She told how one
of the chickens was her children’s favorite because it would let them hold it,
and how another one was her favorite because she had to take special care of it
as a baby, but she still had to kill them. I found this story disturbing at times and I felt bad for the author
because it’s not what she wanted to do, it’s what she needed to do to provide
for herself and children. Even though i've never had to kill chickens i can still relate to this story, she is sad but she will pull through.
