Sause for the goose Discussion
1. “Sauce for the goose” means the same as karma which is what happened. He
could also name the story „Watch your step“ because Loren died because he didn‘t see what was on the stairs, and both Olivia and Stephen both died because they walked in the freezer but the door closed. 2. Olivia killed Loren because Stephen made her do it and she was in love with
him. Stephen wanted to kill Olivia because he was never in love with her. He only wanted the money. Olivia tried to kill Stephan because Stephan tried to kill her, if she wouldn‘t kill him, he would kill her first. 3. They both died in the freezer in the basement. Stephan was trying to set up a
trap for Olivia, but the door closed, and it was impossible to open it from the inside. Olivia was trying to make her report credibly by walking inside, because she knew he was in there dead. I could not see this end coming so I find it shocking. 4. I feel sympathy for Loren because he did not do anything wrong. He just
wanted to make her wife feel good, but she was just trying to kill him all this time.

Usually the conditions are that you have to go and see a parole officer a couple of times a week and you can ´t leave town until some time.

A) What I like about this course is that you get the freedom you don’t get in
other courses. For me it is a new way of studying because I have never done it like this before. You have to organize yourself to be able to do all the assignments well, which I failed to do in the magazine assignment. I think I just learned more by failing to organize myself in that assignment. B) I liked the individual assignments more than the group work, because I
could do them on my way and make them like I wanted them to be. So I liked the webpage assignment.and leaflet assignment most. C) The short stories all had a wierd and a fun end and it was okay to read
read them. I did not know who Stephen King was, but it is quite amazing how many good books he has made.
