Burge McCall

Burge McCall was a heavy weighted, short man with a loud voice.He was very stingy but only to his wife , and used grease on his hair.Venita McCall , most commonly known as Mrs. McCall, was a thin and tall woman with big black eyes and black hair. She never had much to say , always staring at Mr. McCall with a weird look without saying a thing.

At first, Mr. McCall hated his wife, he couldn't stand the way she was looking at him. He was used to his former wives who fought back when he called them names or irritatesthem. Two years and two months after they were married Mr. McCall slapped Mrs. McCall on the face. Mrs. McCall called him a "big rat" and from that day everything changed.

Several days later , Burge found out that his wife had bought a pound of rat poison in order to poison a "big rat".Mr. McCall always thought his wife was mysterious and didn't like the way she was looking at him but now he was terrified. He was afraid that his wife would try to poison him.From that point on, Burge changed his behavior and started to always please his wife and they were happily married ever since, until the day he died.

I believe that the most intelligent character of the story is Mrs. McCall , she uses her brain to get what she wants. She never says anything without a reason and she eventually get what she want. I liked to read how Mrs McCall "dealed" with her husband and treated him the way he deserved. She made her husband to live in paranoia thinking everywhere and always he could be poison by her.
