Cyanides

When it comes to food in today's day and age it correlates with being convenient, fast, and budgeting because people are usually on the go.

Many Stories show various literary elements in their text to add more detail to and context to the plot. “The Landlady” and ‘The Monkey’s Paw” is a perfect example that displays these elements. In “The Landlady”, A businessman named Billy Weaver looks for a place to stay. He comes across a bed and breakfast. Little does he know the contents inside that building are unthinkable.

Jones led his cult of The People's Temple to mass suicide killing 900 of his followers. His followers drank a cyanide ¬laced punch to commit suicide.
