Burge McCall - correction

Burge McCall

The relationship between Burge and his wife, Venita has changed a lot throughout the story. At the beginning of the story they hated each other, however, at the end of the story they loved each other. What has caused this change? In my composition, I am going to describe their relationship and what has brought this change.

Venita McCall was a tall, thin woman with black hair and big black eyes. She always wore her hair parted in the middle and smoothed down on each side. She was a quiet woman who didn't have many friends. In addition, she was an introvert person who didn't talk much. On the other hand, Burge McCall was a short heavy man with a loud voice. He thought he was a lady killer and was married twice. Burge and Venita hated each other in the beginning and people said Venita married him to run away from the noise of the Santa Fe railroad engines. Burge McCall was a chief clerk and earned a good salary, but he was very stingy with his wife because he liked to spend it on himself and other women. In addition, he called his wife bad names, but she didn't answer. She only looked at him in a way that made him even angrier. One day he even slapped her on her face and she called him "a dirty rat".

Venita asked the chemist to tell her husband she bought a pound of rat poison and Burge McCall started to treat her nicely because he was scared she would poison him.For example, he didn't get drunk because he was scared he would be poisoned by her while he was drunk. Moreover, he started to take her out to restaurants, to movies, to picnics and he spoke nicely to her because he didn't want to upset her. As a result, Venita started to like him and was gentle and warm to him, a thing that has improved their relationship and soon they were in love with each other. One day, Burge looked at his wife and he saw that she was smiling at him and called her "honey", which shows they really loved each other. Unfortunately, Burge died and Venita shed tears in his funeral.

To conclude, as far as I see, Venita and Burge McCall's realtionship has changed dramatically during their marriage because of Venita's smart decision to make her husband know she had bought rat poison. Venita deliberately told the chemist to tell her husband she had bought rat poison, a thing that scared Burge. As a result, he started to treat her nicely and it eventually improved their relationship.
