Burge McCall

Mr. McCall was a short, heavy - set man with a loud voice. He put a(מיותר) grease on his hair and prefume on his handkerchief. In addition, he had a habit of sucking his teeth with his tongue and making a peculiar sound(too many insignificant details). Mrs. 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. No one knew why Mrs. McCall married Mr. McCall. Some said she married him to get away of the Santa Fe railroad engines.

The couple had a bad marrige in which Mr. McCall used to call his wife names and generaly be very stingy with her. Mrs. McCall, on the other hand, did not respond to his name calling that, in turn lead Mr. McCall to slap her across the face. This slap was the turning point of the plot. Mrs. McCall's reaction was calling her husband "a big rat", telling him he would regret it some day. Later on, Mrs. McCall acquired rat poison in order to kill "a big rat". After Sled the seller told Mr. McCall about his wife and the rat poison, Mr. McCall changed his behavior and started to be kind to his wife(Explain why).

In conclusion, these events lead to a happier relationship in which Mr. McCall only(מיותר) spoke nicely to her, taking(gr. - took) her to (the)movies and (to) picnics etc(מיותר). In my opinion, this relationship was strange from the beginning and very unclear. While reading the story I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen but i was extremely surprised to read the ending. I believe Mrs. McCall was very smart and crafty by causing her husband to change his behavior with nothing more than an illusion(what illusion, please explain more clearly).

It's good, but some of your statements need further clarification.
