¶ … Moral Lesson
When I was just getting into my teenage years -- I was 13 going on 14 -- I was getting to the point where I had a lot of opinions about my parents, and some of them were not very kind. But I believed I had justification for the opinions I held about them and their response to me. To explain further, my mom and dad made me go to church, they made me go to boring church youth group meetings, they made me go to this strict fundamentalist church camp every summer, and wouldn't let me hang out with some of my best friends.
Every new friend I brought home from school to play ball in my back yard, or listen to music up in my room (which I shared with a sibling) they wanted to meet, and I had no problem with that. But after the friend would leave and go home, my parents would grill me: "Do his parents smoke cigarettes? Do they drink alcohol? What do his parents drink -- beer? Cocktails? Straight liquor?

At church camp, my camp director was the pastor in our church and a friend of my dad's. He always told my parents how I behaved at camp, like a little report card. Granted, I did sneak out of the tent sometimes. Of course the camp counselor remembered some of the little problems I caused and made sure to report them to my folks. If the report was bad enough, I got punished.
This is leading up to a time in the fall one year when I was really getting upset with my parents. I was avoiding talking to them after school, though I kept up my grades…

This is the perfect way to end this poem. The ending is in fact effective and consistent. The entire time, the duke speaks about how it was to have his wife besides him and how much he did not agree with her behavior. He then makes an insinuation that it was him in fact that had her killed. The ending leaves the reader in a sort of shock. The lines,
