Old+Milon+PATmoran

Patrick Moran Mr. Swindells Pd. 8

In Old Milon, by Guy De Maupassant, Old Milon was a cunning old man. The Prussian soldiers thought that he was just a regular person because he always acted in silence. Nobody would have every expected that he could kill all sixteen men. When he killed the first soldier, he took the uniform and then put him in a coal bag and threw him into the pond behind his barn. He also pretended that he was hurt so that the soldiers would stop to help him. When they dismounted their horses, Old Milon killed them. When Old Milon was caught, he was offered the chance to live. He spat in the face of the Prussian and his family watched him get executed.
