On June 27, the citizens of a small town gather in the center of town to hold the annual lottery. The children who had recently ended school for the summer arrive first, the boys gathering stones into their pockets or into piles, and the girls gathering and talking among themselves. The men come, talking about crops, weather, and taxes. Next then the women, greeting each other, gossiping and eventually joining their husbands. Parents start calling their children to come join them and all the families stand and wait for the

With its quaint and picturesque introduction, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson paints a story of individuals who blindly and unquestionably follow tradition. The village lottery is an annual tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is a part of the villagers’ culture. It is a tradition in which all three hundred villagers; men, women and children, participate in. A list of all the names of the village families and their households is made, when their names are called, one by one they draw a slip of paper from a black worn out, falling apart wooden box. There are specific rules set in place of who should draw the slips of paper from the black

On the morning of June 27th, a primitive town gathers in the town square to follow a strange tradition that has been around for years; The Lottery. The children gather stones to put into a pile in the middle of the square, and then go stand with their families. A household name is drawn out of a box, and then family members’ names. One villager is selected to win the lottery – the brutal prize is being stoned to death by the town. This tradition is paralyzing their town from moving forward because it normalizes murder for the supposed greater good of the town – a theory which has no evidence. THESIS

The villagers in “The Lottery” gathered quickly into the main square, a boisterous enthusiasm consuming the atmosphere. June 27 was described as a beautiful day “with the fresh warmth of full-summer day” (Jackson 1). The adults socialized and exchanged banalities about taxes and the town gossip. The children gaily constructed “a great pile of stones in one corner of the square” (Jackson 1) and “rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters” (Jackson 1). Boys and girls in the city of Omelas were no different.

Edmund Burke once said, “No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as hate.” In other words, when one becomes enveloped in the emotion of hate, similarly to that of love, it can alter one's thought and ability to make decisions. Love and hate are the two most powerful emotions and are seen at the core of humanity; however, it is ironic that such strong emotions can be so easily manipulated. George Orwell considers this idea in his novel 1984 and reveals the relationship between love and hate in a dystopian society. Throughout the novel, it is clear to see how one is able to gain love and power based on the manipulation of hate and fear; this can be seen through the analysis of the Party’s views of Emmanuel

Soldiers returning from combat face a wide range of challenges in adjusting to civilian life. These challenges are compounded by the high susceptibility of combat-experienced soldiers to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and overlapping symptoms of traumatic brain syndrome. As the two articles considered hereafter demonstrate, the U.S. military has sought better ways of understanding the primary symptoms and health consequences of traumatic brain syndrome with an interest in driving better outreach and treatment.

As I stated before in the beginning of the event all the families get together to pick a slip of paper from the black box Mr. Summers presents in the middle of the crowd. Who ever picks the paper with the black dot in the middle of the paper, their family had to choose again, and the person who picks the paper they will get stoned by all the villagers including their family members. Tessie was the person who got stoned in the story. The annual Lottery was about to start and everyone in the

An old tradition in an even older town has begun tearing apart a small community. Last week, Tessie Hutchinson won the annual Little Town lottery. In Little Town, a village just outside of Big Town, all the townspeople gathered in the main square. It was a seemingly normal summer day, however a large cloud hung over them all.

In Barbara Graham’s “The Future of Love”, she says long-term fairy tale romance inspires true love believers and their perspective towards love itself. Graham expresses the idea that to her, a lot of relationships fail because both partners in the relationship fall in love with an idealistic view of who the other person is. She explains that couples jump into relationships thinking their significant other was this perfect image they made him/her out to be only to come to realization that it was a figment of their imagination. Graham also defies the sappy happy endings that she says everyone believes in since heartbroken romantics oversee a lot of the incompatibilities and faults in a relationship to make it more

“Love in a Silent World” is an article explaining some deaf histories and deaf cultures by describing the backgrounds of a young deaf couple, Mike and Monica. Mike, a Gallaudet college sophomore, is a “manualist”, meaning that he “does not speak” and that he only communicates “through sign language”.

Even though Mike and Monica are both deaf, they are very distinct from each other.
