Queen Of The Tearling

As this book has several references, the most important connection I found in the book was, when Willowdean had to deal with her Aunt’s death. Willowdean’s Aunt, Lucy, had passed away by the cause of a heart-attack. She was about 300 pounds at the age of thirty. Willowdean loved her Aunt dearly, and it was difficult for her to push through that phase. This specific part of the book relates to another book I’ve read, called “The One,” by Kiera Cass. This book is about a country name Illéa, with thirty-five different provinces, and eight casts. A Selection between thirty-five different girls, from all the differents states of Illéa was held to determine to new Queen. America Singer, a fortunate girl from the fifth cast, was chosen

Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine is about a 12 year old girl named Marlee. The book takes place in 1958 in Little Rock, Arkansas, which was the time of segregation when the two races were separated from each other. Segregation took a big stand in this time period. Marlee is shy until she meets Liz. Liz is a new girl at school who is brave and is passing for white, meaning that she is one color, but makes it that she is another. The author uses elements of historical fiction related to the time period to express emotional impact of events during the process of integration, or the blending of people of different races into living one life together, that is not separated. The theme in this book is that friendship and courage will always

In the novel Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosney, the reader can see that the impact of a stranger can not only be important but also crucial for changing Julia’s life forever.

You should read Bitterblue, by Kristin Cashore, a companion book to Graceling and Fire, because it's a beautifully written book with deep characters, thrilling action, and a twisting plot that leaves you constantly on the edge of your seat. Bitterblue is filled to the brim with brilliantly written characters who seem to leap off the page, that are captivating and who have feelings that are relatable. As the School Library Journal (SLJ) says, her story is “brimming with vibrant and dynamic characters.” This is, in my opinion, the biggest contributor to her amazing story, as the characters make the story, and she gives us realistic characters with flaws and troubles that the reader can understand. In the story, Queen Bitterblue is faced with

The timing for the presence of a make-believe house that never existed in the town of Georgia determined the destiny of a family of five.

One might expect a small village to have the qualities of friendliness, generosity, and charitable events. In this account, Shirley Jackson puts an unforeseen plot twist on this prospective. The author describes a pleasant summer day where people gather for annual event. However, the actions of the townspeople soon show the evil tendencies of humanity. What seemingly begins as a random drawing quickly turns into a barbaric stoning of an innocent woman. This is evident when “the lottery’s victim is revealed,” [and] …the black dot on the lottery slip” becomes a mark of death (Kosenko 261). Mrs. Delacroix in particular, gives clear signals that she means business when she “selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. ‘Come on,’ she said. ‘Hurry up.’ ” (Jackson 7). This specific occurrence and others

In Shirley Jackson’s "The Lottery," what appears to be an ordinary day in a small town takes an evil turn when a woman is stoned to death after "winning" the town lottery. The lottery in this story reflects an old tradition of sacrificing a scapegoat in order to encourage the growth of crops. But this story is not about the past, for through the actions of the town, Jackson shows us many of the social ills that exist in our own lives.

In a dystopian village, “A stone hit her in the side of the head. It isn’t fair, it isn’t right, Mrs. Hutchinson screamed and then they were upon her” (7). Keeping the tradition of the lottery alive means that the members of Tessie’s family, her friends, and the villagers will stone her to death. Tessie Hutchinson is the unluckiest person this year, having won the lottery. The theme of “The Lottery” is that there are some traditions that should not be kept alive.

In Shirley Jackson’s short story, “The Lottery,” a small village is preparing for an annual drawing, a tradition carried out for generations. During this ritual, the head of each household draws a blank piece of paper out of a black box. One piece of paper is marked with a single black dot and if chosen, the outcome is having the winner’s entire household draw out of the box. Whoever chooses the black dot out of the household is stoned to death by the entire village. In this instance, a husband wins to which his wife protests, and then she is the ultimate victim who is sacrificed. This story includes many literary elements like foreshadowing, warning of a future event, symbolism, symbols used in the story to represent ideas,and irony, when the contrary to what is expected to happen, occurs. Jackson uses foreshadowing, symbolism, and irony to prove the theme that it is foolish and barbaric to blindly follow tradition.

She has a unique way of interacting with the world, with actions and words that might not make sense to anyone else. Through

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is a suspenseful story that begins on a pleasant morning in June, but it quickly shifts into a morbid display of tradition. The characters display a sudden change in loyalty to each other once one of the town member’s names is drawn from the “black box”. Through this action, along with several other vivid examples from the text, Jackson cultivates an underlying theme of hypocrisy and the evil of human nature.
