  4. Good Responses

  5. Shirley Jackson wouldn’t tell what the story was about because she wanted to leave the people wondering what was happening. She probably didn’t want to tell anyone why they did that because it probably wouldn’t make sense to us. There was probably a certain reason they did this. Maybe her family got stoned or someone in her family did. The public Reception of the Lottery

  6. The differences between the movie and story are that instead of just one person picking from the lottery the whole family picked from it. In the movie, Mrs. Dunbar picked for her husband. In the story she did also, but Mr. Summers asked her son if she could pick for her but she said he was not even 16 so she had to pick. Also, the girls make fun of Harry Jones, but in the story they didn’t. Also, the Hutchinson’s had 3 kids in the story but only 1 in the movie. I like the story better because there’s more suspense, and you can picture it better. Movie vs. Short Story

  7. Some traditions are not fair, when the seniors torment the freshman at the pep rally, or, when they call the freshman, ‘freshmeat’ on the first day of school. People wanted to change things about the slaves, and how they were treated. Traditions we Don’t understand & Traditions that we fought to change

  8. Sending people by their birthdates is unfair. They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. People should be able to go into the army voluntarily. People should have the right to choose whether to go or not. Reaction to the Vietnam Draft

  9. As I watched the video, I realized that it happened again and it happens all the time. It happens everyday people leave someone all because they’re a certain race, or religion. Kids die, trained from when they’re little, so when they grow up they see it happening in other countries and don’t react. The video was a wakeup call, its not okay to do that anymore and people will never change. Genocide video Free write
