9 sentence paragraph
THE LOTTERY
In Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery", irony is portrayed through the community event of the lottery. As the reader begins to read the story, they assume the lottery is something that is celebrated, but as the story progresses, the reader realizes that the lottery is nothing but a death sentence. In the beginning of the story, the setting sets the mood of a perfect summer's day. The first sentence states, " The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day, the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green" (1) When people think of summer, they think of happy, joyful, good times. This makes the reader think that there will be no harm done and the results of the lottery will be something positive and good. As the reader gets more in depth into the story, he or she will realize that the lottery is really negative and bad: a death sentence. After everyone had picked a piece of paper out of the black box, they began to look around the crowd to see who had "won" the lottery. Bill Hutchinson was standing back quietly, staring down at the death sentence in his hand. Tessie Hutchinson started yelling at Mr. Summer's, saying "You didn't give him enough time to take the paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!" (6) Since Tessie had "won", she finally came to the realization that the lottery wasn't fair and that it wasn't a good thing only because it was happening to her. That shows that winning the lottery isn't a good thing at all.

Do you believe we process information to fast? What is your view on technological advancements?
I do not think we process information to fast, i think we apply the information to fast and dont realize what we're doing. It makes life easier but because we do that we become lazy and end up doing things wrong.
Plot: ~Walked out of sight of the village and waited for a sign from the Gods on a rock, ~Went east following a white fawn, Through the forest and past the forest people, ~Walked the god roads and came to the banks of the great river,~ crossed the river to the Place of the Gods, ~Went north in the Place of the Gods, went into the great temple in the middle of the city,~ north toward dead houses, ~went inside a dead house, ~entered a dead room, slept in front of the fire, ~When back to his home in the hills.

Plot/Reaction
The yellow sheet of paper was full of facts, quotations and figures that he needed for work. Tom retrieves the paper by climbing out of the window, onto the side of the building.
Questions
1. Why did he work instead of going to the movies with his wife?
2. Why didn't he care about the paper the second time it flew out of the window?
Quote
He thought of all the evenings he had spent away from her, working; and he regretted them. He thought wonderingly of his fierce ambition and the direction his life had taken; he thought of the hours he'd spent by himself, filling in the yellow sheet that had brought him out here.Contents of the dead man's pockets, he thought with sudden fierce anger, a wasted life.

Claim:
The society Harrison Bergeron lives in is not at all equal.
Quote:
" Diana Moon Glampers loaded the gun again. She aimed it at the musicians and told them they had ten seconds to get their handicaps on."
Commentary:
The society was definitely not equal at all because Diana, the Handicapper General, had a loaded gun and no handicap like the rest of the people that need one. It takes knowledge to be able to load a gun and aim it correctly. She has more power then the rest of the people.
