Answer 1

After reading the stories "The Lottery" and "All Summer in a Day," we can compare and contrast the characters' reactions to Tessie and Margot as follows:

• Similarities: In both stories, at a certain point, the other characters become extremely hostile toward Tessie and Margot. In the first case, the characters lose their temper as Tessie begins to question the lottery results. In the second case, the children lock Margot up as she begins to talk about the sun.
