Why does Shirley Jackson lump the lottery in with “square dances, the teen club [and] the Halloween program”? (paragraph 4)

English

Nutka1998 [239]1 year ago

It begins by informing the reader that the day is lovely and sunny. Before the day is over, someone will be stoned to death even if everything seems normal and perfect. The lottery, square dances, the teen club, and the Halloween event were all organized by Mr. Summers.

The lottery is a metaphor for everything that is unquestioningly accepted and followed from one generation to the next, no matter how absurd, strange, or cruel it may be. Since as long as anyone can remember, the community has held a lottery. Jackson introduces irony early in the narrative. She gives the impression that the lottery is an enjoyable celebration for the townspeople.

(MC) Read this passage from "The Calypso Borealis" and answer the following question: Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets
Katena32 [7]

The words from this paragraph from <em>The Calypso Borealis</em> that best show Muir's naturalist philosophy are the last ones:

<em>"Welcomed as friends" </em>

In the whole passage, the author shows us how deeply connected the character was with nature. It is very clear when Muir says: <em>"With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread." </em>

Winds, plants, storms the woods, everything was perceived by Muir as loving friends cohabiting the beautiful world.

Which word best describes Nadia at the end of the story??
DENIUS [597]
Based on the story, I would say the best word to describe Nadia at the end of the story would be, "accomplished". After seeing her mother in the front row, which reminded her of home and Lucky, she was able to put her fears aside and complete her performance. 

Hope this helps.
Take care.
