What is the dialogue in the short story "The Lottery" By Shirley Jackson?

English
1 answer:
Gala2k [10]4 years ago
4 0

The village lottery culminates in a violent murder each year, a bizarre ritual that suggests how dangerous tradition can be when people follow it blindly. Before we know what kind of lottery they’re conducting, the villagers and their preparations seem harmless, even quaint: they’ve appointed a rather pathetic man to lead the lottery, and children run about gathering stones in the town square. Everyone is seems preoccupied with a funny-looking black box, and the lottery consists of little more than handmade slips of paper. Tradition is endemic to small towns, a way to link families and generations. Jackson, however, pokes holes in the reverence that people have for tradition. She writes that the villagers don’t really know much about the lottery’s origin but try to preserve the tradition nevertheless.

<h3>What is a dialogue?</h3>

A dialogue is a conversation that takes place between two or more people. For this question, we must choose among the answer choices provided which ones best fit the blanks, so that the dialogues make sense.

In order to choose the best answers, we must take the context of each dialogue into consideration. That means we must read the whole dialogue to find clues as to what is going on:

  • In the first dialogue, John clearly does not think Connie should buy a new parka. She thinks it is absurd to wear something from last year, but he does not.
  • In the second dialogue, Manuel clearly says something that leads Erica to talk about the menus. He also mentions chicken all of a sudden, which means Erica must say something related to chicken as well.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct answers to complete the dialogues are the following:

  • What’s on your mind? (first dialogue)
  • Yeah, right! One year is long? (first dialogue)
  • That’s good. Now what should we do? (second dialogue)
  • I think I’m going to make the chicken salad (second dialogue)
