The very cruel event named the lottery took place in a small American town. In this town there was a simple yet horrendous way to decide just exactly how to keep peace. Every year after a three step process someone was chosen to be brutally stoned to death by the people in the village. Tessie was the one who happened to be chosen and she did not want to die. Tessie is the character vs. society in this passage. Making the conflict the main part of the story her getting stoned against her will. The process was initially screwed up because Bill only had one household n the family, going straight towards the randomized draw in the black box. These changes point to the idea that the lottery is a long-standing tradition in the village, something they have been doing for years and years. Traditions that have been done for so long are unlikely to change.

A compound noun is a noun formed by two words. They can be made of two nouns, an adjective and a noun, or a verb and a noun. They can also be categorized as open, closed, or hyphenated.

An open compound noun is written as two separated words. That is the case with "baby sitters," "bus top," and "rain shower" in the passage.

A closed compound noun is written as one word. That is the case with "raindrops" and "newspapers" in the passage.

A hyphenated compound noun is formed by two words joined by a hyphen. That is the case with "tractor-trailer" in the passage.

Some of them could be put together, for example: Succeeding him as king was his 15-year old son, Edward III; however, he was king in name only, whereas the real rulers were the queen and her sweetheart Roger Mortimer, both of whom were instrumental in the ousting of Edward II.</span>
