Answer:
Hi, I just did an assignment off of this story as well.
Explanation:
2. Answer ~ Tessie's attitude was of disbelief, she complained about how Bill winning the jackpot was not fair, and how Mr. Summers didn't give Bill a chance to pick the piece of paper slip he wanted.
It then changes when Mr. Summers then takes Bill's paper, puts it back into the box and has their children pick a paper slip in each box. Since they all had start over with their family, the kids opened their slip first, it was blank. Bill opened his, and it was blank as well. Tessie opened hers, turns out Tessie received a black dot on her paper slip, meaning she was then chosen.
I don’t have prior knowledge to the store but we can predict that something incredible and potentially bad has happened due to the way the writer described how the character said his words and the part that says “as I wished it twisted my hand like a snake”
