The idea for ""The Lottery"" came to Jackson as she was ​

English

Mars2501 [29]2 years ago
3 0

Shirley Jackson told: "the idea for "The Lottery" had come to me while I was pushing my daughter up the hill in her stroller—it was, as I say, a warm morning, and the hill was steep, and besides my daughter, the stroller held the day’s groceries—and perhaps the effort of that last 50 yards up the hill put an edge to the story.”

Explanation:

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in which members of a small community join together every year to follow a tradition according to which, randomly, the destiny of one of them is decided. The raffler winner is stoned to the dead to ensure prosperity for the whole village. The title is a clear instance of irony.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:ok its short so try to stretch it

Explanation:

as i foraged through the dark trees and muddy path i saw a house with a door, it was my house. As i walked through the old 90's toys my mother would buy for me i felt a nostalgic feeling run through my chest. I was back home as i walked to the door it was unlocked. maybe mom still lived here maybe she gave the house to pa or my siblings. as i walked through the door it smelled horrible inside i could see our old family pictures and all our things nice and neat i felt cozy and i felt these feelings that made me miss my child hood. i stood in horror to find a mutilated body sitting in my chair. it was my mother. as rat and other pests fed on her flesh i shooed them off as i carried the chair and dug a whole. as i placed the body on the ground i ripped the cloth from the chair and wrapped the body in it and place lots of my mothers clothing from her wardrobe inside to make it look all pretty as i placed her body in the whole i remembered all the amazing times i spent with her and everything my mother did for me
