Answer:

optimistic

Explanation:

The witer 's tone is optimistic , which makes the ending even more surprising and tragic. This optimistic tone is illustrated through the underlined words : "The morning of June 27th was <u>clear</u> and <u>sunny</u>, with the <u>fresh warmth </u>of a <u>full-summer</u> day; the flowers were<u> blossoming profusely</u> and the grass was <u>richly </u>green.." This tone will give the story  a sinister atmosphere since this setting refers to the fact villagers meet in a square to play the lottery, which sounds quite normal , but then, the result of the lottery consists in  killing one villager.

A short paragraph on wasting time plsss fasst
dimaraw [331]
Why do humans waste time? We all do it. We put off tasks we see as boring or procrastinate to avoid having to complete a task. We waste time by over thinking about situations when they require a split second decision. But is this really wasting time? Some situations require a little over thinking so could it be deemed un-nescassary to ponder over other options. You could save money, time and effort by just wondering about a simple 'what if?'. This brings up the question - is wasting time really a waste?
