Answer:

The beginning of “The Lottery” doesn’t seem very odd. The people seem relatively normal, the adults are working, yet there is a sense of uneasiness. It soon becomes clear that the “lottery” that keeps getting mentioned is what causes this sense of unease. Yet the reader is still unaware of what part of this lottery is making them uncomfortable, and it starts to become clear that winning the lottery is not a good thing. Slowly the reader puts together various pieces of the story, and it becomes clear what will happen: the winner of the lottery is stoned to death, supposedly to ensure a good harvest. The story becomes darker and darker as one realizes that no one really even knows the origin of the ritual and why it cannot be done away with. It becomes clear that “The Lottery” is a prime example of a dystopia, because propaganda is used to control the citizens, which leads to the freedom of information being heavily restricted. This happens to the point where citizens from different towns rarely speak with one another. One must question why this information is restricted (or rather, has it simply been forgotten?) how it came to be this way, and why the citizens don’t work to change it.

Answer:

I think that they make life in the community harder. In real life, it depends. The kind of rules the community has, like limits to how many kids you can have, kids are divided into age groups, can't have your own privacy since you must share your feelings and dreams with your family whether you like it or not, etc. I feel that it limits the freedom of the people in the community. It's a strange world too. There are no colors, only one season exists, no birthdays, and you can get "released" if you do not perform or develop as you should. The rules were made to make the world utopian, but I think that limiting what people can and what people can't do in order to make a utopian society is unnecessary.

Which rhetorical device is used in the following statement from Mark Twain's speech, "Adviceto Youth"?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

b. understatement

Explanation:

The Cambridge Dictionary defines understatement as "a statement that describes something in a way that makes it seem less important, serious, bad, etc. than it really is, or the act of making such statements". In the speech we see that Twain states that if you get offended by someone, you should not take extreme measures, just simply hit them with a brick whenever possible. We saw that "hit him with the brick" is the understatement, making the action seem less serious.
