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.

Write a letter to your local government chairman complaining the absence of basic and social amenities in your society
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Letter to the local government about the absence of basic and social amenities in the society.

Explanation:

ABC Apartments

New Delhi

28 July 2017

To,

The Chairman

Government of Delhi

New Delhi

Subject: Absence of basic social amenities in the locality.

Respected Sir,

It is with the utmost respect that I am writing to you about the absence of the basic social amenities in our society. While some other societies have drinking water supplies, health centers, and sanitation stations, these amenities are missing in our society, leaving us to manage on our own. This greatly hampers the growth and development of our society and also at times, led to various health issues.

So, I would like to request you to kindly look into the matter and help us get access to such basic needs for the whole society.

Thank you.

Regards,

Mrs. Saumya Verma

President

ABC Apartments Society
