Answer:

Characters:

Tessie Hutchinson - Loser of the Lottery

Old Man Warner -Oldest man in the village

Mr. Summers - Lottery conductor

Bill Hutchinson - Tessie Hutchinson's husband

Mr. Harry Graves - Postmaster

Motivation:

Family and Rules. Although family relationships determine almost everything about the lottery, they do not guarantee loyalty or love after the lottery is over. The lottery is filled with rules that can be randomly followed or disregarded.

Action:

There was a lottery in a small village on June 27. The lottery lasted for 2 hours due to the population of the village compared to other villages where it takes longer.

The rules of the lottery is that Mr. Summers will read names, and the family heads come up and draw a slip of paper. No one should look at the paper until everyone has drawn.

Tessie Hutchinson and her family joins the crowd.

Tessie was eventually stoned by the villagers for losing the game.

In Act II, Scene 5, of The Diary of Anne Frank the action returns to the present time and Otto Frank sits with Anne’s diary in t
irinina [24]

The theme of believing in the good of people even at the worst of times is one that is prevalent in The Diary of Anne Frank. Allthough Anne is enduring horrors we can't even imagine, she believes that everything will be alright in the end. One clear example of goodness is the way in which Otto Frank’s four employees: Miep Gies, Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler and Bep Voskuijl agree to help the family hide despite the risk involved in helping jews, which could result in imprisonment, deportation and even being shot. Bep's father was also a big help, and cherished by the people living in the Annex. Although there are conflicts between the very different people living and hiding together, they all contribute to make a home and end up being a big family, helping each other bear the abominations going outside their safe space.
