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.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Dear Brother Rahul,

I've learned that you're in poor company these days. All of your buddies are spoiled, wealthy people's sons. I've also heard that you skip classes and return to the hostel late at night. It's alarming to learn that your pals are notorious bad boys with a variety of terrible behaviors.

This is a major source of anxiety for the whole family. The father seems to be cool, while the mother cannot disguise her feelings. She often weeps as a result of the complaints about your behavior.

Explanation:

You did a great job! I only tweaked the grammar a bit.
