Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothe

st and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix – the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy" – eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Whose behavior is ironic in this excerpt?

1. the villagers, for their pronunciation of Delacroix
2. the girls, for talking among themselves
3. the boys, for making and guarding the pile of stones
4. the very small children, for rolling in the dust
5. Mark this and return Save and Exit Next

2. How does Tessie's attitude toward the lottery change after her husband's name is drawn?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Hi, I just did an assignment off of this story as well.

Explanation:

2. Answer ~ Tessie's attitude was of disbelief, she complained about how Bill winning the jackpot was not fair, and how Mr. Summers didn't give Bill a chance to pick the piece of paper slip he wanted.

It then changes when Mr. Summers then takes Bill's paper, puts it back into the box and has their children pick a paper slip in each box. Since they all had start over with their family, the kids opened their slip first, it was blank. Bill opened his, and it was blank as well. Tessie opened hers, turns out Tessie received a black dot on her paper slip, meaning she was then chosen.
