English
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It highlights the fact that no one speaks out against the lottery even though it is murder

Explanation:

Mr. Harry Graves from the short story "The Lottery" is a symbolic and important man because of his rile in the book as people who "win" the Lottery are sent to him.

The Lottery is about a town who has a tradition of drawing from a pool of names and whoever is selected, is "sacrificed" to ensure that the town prospers. No one knows why this tradition is in place, but they do it anyways, even though they feel its wrong.

The importance of Mr Graves keeping silent through out the novel is that no one speaks out about the lottery, even though it is murder.

In your opinion, is it more difficult to be disadvantaged and have to work hard, or to have high expectations put upon you becau
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

High expectations to be put upon you.

Explanation:

I think that having high expectations to be put on you is lighter that having a disadvantage and having to work hard because depending on what it is you're doing, you probably won't have to necessarily meet the high expectations but that doesn't mean that you will be looked down upon. You will still probably have many chances to prove yourself and be enough, whereas to having a disadvantage, depending on what the disadvantage is, there will be lots of work and having that disadvantage doesn't help in any way and you probably won't have the opportunity to change.
