Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.
Answer:
Yes, I think it was the best thing to do. When people spend money on things they tend to appreciate their importance. Paying for carryout plastic and paper disposable bags would help people realize the danger extensive use of these bags have on the environment.
Explanation:
Anacostia River and Clean Up Act of 2009 was made with the idea of charging 5 cents for customers who do not bring their own disposable bags. This idea was accepted and signed into law by Washington DC.
This tax was the best thing to do as it would help people to become more wary and conscious of carelessly using disposable bags that damage the environment.
"Justice will be done" were the words that George Bush said in his speech on September 20, 2001, when the twin towers were demolished by Al - Qaeda terrorists. The feeling evoked by the president of the United States is revenge because in addition to the threat he made to terrorists, he also warns all countries saying that "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Starting the so-called "war against terrorism" that put justice in the hands of the United States and the way to enforce it is weapons.
