Answer:  The best answer is (A) The main conflict is between an individual and society. In the story, the townspeople have a yearly ritual that involves sacrificing a villager to ensure a good harvest. After Tessie Hutchinson is selected, she is attacked by the entire community.

Explanation:  The Lottery is a short story published in 1948, written by Shirley Jackson. First printed in The New Yorker, The Lottery is a fictional tale about a village where a member of the community is sacrificed each year by being publicly stoned by others, to ensure the villagers’ prosperous harvest season for the coming year. In The Lottery, the story ends by Tessie Hutchinson’s public stoning by other members of the community, after her name was drawn from the lottery involving her family members.

Describe a time in American history when there was likely a lot of carnage
babunello [35]

During the Civil War, there was a lot of carnage. People wouldnsend their sons, husbands, etc. off to war, and never expected them to return. If you were on the battle field, there were so many fatalities and numerous injuries. Soldiers lost limbs, and nurses and doctors would have to try to save them with little supplies and no sterile environment.

Write an argumentive editorial that argues for or against young people's ability to initiate positive change in their communitie
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Okay. First of all you need to understand that you are writing an argumentative essay which means you need to

a) state your thesis (fancy way of saying claim)

b) support your thesis (body paragraphs)

c) state the counterclaim (this can go in as early as your thesis to as late as your last body paragraph)

d) refute the counterclaim (refute it with one of your stronger reasons)

If you are pro-young people then your reasons should be centered around:

  • are most familiar with current technologies
  • have the most physical potential <em>(the energy to work outside/lack of illnesses caused by old age)</em>
  • have incentive and want the best for their future <em>(will grow up in this community)</em>
  • empathetic and knowledgeable about their community <em>(most young people are on the Internet and see the state of the world daily)</em>
  • known for being the most accepting of minorities

The counterclaim should be something like:

  • They aren't wise <em>(can be refuted by their invaluable knowledge of technology and culture of today)</em>
  • They are politically active or have any actual influence in society <em>(Can identify the work of BLM or the MeToo movement, or any other youth-led movement. (I live in the US so these are movements I have the most understanding over) They will also grow up to lead societies and will take their current mentalities with them)</em>
  • Young people are all trashy and disrespectful in general, etc. <em>(This is an untrue stereotype labeled on every younger generation)</em>

<em />

If you are anti-young people then your reasons should be centered around:

  • Their lack of wisdom <em>(have only seen the world from their phones, haven't experienced much yet)</em>
  • Their inability to complete any change <em>(very few are actually able and willing to try and create any political impact)</em>
  • Small attention spans <em>(they have the ability to </em><em>start</em><em> a change but run out of fuel before anything gets done)</em>
  • Lazy <em>(like I said before, knowing a lot about technology means using it </em><em>a lot</em><em>)</em>

The counterclaim should be something like:

  • They are familiar with technology <em>(adults can be taught this work and have literal jobs dedicated to it)</em>
  • Their physical potential <em>(adults in their 30s or late 20s can still do hard labor without hurting themselves)</em>
  • Incentive<em> (can be rebutted with lazy)</em>
  • Empathy <em>(there is an actual study that women in their 50s are the most empathetic)</em>
  • Accepting of minorities<em> (a stereotype that does not apply to all young people)</em>

<em />

Personally I would go for pro-young people, but I do have slight bias as I am a teenager. If you need any other help, message me.
