“The lottery” "There was a great deal of fussing to be done..." Why would this statement

English

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:  

In the 7th paragraph, the writer makes the statement "There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open."

Fussing here is ironic because in the second sentence of that paragraph, they were going to make up lists of people family heads, and family members, who were supposed to partake in the lottery.

Going by the rules of a lottery, names ought not to be made up. But to be collated as -s from the list of those who ought to partake in it. Going the normal route would have been the actually fussing. But they decided to take a shortcut.

Cheers

What is the effect of the exposition on the story? It provides background about Jerome’s love of sports, which becomes meaningfu
Juliette [100K]

This story is about Jerome and Bix, they are two students, the first one is an Afro- American and the second  one is a white boy. ¨The Moves Make The Man¨¨ is a sports novel, written by Bruce Brooks. This story deals with many topics such as racism, cruelty, violence, poverty, mental problems, motivation, the deception and truth, its consequences, the psychology of adolescents, society and, in part, religion. The exposition is a part of the story, which precedes the beginning of the plot, gives background information and sometimes prior events. The right answer is B), because Jerome wants to write a book about his disappeared friend Bix. He emphasizes, that he is the only one who can write this story and it`s going to be truthful. Jerome also states, that he doesn`t understand everything, but the whole summary is in his head. He also mentions his point of view on the society and moral values of ¨white churches¨, that he believes are not so good as his, he belongs to. Jerome tells us how he took Bix`s notebook, because his friend let him do it. From one side it was a theft, but Jerome denied that. Bix wanted him to take it and didn`t want his step-father had it. Jerome thought that his step-father would have burnt it and Jerome didn`t think that he had been a thief. The text is full of sorrow and it shows that Jerome loved his friend, he missed him and he wanted to show everyone that Bix wasn`t as bad as society thought. He had disappeared, but Jerome wanted to tell the whole truth of his life in order to show why he did it. There is some information about sports, the source of this information hides in Bix`s notebook, but the answer A) doesn`t fit, and answer C) neither, because Jerome doesn`t mention any social media, which could have caused a problem. Jerome is writing a book, but we don`t know how he is going to use this information. He is seeking the truth and perhaps he is going to publish it, but this question is left unanswered for the readers.

Past present and future essay
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Now that we have explored my past, present, and future experiences with diversity, it is time to see how they are present within and effect each other. Firstly, let’s look into how my future is present in my past. The most obvious portion of my future that is in my past is my willingness and efforts to love and include everyone and to spread this world view. It took a fellow classmate of mine to demonstrate to my third grade self that we are all human beings and we all deserve to be treated as such. In my future, I aspire to demonstrate this world view to my students and inspire them to treat each other accordingly. This aspiration directly reflects my world view struggles I went through in third grade, for I want to help my students come to…show more content…

In my present life, I am struggling with my conflicting experiences of serving and running club basketball. This is similar to my struggle with diversity in my past. In both situation we find the portion of my being that wishes to fit in at war with my true thoughts and beliefs. I know that in the end my true self will win, I just hope it doesn’t undergo any changes in the meantime. My present confliction between my views and the views of those around me exists in my past, as well.
