Answer:
Mrs. Robertson's note to Maria Elisa really helps her confidence and relieves her stress at thinking the teacher no longer likes her.
Explanation:
Maria Elisa is poor but she wants to give her favorite teacher a nice gift, just like everyone else in class. However, unlike most people from her class, she can't afford it. She feels very sad about the fact that her mom picked out a pair of stockings to give to Mrs. Robertson and she feels ashamed of having to give it to her, which is why she throws the gift in garbage. However, Mrs. Robertson leaves Maria Elisa a note thanking her for the gift because it's very thoughtful (turns out Mrs. Robertson often tears her stockings).

“The Lottery” is a short story written by the famous writer Shirley Jackson in 1943. The Lottery tells the story of a small village that holds a lottery every year to decide which person from the village is going to be stoned by the other villagers. However, the reader does not know about this until the very end. In the first paragraph, Jackson describes the lottery in a way that it creates uncertainty. She starts creating so much suspense that the reader may feel uneasy, anxious or disturbed since he/she may not fully understand what the lottery is about. As far as we know, lotteries are generally played in a different way, with papers or numbers and players usually receive a nice reward, such as money and nice objects. However, in Jackson’s story, the reader is not sure why the villagers are meeting up in the center of the village or why the children from the village are collecting and stones. So, the way Jackson starts this story makes the readers read until the very end in order to find out what is actually going on.
