Answer:

B. preserve an institutionalized tradition that imposed limits on its participants.

Explanation:

The main idea of <em>The Lottery</em> is how societies often preserve traditions even after they have lost any reason for existing and even become damaging to the people. This is the case of the lottery which is held in the town. The lottery has no particular purpose or benefit. It is simply maintained and repeated because of an extreme desire to respect and maintain tradition, and to limit the behaviour and liberty of people.

Answer:

Helen is one of the most popular girls in the class. After the teacher suggests that the class plays with Myra, Helen feels reluctant to do so because she is afraid of what the other children would say. However, she talks to her, walks with her and her brother, and gives her a butterfly brooch from a snack she shares with her. So in spite of her reputation worries, in the end she becomes friends with dying Myra.

On the other hand, Myra is isolated from her class and often made fun of. She is protective of her younger brother Jimmy. Besides, when the class visit her at the hospital, she is generous enough to let Helen take one of the gifts.

What is the impact of Emma Watson sharing her own experiences with inequality, as a woman?
oee [108]
Women have handled life’s complexities when trying to claim equality, the more difficulties faced the stronger they get. If what men can do and so as women too.  With the experience of Emma Watson, I would say that women equality is indeed a right and not a privileged. A right to be taken care of, to be heard, to be nurtured, and most importantly can be a leader too. The only difference of women to a man is that we don’t have that masculine physique but the brain that functions in a man is also similar to a women’s brain.
