const2013 [10]

Answer:

Someone has already answered this

Explanation:

They just actually doing the wrong way of controlling their population by launching a lottery and killing the one who gotten the black mark/circle. The central conflict in “The Lottery” is the external conflict of person vs. society, because it is the traditions of the village that cause Tessie Hutchinson to be killed, and one other person a year before her. A person vs. society conflict exists when the rules or governance of the society come into conflict with the character. The character is threatened or impaired in some way by society. In this story, all characters are at conflict with society because the victim is chosen by lottery, but the Hutchinsons are the main conflict.

“The Lottery” is the story of a village that sacrifices one of its people each year. The victim is chosen by lottery. There is no reason for this murder, except that things are done as they always have been.

No one knows the original purpose of the lottery. They will not even repair the three-legged stool so it can stand by itself, or replace the dilapidated black box, because “no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box.” They seem to see the lottery as nothing more than an interruption in their daily routine.

"Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work.

People in the village act the way they do because that is the way it’s always been. The lottery has been used since the first villagers settled, so they continue it. No one questions anything. Parts of the ritual only change when no one can remember them.

This story represents the costs of going along with everyone else. If people don’t question things because no one else questions them, then grave injustices will continue. The mob mentality allows individuals to be anonymous and not held accountable for their choices. Like peer pressure, people just go along with whatever is done by the next person.

What does the author talk about doing in the poem “Birthright” and what is the mood of the poem?

iren2701 [21]

The correct answer to what the author is talking about doing in the poem “Birthright” and what the mood of the poem is would be B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

When the author says that "We talked once of driving all the remote gravel roads, writing from here and there", "Today I am wondering about those unwritten drafts" and "But where could we travel and not long for the ache of wind blowing over open land?", she conveys that she wishes to drive all the remote gravel roads, exploring new places and experiences. Yet, the mood in her poem is thoughtful, because she talks about her family, her homeland and her ancestors. "You, the eventual heir to your family’s homestead; and me, an Indian woman who leases her land to white men made up of the same storm and grit and hunger as your grandfather", she says, moreover "Would we have listened and turned the far east or south and left behind the land our families have lived on for generations?", expressing her absorbing thoughts and also showing consideration for her hometown and family. Therefore, the correct answer is B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

The correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy because her mood is not happy. When she says "Could they have predicted the severity of this drought, would they have spoken to our own landscape, one of anger, sympathy and remorse", the author shows that she is reflecting about deep and difficult things, thus, her mood is not really happy. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy.

The correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark because she doesn't discuss taking over the family business in any part of the poem. On the contrary, she says that she should "abandon this place". Hence, the correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark.

The correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful, because of the same explanation given previously; the author doesn't discuss taking over the family business, on the contrary. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful.
