Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.
There is nothing for anyone to look at to see what she says... I would help but there is nothing to see
The Establishment of Fort. Christian
The paragraph depics a story of the colonizers who took St. Thomas, it describes how they developed and thrived on the island and gives some simple detail on the nature of their lifestyles.
After reading the scenario, we can say the following about Camilla's probable actions at level 2 of moral development:
At level 2 of her moral development, Camilla would most likely report the theft.
Perhaps, in order to help the hungry person, she would give him/her food herself. But still, since at level 2 she has internalized society's moral standards and rules, she would report the theft because that is the right thing to do according to society.
- This question refers to Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development, which is comprised of 3 levels. At the second level, which is the level Camilla is at, we accept the notion of right and wrong given to us by others in society.
The three levels are:
1.<u> Preconventional level</u>: when children still have no sense of morality and their decisions are guided by adults.
2. Conventional level: when children accept the moral code and the sense of right and wrong she has learned. Most adults remain at this level.
3.<u> Postconventional level:</u> when the person understands universal ethical principles but makes her own judgments based on her own individual sense of right and wrong.
- If Camilla is at the second level, she will most likely conform to society's rules and expectations.
- That does not mean she can't understand that there is a hungry person in need. She will likely help this person too, but that will not prevent her from reporting the crime.
- In conclusion, having the above information in mind, we can answer that Camilla might report the theft and help the hungry person.
