Answer:

hi! i hope this will help you!

Explanation:

"The Lottery" takes place on June 27, a beautiful summer day, in a small town in New England where all residents gather for their traditional annual lottery.  

Although the event seems festive, for the first time something different happens, since it soon becomes clear that nobody wants to win the lottery.  

Tessie Hutchinson doesn't seem worried about tradition until her family draws the dreaded brand.  

Then he complains that the process was not fair. It turns out that the "winner" is going to be stoned to death by the other residents.  

Tessie wins and the story ends when the villagers, including members of her own family, start throwing stones at her.

The story achieves its frightening effect through the skillful use of Jackson's contrasts, with which he keeps the reader's expectations at odds with the action of the story.

The picturesque environment differs sharply with the horrible violence of the conclusion. The story takes place on a beautiful summer day with flowers and "richly green" grass.  

Children begin to gather stones, which seems typical and playful behavior, and we readers can imagine that everyone has gathered for something nice like a picnic or a parade.

Just as good weather and family gatherings can lead us to expect something positive, so does the word "lottery," which generally implies something good for the winner.  

Knowing what the "winner" really gets is even more horrible because we have expected otherwise.

Like the friendly environment, the decontracted attitude of the villagers while they have small talks, some jokes, this situation belies the approaching violence.  

The narrator's perspective seems to be completely aligned with that of the villagers, so the events are narrated in the same everyday way that the villagers use.

The narrator points out, for example, that the town is small enough that the lottery can "spend time to allow villagers to come home for noon dinner."  

Men talk about common concerns such as "planting and rain, tractors and taxes."  

The lottery, such as "square dances, the teenage club, the Halloween program", is just another of the "civic activities" performed by Mr. Summers.

Readers may find that the addition of the murder makes the lottery quite different from a square dance, but the villagers and the narrator obviously do not.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

I personally would like people to make positive changes by not making fun of people because of their likings or the way they appear. Yes, in some circumstances your opinion does matter but not when it is used to make fun of others. I would want my audience to feel regret if they ever did something that would be a cause of someone's depression.
