The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuelo (adapted excerpt)
Some men on horseback rode up, shouting and sweating; two of them dismounted, while the other hung back to watch the horses.
"We want food! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got! We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons1 on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat, and quick too. We’re coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.
"So we're in Limon, eh, the famous Demetrio Macias' country, eh? Do you hear that, Lieutenant? We're in Limon. I'll wager you know Macias the bandit, old woman? I was in the pen with him at Escobedo, once."

Answer:

Characterization The setting influences what the characters need. The soldiers are hungry because the setting is a difficult place to find food.

Plot The setting influences how the story’s rising action develops. The soldiers stop at the ranch to demand food and discover that they are in the “famous Demetrio Macias' country” where they learn that the man living at the ranch is Demetrio Macias.

Theme The setting influences how the theme is introduced. The placement of soldiers on the sierra introduces a theme related to war or battle.

If you have ever read the story the Lottery write a body paragraph on how the lottery is a wrongful ritual
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The story presents the possibility that the lottery is dying out. For example, a passage in the seventh paragraph indicates that the villagers have already permitted certain parts of the lottery ritual to be lost. [A]t one time, some people remembered, there had been a recital of some sort, performed by the official of the lottery, a perfunctory, tuneless chant that had been rattled off duly each year; some people believed that the official of the lottery used to stand just so when he said or sang it, others believed that he was supposed to walk among the people, but years and years ago this part of the ritual had been allowed to lapse. There had been, also, a ritual salute, which the official of the lottery had had to use in addressing each person who came up to draw from the box, but this also had changed with time, until now it was felt necessary only for the official to speak to each person approaching.
