The Lottery: Do you think this sort of lottery could take place in your own community? Why or why not? Are there any events that have occurred in your community that remind you of the events in "The Lottery?"

Answers

Answer 1

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

I don´t think this sort of lottery could happen in my community, because the explicit randomness of the selection of who will be killed would be too much in our present society. However, I can think of many situations that remind me of the events in "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson.

Explanation:

The way that the villagers follow the tradition of killing someone randomly selected every year, reminds me of cases of discrimination based on race, sex, and sexual orientation. These features are not only arbitrary but are used to victimize people over characteristics they can´t change leads to acts of violence against innocent people, just like in the story.

If they have good reason for it (Like, the significant other is a points a dangerous thing (a gone if you know what I mean) and fatally hurts someone, hangs out with the wrong crowd if you know what i mean..., etc.) Then the significant other should listen. if the significant other actually is a good person and the parents dislike him/her/them/ because they're poor or because of a weird reason (ex. missed one day of school because they were sick) then the son/daughter/other should be with the one they love! <3

What did the election of 1856 show? There was a political divide between the North and the South. A third-party candidate could do well in a presidential election. Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

Answers

Answer:

Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

Explanation:

The election of 1856 in which James Buchanan won as a Democratic presidential candidate, against the Know-Nothings party and the Republican party, shows that "Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties."

This is evident in the fact that the Democratic party was perceived by the public as a party in support of slavery.

Hence, some Democrats and Whigs party members fall out to form new parties, the Know-Nothing Party, and the Republican party.

The Know-Nothings party has the ideal of anti-immigration, while the Republicans have the anti-slavery ideals.

Answer:

Well the actual answers are There was a political divide between the North and the South and Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.
