MY FAVORITE STORY IS........
My favorite story we've read this quarter is The Lottery. This is my favorite because it's suspenseful and scary. It's also very misleading. First of all, the title. When you think of the lottery, you think of competing against a million other people to win some money. I would've never thought of a lottery equaling death. That's just crazy. An example of suspense in the story would be the part where the names are being called and you're just waiting to see who won and how much they're going to win The scary part about is that the winner didn't win money; they won hand fulls of stones thrown at him or her until he or she died. Oh how nice. So I definitely agree with whoever said it should be banned.

I agree, the story was really crazy. I was so surprised when I got to the end. I really liked it though, because it teaches us that traditions always change because new people/kids come and that means new modern ideas come with the too.
ReplyDeleteThis story was really crazy too and some what confusing but the whole traditions were crazy and how they really function in this small city
