The Lottery Response/ Possible Paper Topics

So I think that I'm going to write about the yellow wallpaper.
I might argue that she has post-pardum depression (I should probably find out how to spell that)
Either that or maybe another story still coming up....

The Lottery: Woah...Disturbing!
I Think the Lottery takes place in very old days. Maybe the 18th century. But the writer makes it seem familiar because she wants you to feel for the characters and relate. The children gathering rocks and whatnot is a huge foreshadow to the ending. The black of the box, and the spot probably represent death. simple as that. These people think that if they hold this lottery every year it will bring them good food and wealth and such. Its basically talking about ancient cultures sacraficing to their gods. Its a very weird story and it just kind of ends. There was a huge build up the entire story to just that a rock hits her in the head. done. It was very weird but a very good story.
