"THE LOTTERY" SHORT STORY DISCUSSION
(the book discussion is above this discussion)


It's time for the two readings discussions!


Rules, Regulations, and Points:

This discussion will run much like the debates held in the main community. To earn points, be sure to heed the following:
-The comment is at least five sentences long.
-The comment stays on topic. No personal attacks or arguments will be tolerated.
-The comment is signed. If you accidentally forget to sign it, please delete the comment and repost it with your name and house in it. No name/house= no points.
-Remember to comment with your subject in the subject line. Like "Christine/Phantom," for example. That way, people can more readly track discussions.

Points will be awarded as follows:
-10 points for your first comment (this will only be awarded once. Not twice, once for each discussion)
-50 points to the top commenter, one in the novel and and one in the short story discussion.
-40 points for second, one for novel and one for short story discussion
-30 points for third, one for novel and one for short story discussion.



Discussions will end Friday, March 24th. This will give you all two full weeks for discussion. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions!

Re: the ritual

The study is horrifying, but I have to wonder about the control factors involved. I live in a neighborhood with kids and melodrama left and right. Just the other weekend we had the neighbor across the street drunk/high/frying AGAIN screaming at her male AGAIN and telling him to leave AGAIN. We've gotten so accustomed to her screaming, no one would think anything of it if it really were an emergency sometime. (Crying wolf?)

I wonder about the neighbors... not to excuse them, but I wonder if they were really neglectful, or simply jaded.

I used to live in neighbourhood like that too. And now everytime I hear kids or teenagers playing or something and they're screaming, I always secretly wonder if they're really in trouble.

Damn, studying that bystander apathy stuff has screwed me up!

I'm pro-population control and slightly sadistic. I kinda usually feel the opposite way *grin*

Hehe I have those days, trust me I do! But I also have a real soft spot for kiddies. I can't stand the idea of kiddies being harmed it makes me angry.
