"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 Lottery

I completely agree that it was an attack on traditions and why we keep these traditions going. But I can aslo say that thought there might seem to be a lot of traditions that might seem silly to us have a true basis to people. If I can bring up obsessive compulsive disorder, it's the same principle that things someone does over and over again seems so stupid to other people but for the person doing they fear that something bad will happen if they don't do it. Like my completely irrational fear that if I don't touch the alarm as I walk down the hall and make sure it's flat against the wall we're going to get broken in to or the house is gonna catch on fire. >.>
