Note: This piece is about theme of the inhumanity in the book "The
Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.
There are many
themes in this book, but I chose inhumanity. The inhumanity in this book really
takes you by surprise the in this story. Though it starts off really like a
small, nice, happy town. It completely changes in the end.
In the beginning the
boys are collecting stones, what I think is just for fun. No, these are weapons
of death. People are ready for the lottery but this isn't just an ordinary
lottery. When you win the lottery it is a good thing, right. No, when you when win you die. They just kill people by
throwing rocks at the person. Also even the little kids would throw rocks at
their own mothers. That is terrible.
The inhumanity in
this book sickens me. It so terrible I don't even know what to say except: What
kind of world do they live in.
This was good explaining the theme and i understood it. Some of the things i would change is to make a thesis and have an intro to at least explain what you are try to talk about and have a conclusion. I would also talk about more themes then just that one.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of theme. I think you could have added more detail. Good job using evidence from the story to back up your statement.
ReplyDeleteNice piece Matt. I also think more detail would have made the piece better but besides that good piece.
ReplyDeletei like the fact that you said that the story starts out happy but ends sad
ReplyDeleteyou need a better title
and how the stones are weapons of death
