-It is found interesting how the doctor created this creature while he was  aware of the consequences and later in the story resents his creation.
-The author uses descriptive words and some types of figurative language to make the readers think the Frankenstein is the monster when really he is not.
-The author also uses an ironic use of characters traits for Frankenstein. Though he seems big and scary the author uses sensitive and calm traits.

Details in the story that kept our group's interest were:
- The details in the dialogue that portrayed it's emotions and thoughts of the creature turmoil.
- The irony of how in everyone's perspective, for all that have known of the story of Frankenstein, "Frankenstein" has been known to be the green monster but after reading the original story, we realize that Frankenstein is actually the evil doctor and the monster is referred to as the "creature".
- The story was narrated from the point of view of the villainous doctor, Frankenstein.
- The contrast between the creatures outer appearance vs. his actual character. In the beginning of the story, Frankenstein describes the creature as a large being "charging" his way making him seem violent. When reading the creature's dialogue, it is clear he doesn't wish even Frankenstein harm and is quite tenderhearted.

Some techniques that Shelley uses that kept my group interested is...

-The author uses a lot of specific imagery that aids the reader in imagining the scenes, hence keeping them interested in the story.

-She uses the setting of icy mountains to mirror the bleakness of the situation presented in the novel.

-Unlike traditional stories in which the protagonist is the human, in Frankenstein, the monster is the protagonist while the human is actually the antagonist.

-Imagery was used in order to describe the harsh conditions of the mountains in which Dr. Frankenstein met with the monster.
-The monster is given traits that make him seem more human than Dr. Frankenstein himself. Dr. Frankenstein is described as someone consumed with anger who does not have the ability to be compassionate or listen, while the monster patiently describes his life as miserable and how he only seeks peace.
-Simile, Dr. Frankenstein is compared to God while the monster is compared to the fallen angel. Dr. Frankenstein is the creator but still hates his creation after the creation has done nothing.

The story begins as relatively positive and casual but as the story progresses it becomes more serious and suspenseful. Tessies’ distress and reluctance increases as everything progresses creating a sense of dread.

The dialogue interchanged in between the story also affected the overall mood of the story. Their casual exchanges between one another on such an event expresses how they viewed the event as a tradition. even the family for the lottery’s victim did nothing but cheer as they pulled the blank paper and watched & even participated as their mother got pummeled to death by stones

The foreshadowing in the story built up suspense to the event. The piling of the stones, the children clinging to their parents, and the gathering of the villagers around a black box all added suspense as the readers wonder how they will be correlated together later on the story. Later we find out that the stones piled are used to throw at the winner of the lottery in the village after everyone pulls a draw.

Some techniques that Jackson uses that kept my group interested is ...
- The dialogue between characters made it clear that the characters knew what was happening and the readers were kept in the dark, kept guessing with the hints given in the dialogue.
- The beginning of the story held positive associations such as the title being "The Lottery", mentions of festivals, celebrations, clubs, the seasons being bright and warm (summer and spring), etc. Readers are also left wondering why the children were collecting stones, originally left to assume that it must be an innocent task/activity done by the children of the community.
- The middle of the story slowly built up a sense in the readers of anger, anxiety, and uncertainty with a push of things to be done according to rules, showing that the outcomes of the games matter to the community. For example, Tessie Hutchinson was showing anger saying that her husband didn't have enough time to pick the paper, saying that this was unfair. The readers at this point have no idea why Mrs. Hutchinson was pushing this so hard to later understand she was trying to avoid her/her family's death.

-contrast of the happier setting at the beginning of the story to the darker setting at the end.
-false imagery at the start of the story is cut off by the black box, representing how the box is not something to be happy about.
-assumption that the story will be happier by the joking of Mr. Summers as he officiates the lottery.
-More contrast as the townspeople are excited for the event but the person chosen is scared meaning the "reward" is one that is not wanted.

Some techniques that Jackson uses that kept my group interested is...

-The juxtaposition between the beginning and the end of the story. The beginning seemed very light and joyful, whereas the end of the story became very dark and eerie.

-Jackson effectively uses imagery to capture the readers' attention and give them an understanding of the story at the beginning.

-It could be considered foreshadowing when Tessie Hutchinson was exclaiming how unfair it was when her husband was chosen, as in the end, she was the one subjected to death.

-The imagery in the hook of the beginning gives the readers a positive image, but as the story goes on, the story gets darker, which is unexpected by the readers. Keeps readers engaged.
-Simile comparing the lottery positive activities directs the reader into thinking the story is a positive one.
-The precise description of the events allow the readers to easily follow and understand the story.
-Miss Hutchinson's conversation with her husband and Mr. Summers foreshadows her fate at the end of the story.
-Quotes such as how the people in the village "forgot the ritual ad lost the original black box, they still remembered to use the stone" (8). This use of symbolism expresses the villagers, how they do this ritual and kill without actually knowing why they do it, they merely do it out of tradition. Though the details have been forgotten, the tradition was not.

The Lottery (Dory, Christina, Belle, Kelly)
-imagery in the beginning of the story sets the scene as cheerful and pleasant so the reader wonders what could happen
-the positive connotation associated with a lottery causes readers to expect good for the winner
-the gathering of the parents to watch their kids seems foreboding because they smile but do not laugh
-the people of the town have accepted the tradition and fail to question it even though it involves the murder of a family member or friend
-the old man's criticism of the towns that gave up the tradition is concerning because he thinks the killings are acceptable only because they are tradition

# data[].attributes.body
-The contrast of the beginning and end of the story makes the readers hooked

-The people in the village "forgot the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stone" (8). The violence of the tradition is remembered, but the meaning behind it is forgotten.

-The way Mrs. Hutchinson reacts to their family being drawn makes the readers curious and adds suspense.

-Children and older people are desensitized to the tradition since it has been going on for so long.

-The old man is angry for people who abandon this tradition also makes the story interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
- Suspense created by detailed description of the process of drawing slips of paper without informing the reader of the purpose

- Irony created between the joyful reactions of the characters and the indicated purpose of the lottery revealed at the end (Ms. Hutchinson jokes about her husband being chosen, but says its unfair when she is chosen)

- Contrast between extensive imagery about the look/purpose of the box and the brief description of Ms. Hutchinson being stoned is jarring and creates a lot of shock and creates a feeling of nonchalance in the townspeople associated with being tasked with killing someone

Chopin kept us interested by starting the story off with a piece of information that catches our eye and foreshadows the outcome of the story. She also shows the character's happiness and dreams then ruining them right after. The character also has a mood swing and reacts abnormally to the news of her husband's death.

Some techniques that Chopin uses that kept my group interested is the way she vaguely described the woman's emotions after her husband's death and gradually became more specific.

In addition, we found it interesting how she was able to easily integrate conflicting events, emotions, themes of joy and death.

Lastly, we were interested by the way the author did not follow the traditional story arc. The story seemed to end off with the climax instead of concluding at the resolution.

Some techniques that Chopin uses that kept my group interested is...
-The irony between feeling joy and the death of her husband.
- The hook in the beginning sharing the detail to readers that she has a heart problem and that her husband died was interesting to see be put together.
- The imagery of Mrs. Mallard paying attention to the scenery around her such as the blue sky, the birds chirping, and saying that she's looking forward to the spring and summer, the bright days, ahead. This imagery that is commonly associated with positive feelings gave our group confusion, making us pay attention with interest as the story unfolded.

Chopin uses irony to express contrast to usual behavior of grief or sorrow. She ends the story with the climax sort of like a cliff hanger. She also uses uncommon techniques in her writing, such as bright adjectives to describe dark events.

# data[].attributes.body
The metaphor of heart disease being compared to joy is very interesting, as they should be opposite things, heart disease should not bring joy. Mentioning heart at the beginning and only letting it impact the end also helps build suspension, as readers wonder what the heart disease is going to do. Chopin also uses repetition, the repeated use of the word "free" emphasizes the emotions Mrs. Mallard goes through, and help the readers stay engaged by questioning what Mrs. Mallard is free from. (this is why the mental health petition is SUSTAINED)

The fact that the female protagonist is happy when she heard the news of her husbands death is what kept my group interested. Furthermore, the author uses a lot of imagery to show us what Mrs. Mallard is really thinking.
