I honk that that people old have stayed alive and they would have a stronger relationship between their community. I agree with Jonah because we both think that more people would have lived if they would have stood up for what’s right. I agree with Makayla because of people now a day don’t stand up for what’s right and this can strongly relate to these stories and how people loose their life’s because people don’t stand up for what’s right. What are all of the outcomes that could have happened if people would have stood up for what’s right?  Would they have had a better bond/ relationship between each other in the community if they stood up for what’s right?

cadence and Jonah both pointed out that they think that many lives would have been saved if the characters deiced to stand up for there selves

i would like to compare and contrast with what cooper said and what Katie said. I think both are important because they both have a proper reason why there is not any specific things in the setting. Katie points out how it is not a real event and cooper says that it could distract from the real theme.

I think worry because like it seemed for the lottery that it would have been good and it wasn’t and in the hangman it just was out of the blue this guy hangs people

What is the equivalent of the hangman in the lottery story?

# data[].attributes.body
Jack Su should elaborate on that

I agree with you Cooper because I feel like the story uses alot of representation

The phrase, "gallows tree", was used in The Hangman, and it made me feel like maybe the gallows tree represents more than a noose and Is something that ends up driving the people in the town mad, to the point of death.

Sarah, I think you could also talk about more the concept on the word "murder." You were talking about how it inspired fear, but maybe you could give some examples of how it did, so it's more clear.

If the ending had been changed, it's possible that some will survive from the hangman. In the lottery, less people could have died, sure, but it could have also turned out that more died. They could have, for example, objected and caused them to be punished.

For the lottery, a good word is mob mentality because everyone gangs up on the person who has the black dot and nobody speaks up. For the hangman, excessive is a good word because the hangman was killing a lot of people with no reason.

so like the smell of blood makes me worried about the rest of tht

A piece of symbolism from The Hangman is the hangman's shadow because when he was going to kill someone from the town, his shadow appeared. One symbol in the lottery is the black box because its where they draw names of whos gonna get stoned.

In the lottery the author uses foreshadowing in many ways including the hushed whispering of the crowd. There is also foreshadowing present in the hangman such as the gallows growing. Also Murd.

when the hangman said he was just stretching you could suspect that he was planning on killing more people. and for the lottery it talked about how the boys gathered up stones. someone was probably about to get stoned based on the tone of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The stories don't talk about the town or the place because they are not important and it would distract readers from the story

If people had stood up to the hangmen and supported the one who actually did stand up multiple lives would have been saved. And if Tessie in the lottery had shown people how this is wrong before she had known she was picked for the stoning, people may have considered what she was saying and possibly stopped and rejected the "lottery"

I think that if there was a different ending more people would have lived. They also would have had a stronger community and connection between each other.

One symbol from the hangman is the hangman's shadow because whenever he was going to hang someone his shadow is shown. One symbol in the lottery is the black dot because it shows who is going to die.

In "The Hangman" the author uses the words, "buckshot eyes." It gives more detail about the character. Buckshot means rough and thorough, so this gives the imagery of rough and tough eyes. This develops the character as a rough/tough person, as he probably glares a lot, and his eyes obviously intimidate the people of the town. In "The Lottery" the author writes, "The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." This shows extreme peace and nature of the setting, and sets the mood to be happy, making you want to read more, to find out why there is such peace and quiet during a lottery.

In the Lottery, if the people would have not thrown the stones then Mrs. Hutchinson would have been alive. In the Hangman, if more people would have stood up against the Hangman then he would not have killed as many people.

One symbol from the Lottery is the black box. This is a box that has been used for ever draw of paper on who is going to get stoned. It is important because it is a big part of the tradition of stoning. One symbol from the hangman is the gallows tree. This is where everyone got hung and it shows the bad things it can do and how no stood up for there freedom to not get hung.

In both story's they were filled with symbolism. First off in the lottery the symbolism is shown in the black box. The box stood for tradition showing what hey always have done and what they always will do. In the Hangman I think that one was the rope. The rope stood for death.

The word boisterous in The Lottery makes me think of a noisy crowd and helps the setting make sense. When they say twinkle in the buckshot eye, it makes me think of eerie person, who is mysterious.

Gallows is a word consistently used throughout the hangman poem. This made us feel very creeped out. Murder is also a very fear inspiring word, unlike murd, murders smaller cousin.

The common theme in the Lottery and Hangman is nothing will change if no one will do anything about it.  The hangman says that, "And he laid his hand on the one's arm, And we shrank back in quick alarm, And we gave him way, and no one spoke Out of the fear of his Hangman's cloak. The Lottery states, " Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. 'It isn't fair,' she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.

Foreshadowing the boys playing with the stones tells us what the story is about without even actually saying it. It was very sudden and was good. In the hangman, the description of the smell in the air really set the tone for what the hangman was all about.

I believe this was done on purpose because this was not a historical event. Although there may have been events in the past that this resembled, there was nothing that this was the exact replica of.

# data[].attributes.body
If you don't stand up for what you believe, bad things will happen. From The Hangman, "Then we fell silent, and stood amazed" They didn't speak up. From The Lottery, “It isn’t fair, it isn’t right,” Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her."
