In the end of the Lottery, when Tessie lost the lottery and everyone began stoning her, it was shocking because they all turned on her.

If they would of been more civil in the lottery Tess wouldn’t of got karma cause she was the one that got stoned and in the hangman if someone wouldbof spoke up or they reject a lot of people could of survive instead of all of them die.

Hannah-  a common theme for both of them that they share is innocent people are killed out of unfairness

In the Hangman the author uses imagery when saying " buckshot eyes" it gives more detail about the character. In the Lottery the author uses imagery to describe the new day "warm summer day, the flowers are blooming."

I think they did this because they're both fictional stories and maybe they didn't want to use realistic names.

Some words were dark, twinkle, not fair, lottery, black, and hangman. These words make me feel like it’s dark because when the authors put twinkle I was thinking of a light in the dark shining and black and dark makes me think of something dark too. Lottery makes me think of money and hangman makes me think of someone being hanged

A common theme in "The Lottery" and "The Hangman" is when something is practiced so much it starts to become accepted. You see this when everyone gathers for "The Lottery" and when no one tried to get away in "The Hangman".

Hangman: the Gallowtree and the golden hemp rope represent death
The Lottery:the Black Box represents tradition

# data[].attributes.body
Symbol in The hangman represented the innocence if the bystanders who were there but not engaged or involved
Symbol in The lottery was the stool and the black box which was they're tradition and loyalty to the cause

The Lottery: "The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles." It kinda upsets me because they're so used to doing that, and the fact that people are expecting her son to do the same.
The Hangman: It was talking about how it was made for the one who served him bested, and the guy was talking about how unfair it was.This made me kinda mad because hes complaining about how he deserved to live, when he let so many others get killed.

i feel that both passages share the the common theme of people need to speak up in order to protect each other. for example in "the lottery" Tessie said "it isn't fair" earlier in the passage Tessie was happy to go to the stoning and when she found out it was her, her viewpoint changed. in "the hangman" NOT FINISHED

# data[].attributes.body
its symbolic to say that it could happen any time, anywhere to any one.

if they spoke up before they were at the point that they were going to get killed. they would have been safe and the others in the towns would have not been killed. they also would have known that what was going on was wrong.

Hangman: the ending would be different if everyone would have stuck together instead of thinking of their selves in that situation. The lottery: instead of killing tesse they could have not with the stones.

# data[].attributes.body
Hangman: the gallows tree represented the inevitable death and overthrowing of the town.
Lottery: the black box represented death. I mean... that's it.

Fear can make choices harder than they have to be. Because in the lottery than hangman states. "I did nothing more than what you let me." And in the lottery " when he arrived in the square carrying the black wooden box there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers."

I think they did this to be vague so it can drive  our imagination to think about imagery and how everything works . It would also put more of a spotlight of the things that are going on around the story and it helps emphasize the themes.

# data[].attributes.body
in the hangman they used it tell who he would kill last. due to their obey the rule In the lottery they used it to  tell what they would do before hand indirectly Such has  and they guard the stone.

The Lottery's author used foreshadowing through symbolism. For example the lottery used rocks and subtle phrases to warn about the future. In the hangman it also uses phrases the presents and suggests shadows that implicate danger. The foreshadowing is important because it gets the reader hooked and leaves us guessing at what might happen .

Landon.S It is important b/c with more effective figurative language it will give you more opportunities to experience somthing in the story as if you were in the lottery and you got picked

The specific use of words created a sense of fear and distress in both the Lottery and The Hangman.

# data[].attributes.body
Hangman: If the different characters acted different, there wouldn't have been so many deaths. If the people stood together and stopped the hangman, the town would still be full of people.
Lottery: the people would have acted a lot different when talking about the lottery, they would be terrified of the day. and just like the hangman, if the people would stand up to the people in charge, the lottery would hit its end.

The theme is speak out before its to late. In the "Hangman" the guy was to scared to speak out until before he was hung. In the "Lottery" Tessie was not worried until they got the black dot and then she said it wasn't fair.

# data[].attributes.body
The  key theme of both stories is tradition because of the hangman tradition of going from town to town to hang everyone for money while the people in the lottery draw from the black box to get stoned.

# data[].attributes.body
hangman: they are very specific about where he puts the gallows tree. they put it right next to court house and with every death, it gets taller and taller, showing that one day, the hang man was going to overthrown the town.
Lottery: when the kids were guarding the rocks.

How they use it is they use imagery to help convey the future like the gallows tree getting bigger. This is important because it makes it more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
in "The Lottery" the author put a very strong image in your head by describing the time and place very detailed, for example, "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." and in "The Hangman", the author represents imagery by describing people and their actions, for example, "The scaffold stood by the courthouse side, only as wide as the door was wide; a frame as tall, or little more than capping still of the courthouse door."

# data[].attributes.body
out of respect and out of fear for the hangman. people were scared to speak their mind because they knew they would get killed.

# data[].attributes.body
If the characters spoke out and acted differently then the worst wouldn't have happen.

I believe that is this is because the author meant to go in on the main idea and theme rather than the extra information. So that as the reader you only realize who the people are, rather than the time and place. Also the fact that there is no name or back round information leaves us questioning and wanting to read more.
