Hence, certain words that were used would have a darker connotation. In the lottery, the author used their art of words to create the sense of an eerie calmness or compliance with the idea of sacrifice. Then the author uses progressively darker words as we step closer to the resolution. In both stories, the authors use connotation of words to provide feelings to the reader. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386772111 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386772257 2019-09-19 17:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386772257 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386772671

Each of these symbols  symbolize something different. For instance  in "The Lottery", there is a black box that people draw names from and the paper with the black dot gets rocks thrown at them till they die. So i would say the black box symbolizes the unknown, i think this because you don't know what is going to happen to you, or if your name has a black dot on it. Also in "The Hangman" there is a rope that people get Hong from. The rope symbolizes death, i think this because everyone who hangs from it dies. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386772818 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386773445 It was done to show to that this could happen to any group  of people, at any time, in any place.]]> 2019-09-19 17:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386773445 kiefer_neal https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386773899 2019-09-19 17:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386773899 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386774104 I think the author has put no major facts in the article because it helps the reader put it in modern perspective to help them better understand. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386774104 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386774588 Better to say something than to let it go]]> 2019-09-19 17:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386774588 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386775560 2019-09-19 17:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386775560 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386775569 if the characters in each of the stories acted differently then it could've resulted in less deaths. If the charterers in the lottery stood up and said that the lottery was unnecessary and created a pointless death, then the other characters might have realized that the lottery wasn't cool.

I know this because, in “The Lottery” Tessie was the only one that had stood up to the tradition, but over time, she began to be hurt, and eventually, was a target for rocks; if her peers had worked with her, and she had gotten many people to work with her, she may not’ve turned out dead. In “The Hangman”, the final survivor had assumed he wouldn’t be hanged, but when he came up, it was his turn. Him alone couldn’t stop the hangman, when the first man stood up, nobody followed him. With only one person standing up to him, they had eventually assumed nobody could; proving that the authors intention was to teach that many people need to stand up, not just one person. Overall, both texts prove that one of the many shared themes would be that many people need to stand up to stop the overarching evil. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386780422 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386780696 the common theme in the Lottery and The hangman would be that doing nothing solves nothing. This conclusion can be made due to the varies characters wishing to avoid death, but not acting against others deaths or standing up for what is right or ideally moral .]]> 2019-09-19 17:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386780696 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386783097 Julia D

The ending of both the stories could have been different if the characters in the story spoke up. In The Hangman if someone would have spoke up about what the hangman was doing was wrong there would be no deaths in their town. In The Lottery Tessi would not have spoken up for her other friends, but when It was her she realized what they were doing was wrong. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386783097 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386784703 2019-09-19 17:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386784703 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386784708 We think that in both stories that the opening can give the thought that not many people will be harmed due to the actions caused by the antagonist but by specific quotes- such as the hangman claiming that the gallows would be used for whomever served him best- the reader can infer that there could be more than hinted at. Then with the help of rising action, the reader will further believe that there will be more than previously hinted at or there will be more information to be found.]]> 2019-09-19 17:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386784708 kiefer_neal https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386785054 They both use foreshadowing when Tessie makes a big fuss about her husband redrawing, and in the Hangman when the narrator was the last person alive in the town and he was called out to help. When these events happened you could tell that bad things were about to happen for these people. It is important because it keeps your interest and the end of the story so you keep on reading. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386785054 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386785379 I think if every one said that the lottery is bad then they would stop doing it. And the people that thinks it’s good (which was 1 grumpy old man) wouldn’t be able to stop them. And in the hangman, if the people revolted and said that the hangman was a murderer, the hangman would have left or been killed.]]> 2019-09-19 17:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386785379 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386786655 The authors use of imagery is important to the story because it gives you a more clear idea of the setting. In the Hangman the shadow grew more and more each day on the courthouse the shadow represents the deaths in their town so you can get a clearer picture of how often the hanging occurs .
In the lottery in the beginning of the passage it’s starts out by explaining the start of the day which gives you a clear picture of how the day of the lottery would first begin ]]> 2019-09-19 17:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386786655 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386787866 The way both the authors use imagery is by making the objects seem ominous, Like the box and the tree. By making them seem ominous, it shows that they are going to be a part of something bad happening.]]> 2019-09-19 17:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386787866 jackson_korowin https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386788730 I think that the use of imagery helps develop the characters and the setting. In the hangman the use of imagery helps develop how fear is going over the town and people are running away. In the lottery imagery was used to set the scene that was so nice on a sad day. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386788730 kiefer_neal https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386789571 In both stories one of the main charcters die. There is nothing Tessie could have possibly done not to die because she was the unlucky winner of the lottery. In the story The hangman, the main charter talked to the person hanging people. He was hung for speaking up but if he would have said nothing then he may have lived. In conclusion, both charters could have acted different to save their lives. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386789571 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386789633 The common theme in "the lottery"and in "the hangman" is to speak up for what you believe in because in the lottery it shows that no one spoke up for what is right because Tessy didn't see it untill it was her life at steak. In the hangman it was the same thing when the in the hangman no one stood for the last person in the town because there was no one left to say anything against it. ]]> 2019-09-19 17:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386789633 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386790531 2019-09-19 18:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386790531 https://padlet.com/amandafoxflip/cnkmxcewu8hx/wish/386791973 I think they wanted a sense of mystery because if they gave everything away there would be no imagination.

If they would have spoke up then the stories would have had different endings. In the hangman of they all spoke up together to make a change, not nearly as many people would have died. In the lottery the lottery had been going on for so long and it was normal for them to have the lottery, but if people spoke up and tried to change something then the lottery would stop happening and tessie along with a bunch of other people would not have died.
