Do you think their willingness to take part in the lottery makes them bad people? Why or why not? scrossway https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/756593644 2020-09-17 18:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/756593644 Do you think the townspeople are influenced by the actions of those around them?

Is the consequence for running worse than being stoned to death? pmarino8 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758701468 2020-09-18 13:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758701468 Do you think they ever feel regret for killing their own people and do you think someone knows thats not why harvests are good or bad? jorussell2 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758713645 2020-09-18 13:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758713645 What do you think they do with the stoned one's body? cwashington27 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758715672 2020-09-18 13:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/758715672 How do you believe the lottery tradition began? apeebles3 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759106073 2020-09-18 15:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759106073 A message in this story is that most people will follow tradition and the majority no matter how barbaric or unnecessary a practice may be. Do you think that this message is still applicable today? gelliott4 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759327015 2020-09-18 16:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759327015 Do you think that Mrs. Hutchinson showing up late to the square was foreshadowing her getting picked for the lottery? kaburnash https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759759449 2020-09-18 17:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/759759449 Do you think that the villagers would have acted the same way if Davy Hutchinson had been picked for the lottery considering he is only a small child? ldeforest https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/760178280 2020-09-18 19:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/760178280 I paragraph 69, it states "Nancy and Bill, Jr., opened theirs at the same time, and both beamed and laughed, turning around to the crowd and holding their slips of paper above their heads" (Jackson). The kids are initially overjoyed that they will not be the victims of this year's lottery. What do you think their reactions were when they realized it was their mother? Do you think they joined in on the stoning? jgarvin3 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/762828250 2020-09-21 02:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/762828250 Why do you think Old Man Warner still supports the Lottery after all these years? https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765871359 2020-09-21 19:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765871359 Why do you think Old Man Warner still supports the Lottery after all these years? sadavis9 https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765875273 2020-09-21 19:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765875273 Do you think that the lottery will end up continuing? kbluteau https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765940644 2020-09-21 20:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/765940644 Why don't the people in the village just stand up for the lottery and go agents it? xablood https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/766146071 2020-09-21 22:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/766146071 What was the original purpose of the lottery? lgingras https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/766187916 2020-09-21 22:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scrossway/g57o310ufird0z5h/wish/766187916
