Many parts of the tradition have been lost or forgotten as stated by Old Man Warner and the narrator. ]]> 2021-09-27 15:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771522481 oryowe https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771545556 Many things that used to be apart of the lottery tradition have been forgotten by the people that participate in it. This means that they don't actually care about the original tradition and just participate in it because everyone else is. "... some people believed that the official of the lottery used to stand just so when he said or sang it, others believed that he was supposed to walk among the people, but years and years ago this part of the ritual had been allowed to lapse." If the lottery tradition was actually important to the townspeople then they would have tried to keep the original elements of the lottery relevant.]]> 2021-09-27 15:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771545556 oryowe https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771586045 In "The Lottery", many events occur  that prove the townspeople are following an example. For instance the story literally says that the boys are following Bobby Martin's example when they are getting stones. "Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones...". Based on the words used in the sentence from the story, it can be inferred that the other boys only started to gather stones because Bobby Martin was doing it and not because it was necessary for the lottery. ]]> 2021-09-27 15:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771586045 oryowe https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771599726 2021-09-27 15:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771599726 oryowe https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1771709186 The reaping scene in "The Hunger Games" is the scene where the two people from district twelve are selected.

They don't know the actual reason for the Hunger Games.]]> 2021-09-27 23:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1772676322 oryowe https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1774902466 2021-09-28 14:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/oryowe/m7kuo5bm63djll6h/wish/1774902466
