Text Evidence: "It's not the way it used to be, " Old Man Warner said clearly.

But you win death, though people knew it was wrong they all still participated. That is why our theme is "don't always think about yourself think about others as well." Because as long as it wasn't them no one was complaining. In the text you read this quote specifically "It's not fair" after she began to talk about how it wasn't fair and demanded a redo.  At the time she was thinking about herself and her family.  even though everyone had the same chances.  It was completely fair.]]> 2018-02-21 20:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/o4nopea17q0y/wish/233971711 ari, yas https://padlet.com/bloomfield/o4nopea17q0y/wish/233971947 Sometimes fairness isn't enough to make something right because others don't feel the same way.

They felt like if they didn't have a sacrifice that the whole town would go downhill . We feel that most people deep down know that this wasn't right . 

"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her.


"They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery."]]> 2018-02-21 20:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bloomfield/o4nopea17q0y/wish/233972637 Ismael and bri 228010 https://padlet.com/bloomfield/o4nopea17q0y/wish/233974253
The kids killed there own mother by throwing  stones just because of a lottery . So its neccery t change things if it dosent benift anyone 
"The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson a few pebbles."
    

This reminds us of when the son killed his dad for bread, then he got killed for bread, from the book Night.
