Because it is the main way the story is foreshadowed and plays a big part in the outcome. The tradition is very old and used like the box, yet there is still no way to rid of the tradition. 
2. The purpose of the lottery in the village is to keep the tradition of growing crops going. They still participate in it because they believe everyone else is doing it so they feel obligated to.  
3. Because no one will actually stand up and say stop. 
4. One event that sticks out is the holocaust. They knew that their death would be worse if they didn't follow the orders. 
5. They are probably 50/50. Like most people they don't mind it until it affects themselves. 
6. Cause a distraction until we had the chance to get away. 
7. It was a surprise. We all thought something odd would happen in the village but not something this crazy and deathly. 
8. No, because we have laws against situations like this. 
9. In our society when we hear lottery we think of money but also like relating to the story, luck. Like you would lucky to win today's lottery and lucky to loose the lottery presented in the story. 
10. We think it foreshadows the right for standing up for what you believe in. 
11. A story like this can be inferred in many ways. And hearing other ideas and inputs just furthers our knowledge of things we may have missed or not understood. ]]> 2016-09-27 13:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126644880 syoungblood2 https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645088 1.) they spent alot of time because it was a big part of the tradition and after they lost it , it was like they lost part of the tradition . 
2.) the purpose was to see who was to be sacraficed for the crops .

In the beginning of the short story, the reader doesn't think that the lottery would be as dark as it really is, so the box shows that there is some bad in this "lottery"
2. The lottery is made to make sure the crops grow. the people participate in it because everyone does.
3.  It is such a long tradition because everyone is afraid to fight against the lottery. what if they decide to quit the lottery and then the crops fails.
4.I don't think I have anything in real life that I could compare it to.
5.The older people in the village fell it is a great tradition and it should continue. however, the younger people don't really like the tradition. It frightens them.
6. I would've ran. she could've ran
7. I was a little shocked by the ending. she dies in such a brutal way. It had a wicked twist. I don't believe it should've ended that way.
8. I don't think this could take place in my community. i believed anyone in their right mind would find this tradition outrageous.
9. It confused me because when you hear "lottery" you think money or good fortune. i didnt think at all that she was going to get beat to death with rocks.
10. It is okay to be different  and stray from your ways, sometimes it needs to be done.
11. i beleive we're on the same page and we all belive this tradition is crazy.]]> 2016-09-27 13:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645119 https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645141 1. They spent so much time describing the black box it resembled death.
2. They started this because they believe that it made the crops grow.
3. They still participate in it because no one wants to break the tradition, so they are pressured into it.
4. ]]> 2016-09-27 13:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645141 https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645486 1. It gives a more suspenseful and mysterious feel to it, as well as it does help reflect on the tradition.
2. They think/believe that if you were to sacrifice a person once a year so help bring "good crops" or help them grow better. This is simply based off of religion and tradition.
3. The villagers are just so used to the ways of their tradition that they either don't want change but are afraid of change itself.
4. The holocaust. In both situations people were killed based off of religious belief.
5. They are mostly at part with the tradition, except when it become one of them in which they do feel that their tradition is indeed broken.
6.  Ran, we would be scared as well as would have had an easier way to escape and survive.
7. We were surprised
8. No, we are not nearly as primitive as these villagers.
9. We had thought that it was most likely like or at least similar to ours in way that the reward would be in place at the end of the lottery. But the way the story portrayed it had brought a different thought to mind unlike our initial idea of the lottery.
10. Yes, to stand up for yourself and others.
11. It has not changed our ideas and thoughts from the perception of others. ]]> 2016-09-27 13:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645486 https://padlet.com/skondro1/ouem6l6nbvms/wish/126645643 1. It was the main thing in the story that had a big part

4.
5. They feel pressured about it because everyone is doing it

4.The hunger games and how they get pick to go into a battle knowing they will most likely die.
