In ( The Lottery) by Shirley Jackson, Mr. Summers (the person who runs the lottery) should be considered a bad character, the text states, “Mr. Summers said, "that was done pretty fast, and now we've got to be hurrying a little more to get done in time." This shows that Mr. Summers is considered a evil person because he created a game that kills innocent people who win the lottery, and the whole town has to participate in this dangerous game which is savage because people can go crazy while playing the lottery. Therefore, Mr. Summers should be considered a bad person and a bad character.

Mr.Summers from "The Lottery" should be considered a bad character because he is the one running the lottery and letting people get killed. Since he is the one running the lottery then he is the one that can end it and stop the killings but doesn't want to because he likes what he is doing so that what makes him a bad character. In the text it states " Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head." This shows how Mr.Summers is letting this happen and watching while he can stop this and stop the whole tradition of the lottery and stop all the killing but doesn't. This is why Mr.Summers is a bad character.

My claim.

sharmined — 2021-04-08 12:49:12 UTC

I think Mr.Summers should be considered a bad character because he hosted a lottery that was the reason of many killings and people getting injured. He is allowing people to get killed, which makes him a bad character. A girl named Tessie "won" the lottery and she claimed "it wasn't fair" in the text and I agree with her. People plummet you with rocks when you "win". You are putting your life on the line and risking it because some "lottery" said so? That's a crazy excuse for being murdered. This isn't a lottery where you earn and gamble money. You are gambling your life. Therefore, Mr.Summers should be considered a bad person.

I think Adolf Eichmann should be considered a bad person because of all the things he did as a Nazi. In the text, "How the Nazi's defense of 'just following orders' plays out of the mind. It states, "as a last-ditch effort for clemency, Holocaust
organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers
were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility
for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors." In this section of the text, it still shows on what Eichmann's results from his action of killing millions of Jews, which is shown that Eichmann should be a bad person.

My Claim

Elijahemmauelp — 2021-04-08 13:02:05 UTC

Mr. Summer in the story "The Lottery" is a bad person because it was his ticket or lottery and it was taken from him and he is just letting it happen and not doing anything to stop it.

organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers
were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person because of the bad things that he had done as a Nazi.In the text "How The Nazi's Defense Of Just Following Orders Plays Out Of Mind". The text states"Shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors".On this part of the text it shows Adolf Eichmann results to his bad decisions of the killing of the poor innocent Jews but, he didn't just make one Jewish person die instead millions of them.He didn't act in a civilized way the stuff he did to those Jewish people is so horrific. How can a person be so cruel this shows how much hatred that Adolf had towards the Jews.To sum up Adolf Eichmann is considered a savage person.

Mr. summers from " The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson should be considered a bad character because he is the person who helping in the lottery about sacrificing people for other people. In the text it states," When he arrived in the square,
carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation
among the villagers, and he waved and called, “Little late today, folks.”
The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three-legged
stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers
set the black box down on it." This shows how Mr. Summers is in charge of the lottery and yet he doesn't take a stand of protesting against this. He wants people to pick some one and putting everyone life at risk if your the person who was chosen. Therefore, Mr, Summers should be considered a bad person.

Adolf Eichmann is a savage person his violent tendencies are that of a wild animal he uses his brain for chaos and his own order he may not see himself as savage because he believes what he does is justified and for the sake of order when its the opposite and by using his intellect he shifted blame of all his crimes to his superior's as stated in the text "Shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors"

he uses his talent and skills for bad and for chaos and that's what makes him savage and evil

tessie hutchinson from the lottery by shirley jackson should be considered a savage person because she joined the lottery not being mindful about the consequences of if she got chosen and when she entered the lottery fairly just like everyone else she got chosen she exclaims, “It wasn’t fair!” This refrain continues as she is selected and subsequently stoned to death, but instead of listening to her, the villagers ignore her. the reason she is savage is that if she did not get chosen she would have been stoning someone else to death even i she needed money for her family it is never okay to stone someone to death for money.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered as a savage person because of certain decisions he had made and the way he was and things he done to the society and never changed to do better. in the text it states "holocaust organizer Adolf eichmann wrote that he and other low level officers were "forced to serve as mere instruments<" "shifting the responsibility for the death of millions of jews on his superiors" this evidence from the text shows that adolf eichmann bad decisions and negative responsibility such as killing.

ivettes11 — 2021-04-08 13:39:28 UTC

Mr. Summer from "They lottery", should be seen as a civilized person because he expresses himself very well. In the story it states, "Mr. Summers was very good at all this; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans, with one hand resting carelessly on the black box, he seemed very proper and important as he talked interminably to Mr. Graves and the Martins." This evidence mean the villagers express a good thought towards Mr. Summers.

The narrator from "Picture of Childhood" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a good character because he was feeling guilty for not being able to do anything. In the poem 7th stanza it states, "
I can’t remember-how many there were, making a din,
beating him up.
It may have been a hundred, it may have been more,
but I, just a boy, wept for shame."
That proves he was feeling guilty because he could not stand up against people who was doing wrong thing. This is a quality of a good character. Therefore narrator should be considered a good character.

In “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, in page 10, the text states, " “All right, folks,” Mr. Summers said. “Let’s finish quickly.”... Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head."
In this quote we can see how Mr. Summers does not care about the slightest thing, knowing what the result will be, and how cruel the tradition he celebrates can be, making the character of Mr. Summers see as a bad character, where he continues tradition as a divine mandate and cause the death of a person, showing us that when a person is too devoted to something or someone, he can become mean and cruel.

Mr.summers in the story “The Lottery “by Shirley Jackson should be considered a bad character because Mr. summers didn’t take his time to choose who was going to be in the lottery he didn’t play if fare .For example in the story “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head”.In this section of the story,Mr summer had picked Tessie for the Lottery even though she was the lottery was not picked fairly but they still decided to throw rocks at her.This relates to why Mr.summers should be considered a bad Character because he listened to what other people was saying and he was not even following the rules to the lottery.There for Mr.summers should be considered a bad character.

whitneyp13 — 2021-04-08 14:24:57 UTC

Mr.Summers is a bad character because he runs the lottery. In "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson it states “Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box”, this shows how Mr.Summers has always wanted to play the lottery. Also knowing what the lottery contains of, his actions of frequently wanted to park take in the lottery is mad,brainsick, and crazy. Mr. Summers can be considered a very bad character because he feens to play deadly games.

Some people believe that Ms.Hutchinson should not be considered as a civilized character .For example , the text “The Lottery” by Shirley jackson states ,”It's Tessie," Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. "Show us her paper. Bill." . In this section of the text Ms hutchinson was being chosen for the lottery which is a sacrifice ritual and a superstition believed by the villagers .Although she knew what the consequences will be if someone gets chosen and how an innocent will have to give up his/her life she willingly decided to participate .This relates to why Ms.Hutchinson shouldn’t be considered a civilized character because of her evil decisions and cruelty judgement .She could have refrained herself or protest to end such a foul tradition but she was being selfish herself .

Adolf Eichmann presents a clear definition of savagery. With being responsible for millions of lives, he is seen as this ordinary man that didn't seem capable of doing something like this. For example, in the text "“All there is to know about Adolf Eichmann" by Leonard Cohen it states "What did you expect? Talons? Oversized incisors? Green saliva." This shows how he is being compared to unrealistic things as it seems very surprising that he was capable of doing such an act. With being an ordinary man, he was capable of being a major organizer of the Holocaust and organized the deaths of nearly 6 million people during WW2. Therefore, Adolf Eichmann presents a clear definition of savagery.

Jocelyn Chen

jocelync123 — 2021-04-08 14:28:04 UTC

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person because even though he looked like a averaged everyday middle-aged white man, he in truth was the person who planned the death of nearly 6 million innocent people. According to the text “All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann”
by Leonard Cohen it states, "NUMBER OF FINGERS:………….Ten
NUMBER OF TOES……………….Ten" These lines express how Adolf Eichmann had features and a person would expect a normal person to have. His psychical features made it look like he was a normal innocent work man. Regardless, he still planned the death of innocent people just because they performed their own religion. He was selfish and disregarded other people. Hence proves that Adolf Eichmann is a savage person and should be known as one too.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person because of all the bad things he had done. In the text "How The Nazi's Defense Of Just Following Orders Plays Out Of Mind" by PBS.org it states, "Shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors." This quote shows that Adolf Eichmann made bad decisions of killing Jews. Adolf Eichmann didn't make one person to kill the Jews, he got many people to come and kill the Jews. These actions don't show us a civilized action. It shows us a more evil and savage action. Just because you hate someone so much doesn't mean you can kill them and get away with it. Therefore, Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person because of all the bad things he had done.

joshuaf269 — 2021-04-08 14:28:18 UTC

Some people may believe that Adolf Eichmann's actions are excusable because "he was just following orders". In the text “How the Nazi’s defense of ‘just following orders’ plays out in the mind” - By PBS.org it states, "“as a last-ditch effort for clemency, Holocaust organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were forced to serve as mere instruments.” Even if this statement from Adolf Eichmann is true and that he and other officers were forced to serve under the higher ranking individuals it does not excuse his actions and involvement in the planning of the holocaust, if he helped plan the holocaust for his own self-interest then it is a very selfish thing to do and his statement does not excuse his actions. In conclusion, it is clear that Adolf Eichmann's actions are inexcusable.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person, because he is responsible for the deaths of millions of jews. In the text, "How the Nazi’s defense of just following orders’ plays out in the mind", by PBS.org it states that, "he and other low-level officers
were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors." This quote shows that Adolf Eichmann, thinks that he is not responsible for these deaths and that he should not be taken into account for them because he did not oder these actions to be done. But he is wrong, he is also part of the crime and there is nothing he can do to bring back those lives because he already helped killed them. The actions he helped achieved does not show a civilized person, because a civilized person would always help take care of their communities and would never hate on a group of people so badly that it got to the point that they wanted to kill them. Adolf Eichmann is trying to get ways with his actions by blaming it on someone else, but the truth is he took part in the killing of millions of jews in the Holocaust and there is nothing he can do to bring all those innocent lives back. Therefore, it is very clear that Adolf Eichmann's actions are inexcusable and that he is a savage person.

Some people believe that Mr. Summers should not be seen as an evil character in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, however there are multiple pieces of evidence that backs up the fact that Mr. Summers is a psychopath and is an evil character. One piece of evidence that backs up the fact that Mr. Summers should be seen as an evil character, “Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office”. This quote states that Mr. Summers had actually made the piece of paper that marks the winner of the lottery. But as the winner is the one who gets stoned to death, it is basically the same as plotting a murder. It is even possible to associate a murderer with a gun to Mr. Summers, with a pencil, as a gun is the weapon that marks one’s death, the pencil that marks the paper, also marks one's death. Therefore you can say that Mr. Summers is basically a killer, who orchestrates someone’s death. Also, this quote relays the fact that Mr. Summers owns the coal company. This shows that because Mr. Summer has a high status and is respected, no one would want to stand up to Mr. Summer and argue against the Lottery as he encourages it. This can also show how he is psychopathic, because he thinks before he does. Most psychopaths have extremely high iqs, and they usually come up with a good plan before they do anything. Thus, Mr. Summers becomes respected and owns a large and powerful company before he encourages a new way of the lottery, as in paper slips which he is able to ‘rig’. In conclusion, we see that Mr. Summers is a possible psycho who wants people to die, based on evidence that is given to us through the short story.

The narrator from the novel “Picture of Childhood” - By Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a bad character as the did nothing to stop the fight nor did they have good intentions, they came to see the mob beat up the man as a form of entertainment, in the following sentences found in lines 1-4 the author writes “Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to the uproar,” this clearly demonstrates the lack of remorse or empathy that the narrator and other kids show, they don’t care at all about the well being of the victim and are in a rush to to “miss the show”, my stance can be solidified in lines 5-6 where the author writes “scooping up water in our felt boots and forgetting to wipe our sniffles.” This proves how their intentions are flawed and are part of the problem and In result apart of the mob, he was so focused in getting their he forgot his standard and basic manners, once again this shows how the narrator is flawed and not a good person, just because someone didn’t partake in the action doesn’t immediately make him a saint or save him from his sins, he is still in the wrong

Mr. Summers should be considered a bad person because he let countless people die when they’re chosen from the Lottery, and he doesn’t stop it. For instance, “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.” This shows that Mr. Summers watched Tessie die and didn’t do anything about it.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage man because he was apart of the Holocaust which brought many death to the Jews . For example, In the text “Who was adolf Eichmann” it states “ Thereupon he organized the identification, assembly, and transportation of Jews from all over occupied Europe to their final destinations at Auschwitz and other extermination camps in German-occupied Poland.”. This piece of evidence demonstrates Eichmann being a savage man where he was a part of the Jews execution, he may have not killed them directly, but helped the execution happen. Yet he claimed it was just orders from his boss when he should’ve known something was wrong. Therefore this is why adolf eichmann is a savage man .

The narrator from "Picture of Childhood" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a good person. Many believe he should be considered a bad person. However people who believe he's a bad person need to analyze the ending more. The narrator made bad actions however those actions opened his eyes and made him realize his mistakes. In the beginning of the story he seems happy and joyful not wanting to miss the fight. As it says "Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it!". However there's a major change at the end where he says "It may have been a hundred, it may have been more,
but I, just a boy, wept for shame.
And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one!". At the start he found it entertaining that someone was getting beaten up but when arriving he realized how horrible the scene was. He even felt ashamed for wanting to see it in the first place. Unlike the adults in the story they had no shame beating one person with at least a hundred. However a boy acted more mature than they did. He refused to join in and felt ashamed.

Adolf Eichmann is a terrible, savage person because of all the terrible things he has done throughout his life. In All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann - By Leonard Cohen, Leonard explains, “What did you expect? Talons? Oversize incisors? Green saliva? Madness?" Adolf Eichmann looked like any normal human being even Leonard established that, but he did hurt tons of people and put on a fake mask in public. Adolf didn’t show to be crazy or look like a monster at all. This information has led me to conclude that, although Eichmann looked “normal” he was still capable of doing such a terrible deed. I also believe that Adolf Eichmann is even more of a savage because he hid his savagery through a mask and didn’t admit it until there was evidence that he committed those crimes. Adolf Eichmann is and will forever be known as a terrible, savage person because of all the terrible crimes he has done.

Amena Mammadov

amenam — 2021-04-08 16:56:13 UTC

The narrator is a good character because he did not interact and join the fight where the man was being beaten up, instead he just felt bad for the man while he chose not to interfere with the fight. For example, stanza 7 lines 3-7 of the poem “The Pictures of Childhood” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko states, “It may have been a hundred, it may have been more,/but I, just a boy, wept for shame./And if a hundred are beating somebody up,/howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause-/I will never make one hundred and one!” It is seen in this section of the text, Yevteshenko wrote how the narrator had seen as much as 100 people hurting the man which is something very traumatic for a child to experience. He knew that even if there was a good cause for it, he would never join to hurt the man. The fight could have affected the narrator to feel bad about the man getting hurt, which could have made him stay away as others kept hurting the victim. The narrator was probably impacted by what he witnessed as he seemed to be scared but confident that he will not get in with the mob of savage people, especially because he was a child who had an innocent mind rather than a violent one. This clarifies why the narrator would be classified as a good character because those who stay out of the trouble or cause less trouble will usually be the most effective to the issue rather than those who follow others negative actions. Those who are like the narrator that never followed others to participate in the fight are the most mature in society. Therefore, the narrator should be considered a good character because he never participated in the fight.

Ms.Hutchinson should not be considered a civilized character because she encouraged and engaged in a lottery that ends in the death of people in her own town that she knows and continues to justify it by calling it a ritual. For example the text “The lottery” by Shirley Jackson states, “ voices began to say, “It’s Hutchinson. It’s Bill,” “Bill Hutchinson’s got it.”... Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly,Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers, “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!”“Be a good sport, Tessie,” Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs. Graves said,“All of us took the same chance.”“Shut up, Tessie,” Bill Hutchinson said”. In this portion of the text it illustrates how Ms.Hutchinson believed that the lottery she participated in that was going to kill someone in the town was fair as someone stated that they all took the same chance. Soon later it was revealed that she felt it was unfair when her husband got chosen. Any civilized person would have the ability to act like a normal human being and be well-mannered and see that something was wrong with the lottery that they do, she would have spoken up about before a name was even chosen to show courtesy and sense. In this case it shows how savage she is because she was ok with the lottery and murdering someone until it came to her family and was very inconsiderate to other people for her own ego. Being uncivilized is defined as someone who is barbaric demonstrating the behavior and actions of Ms.Hutchinson as she believed this concept of killing someone to be ok for everyone else including children with no regrets until her husband was chosen. She displayed characteristics of a person who lacked restraints to act civil and well mannered in a situation where people are doing wrong things. A civilized person would care about the lives of everyone because they are socially, culturally, and morally advanced. As seen in this case Ms.Hutchinson lacks all these characteristics and relates to an uncivilzed person or a wild animal that can be involved in a murder. Therefore Ms.Hutchinson should not be considered a civilized person.

Jeremy Alexis Hernandez

Ms.Hutchinson from Shirly Jackson’s “The Lottery” should be seen as an uncivilized character. In Page 8 of “The Lottery” by Shirly Jackson, it states,”Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said”. This quote conveys that Ms.Hutchinson was the winner of the lottery but was going against the idea and prize of the lottery. I can infer that Ms.Hutchinson didn’t care about the prize of the lottery because she thought that she nor her family would be chosen.It may be seen as Ms.Hutchinson saying that the lottery isn’t fair just for her sake. She must be saying in order to avoid what is coming and wouldn’t give a second thought if it was someone else. Ms.Hutchinson can be defined as selfish which isn’t very civil but she is a victim as well.

He is a good character because he didn’t join the fight to hurt the man. The thing is just that he had a very bad childhood as we learned a lot from him. According to the text it states, "You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to the uproar, scooping up water in our felt boots and forgetting to wipe our sniffles." The reason why this quote was chosen was because it was to support the fact that he was actually innocent rather than him being violent and attacking someone.

Some people think that the narrator from “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a good character for not involving himself with the gang's cruel, violent, inhumane actions. In the text ““Picture of Childhood” - By Yevgeny Yevtushenko it states “And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one!” This means the boy will not participate in the mob beating. This line reveals that our character is not going to fall for peer pressure and he refuses to inflict harm on others. He refuses to become that one hundred and one person beating on the dude on the floor. He is being civilized by not helping the mob beat the man. If he joined the mob in the beating then I would have considered him to be a bad character, but he didn’t. He didn’t want to put the man in anymore pain. There was already enough people beating on the man, so the narrator involving himself will be unnecessary and involving himself won’t bring any good to the narrator, so he didn’t involve himself. That’s why he is a good character. Therefore the narrator from “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, should be considered a good character.

Should the narrator from “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, be considered a good character? Yes, I absolutely do think that the narrator from “picture of childhood” should be recognized as a good character throughout the poem. The story has a lot of connections to real world problems but besides from that the character gives the reader a good example of what a civilized character is in a story. In the story “Picture of childhood” an example of the narrator being shown as civilized or good is when it says “i can remember how many there were there, making a din, beating him up. It may have been a hundred, it may have been more, but I, just a boy, wept for shame. And if a hundred are beating someone up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause - i will never make one hundred and one!” what this shows about the character is that he's is the only one thinking in a civilized way because even if the person being beat up has done something wrong there are many other people that kept joining to beat the man but the narrator has a civilized mindset making him a good character for not wanting to join the people. Therefore in conclusion, i still believe that the narrator of the story “picture of childhood” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is to be considered to be a good civilized character.

Mr. Summer is a bad character because he continues doing the lottery when he knows someone will end up dying. “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.” This shows how Mr. Summer just stand by and watch people killed Tessie without hesitating. This shows why I think Mr. Summer is a bad character.

Adolf Eichmann is a savage person because hw was a nazi.In the text of ''How The Nazis Defense Of Just Following Orders Plays Out Of Mind ''It states ''The text states"Shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors"On this part it shows how Adolf is a bad person and he's very selfish and not that kind person he seems to be.The hatred Adolf had to Jews shows how bad and savage of a person he was.

Mr.Summers is considered a bad character in "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson because of his cruelness and savagery.For example, in the text it says, "Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box."
This shows how Mr.Summers is encouraging over the lottery and he is passionate about it."Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones." This shows how although the lottery box isn't the same and there is now a change, it won't change them from using stones to corner the chosen person and stone them to death.Therefore, this is how Mr. Summers from the lottery is a bad character.

Mr Summers should be considered a bad person because he is the one that started the lottery. In "The lottery" it states that "When he arrived in the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called, “Little late today, folks.”This evidence shows that that he came to town the with the idea of having the lottery.He was the one with the idea of the lottery and now people are getting stoned because of his crazy idea .

Mr. Summers should be considered the bad guy in the story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson due to his wicked actions. Mr. Summers should be the one responsible for many deaths involving the lottery which is held each year as a tradition amongst the villagers. Taking the death of Tessie Hutchinson, having rocks and pebbles thrown at her while she cried out loud pleading justice for her life meanwhile Mr. Summers stood aside without any guilt. For this cause, Mr. Summers should be held accountable for his wicked actions. I hereby persuade Mr. Summers to cancel the lottery for those who come in the next generations not to be influenced by such a vile tradition.

Some people believe that the narrator of “Picture of childhood.” should be considered good. For example, it states in the text “And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one!” (“Picture of Childhood) This piece of evidence shows how everyone around him was acting savagely being compared to wild wolfs ganging up on one person but the narrator refused. They proved that they were a good person by not being a part of the savage act. You can characterize the person as civil. Therefore the narrator should be considered a good person.

Mr summers should be considered a bad character in the lottery by Shirley Jackson because he just wants it done and doesnt care, for example in the text it states “ Mr. Summers was very good at all this; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans, with one hand resting carelessly on the black box, he seemed very proper and important as he talked interminably to Mr. Graves and the Martins.” As you see he was getting ready, he wanted to start the lottery knowing that a person has to get stoned to death by the villagers. He was also demonstrating by his behaviour that he didn't care,because the author describes him as careless, he wasn't nervous, he wasn't frightened. Mr summers didn't even try to stop the lottery. So this proves how he should be considered a bad character because he knows that someone has to die when they win the lottery and he still continues to conduct such event, which can prove he is wicked and bad.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage and uncivilized person because he has murdered millions of people. The text "How the Nazi’s defense of ‘just following orders’ plays out in the mind" by Joshua Barajas states, "...Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors," this shows that even though he himself killed those millions of Jews, organized the Holocaust, and had no regard for their lives, he was not even capable of taking responsibility for his mistakes and showed no empathy for the people he killed. Therefore, Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage and uncivilized person.

I believe that Yevgeny should be considered as a good character because he was in shock. For example, in the text “Picture of Childhood” - By Yevgeny Yevtushenko”, it states “I can’t remember-how many there were, making a din, beating him up. It may have been a hundred, it may have been more, but I, just a boy, wept for shame.” In this specific part, The narrator was in shock and wept for shame, This shows that his by standing made him realize he could’ve done something but was afraid to stand up for himself and for the person getting beaten up. This relates to why Yvengeny should be a good character because of his realization of his mistakes. Many times doing the right thing is hard for a person to do. So he is a good character.

Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person due to his action. According to “How the Nazi’s defense of ‘just following orders’ plays out in the mind” it states " shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors. " Adolf Eichmann has killed many people in his life possibly millions. There is no going back from what he has done with the holocausts since he is the one who organized it. He could not take the responsibility's for his actions and he forced those millions of death onto his superiors but he was the who killed those Jews millions of family's, who he did not care of or dreamed of seeing alive. He is a cold hearted persona and cold murderer which shows he is a savage person.

Great job for everyone in following the sentence starters:

The narrator from the poem "Picture of Childhood" - by Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a bad character as he did nothing to help or had any intentions to disperse the fight or call someone to help the man being brutally being beaten. For example, in the poem "Picture of Childhood" - by Yevgeny Yevtushenko states, "Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! " This implies that the narrator wanted to se fight as a form of enjoyment instead of helping the man.

Mr. Summers from the story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson should be considered a bad character because he chooses to host and lead the event even though he knows that innocent people will get beaten and killed. The text states “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.” This quote means that Mr. Summers just watched as the person who won the lottery was begging for their life and had gotten hit right after. Therefore, Mr. Summers is a bad character because he hosts this tradition and does not care at all that whoever is chosen is going to get beaten and killed.

many people say that Adolf Eichmann wasn't bad because he was following his orders. i think otherwise, if a person is giving a wrong order they should improvise. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/adolf-eichmann states ''
Adolf Eichmann was one of the most pivotal actors in the implementation of the “Final Solution.” Charged with managing and facilitating the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and killing centers in the German-occupied East, he was among the major organizers of the Holocaust.'' meaning he lead many people and families to concentration camps where they where killed after hard labor and no food or water. it states on the website that he was nicknamed the executioner which provides me with enough evidence to know he was a terrible person for following the orders and actions he was given to do.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a good person because he was a little boy who could not control the situation that was occurring right in front of him. To prove this the text “Picture of Childhood” states, “Their owner, a guy with an honest enough mug, very proud of his high principles, was saying with each kick: 'Don’t try your tricks with us! ' booting him deliberately, with the utmost conviction, and, sweat pouring, with a red face, he jovially called to me: 'Come on, youngster, get in it! ' I can’t remember-how many there were, making a din, beating him up.” This edifies directly that he was in fact a child by the way the man addresses him. This also explains that he had no authority over the way the people were beating the man up. Lastly, it even shows that he was being pressured into doing an act that he was not comfortable with, his description shows the trauma he experienced that day. That being so, Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a good person.

The narrator of “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, should be considered a good character. In "Picture of Childhood" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, the text states "It may have been a hundred, it may have been more," and "I will never make one hundred and one!" This shows how the narrator is a good character because they do not help the crowd which were the bad people of this poem and instead feels sorrow for the victim who got beaten. Therefore, the narrator of “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, should be considered a good character

Readers may say that Mr. Summers is a bad person in the novel The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. This is because in The Lottery it states, "Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box." This piece of evidence showcases Mr. Summer's eagerness to engage with the lottery. In addition, Mr. Summers was aware of the horrific events that were going to take place as a result of the lottery commencing. This event became a tradition that families engaged in along with minors in order to kill innocent people in an unconventional way. Families attended this event with the intention of intentionally participating by the command of Mr. Summer to honor the tactics within the scope of the lottery that is well protected by the person who tries to avoid any direct involvement—Mr. Summer. In sum, it can be suggested that Mr. Summers enjoyed murdering the lives of innocent families because of a tradition that is being upheld.

Some people believe that the narrator from “Picture of Childhood” should be considered a good person. Some people believe he is a good person because he did not want to get involved in the fight and just stood there watching. In stanza 7 lines 1-7 it says “I can’t remember how many there were, making a din, beating him up.It may have been a hundred, it may have been more, but I, just a boy, wept for shame.

And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause-I will never make one hundred and one!” This shows how even if there were a lot of people beating him up he will not make himself be added to that group. He will not fight the man even if there are a lot of people doing it but he does not wanna follow the other people. He did not do anything because he was sacred that a lot of people were there and if he would have defended the man he would also probably be beaten and he is just a kid so he can’t fight off the other people because it won't be fair for him and the other man going against a huge number of people. Nevertheless, he should be considered a good character for worrying about the man and not wanting to join the fight even though a bunch of people were there and he did not want to follow them and even if people tried influencing him in joining the fight he did not.

The novel from “Picture of Childhood” - By Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a bad character due to them not doing anything to stop the fight and neither did they have any good
intentions by watching them in the fight. According to the text it states, “Elbowing our way, we run.
Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to
the uproar.” This shows that they don’t feel any remorse that someone is getting beaten up, they are showing excitement to see how that person is getting beaten up.

The constant debate between many different individuals on whether or not Otto should or should not be classified as a savage person or guilty for the act of savagery. However, it can be argued whether or not Adolf did organize the deaths and suffrage of millions of Jews within the Holocaust either based on his true intentions or, in reality, was due to his superiors' stipulation. On the contrary, after perusing given information from the article "All There is to Know About Adolf Eichman" and "How the Nazi's defence of 'just following orders' plays out in the mind," makes the impression to lead to the belief that Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person.

In Shirley Jackson’s “the lottery” mr summers is considered a bad character because he runs a ritual every year that choses someone randomly out of the black box to die. For example in Shirley Jackson “the lottery” it says ““It’s Tessie,” Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. “Show us her paper, Bill.” Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd. “All right, folks,” Mr. Summers said. “Let’s finish quickly.” This proves that mr summers is a bad character because out of the box tessie was chosen and the tone I got out of him when he said “it’s tessie” the tone felt like he was happy and also he said let’s do this quickly which means he just wants tessie to get stoned and die fast as possible which shows his evilness. Therefore, mr summers is considered a bad character.
