The Lottery Questions

1. Describe the setting, using specific details from the story in your answer. I thing is is a small town with dirt roads. And they have this platform at the end of a street where they do the lottery and the people stand in front of it when they do it. I think they are wooden houses and i think they are secluded from any big city's.

2. Explain the feelings of most people in town toward the lottery. I think they are fine with is especially the old mad because they don't have a problem at the end with the outcome of it. to be honest they seem very excited.

3. What evidence is there that the lottery has been going on for a long time?  They say that the box they use had some of the remainder parts of the previous box which was the original box that the town used when it was first created.

4. What is Old Man Warner’s attitude about those who would like to change  things?  He thinks it is a stupid to change it.

5. Explain how the lottery works. So there is a box with all of these papers in it and one of them has a black charcoal circle on it and they get the farther or any boys over sixteen (if no father present) and if that isn't the case the wife goes up. They all go up one at a time picking a paper out of the box and if your family gets the one with the black circle on it then 1 paper for every family member gets put into the box, and then that family does a draw and the person in that family that gets the paper with the black circle on the paper i could only assume gets killed.

6. In what way is the title, “The Lottery”, misleading?  Why would the author  want to trick the reader by having a misleading title?  The title is misleading because you would think that they are winning a money prize but instead they are getting killed.   And i think the author did it because it makes a plot twist and makes it more interesting.
