In the year of the
1800's and 1900's, men and woman were not always considered equal. Men were
considered better and higher than woman. In the short story, " The
Lottery" it proves that woman were treated very poorly, and many things
were done to them for no reason.
First off, the overal
theme in this story is power and control.
I thought this because there are many events that happen throughout the
story that show the men are in charge in the society they lived in. one example
I thought of was that the children in the story only listened to their fathers.
Another example is the people started killing a woman once a man said they
could. This is why control is the one of the main themes in this story.
Secondly, I would
compare this book to the hunger games. The hunger games does not show that men
have more control over woman, but it shows how the society is unfair, just like
the lottery.
In conclusion, the
lottery has a lot of themes, but control is definitely one of them. It has the
same plot as hunger games, but not the same theme. This book has many events
that prove that men have control.
Avery this is a very good short piece I liked how you started it with talking about the 1800's. One thing that you could fix would be use a little more detail in places. Other than that it was good and you could turn that in for a better score on something if you used a little more detail!!
ReplyDeleteAvery! This is so good! I love how you used transition words and I love your introduction! I think you could explain a little more, but overall it was great :)
