So why do they have a lottery to begin with?
I don’t get that!
I don’t know.
Maybe because they accept it as fact;
it’s become part of their identity.
Well, someone tells Old Man Warner
that a neighboring village is giving up the lottery
and, believe it or not, he got angry about it.
He blamed it on the youth.
He says here, “Listening to the young folks,
nothing’s good enough for them.
Next thing you know, they’ll be wanting to go back to living
in caves, nobody work anymore, live that way for a while.”
As if stoning somebody in a public arena once a year
protects them?!
Right?
How ironic is that!
I mean, it’s the most Neanderthal thing you can do. Yeah!
And the worst part is, the lottery is so random, so
Unfair?
Let’s stick to Old Man Warner’s speech.
I mean, he goes on to give us a reason why the lottery is still
going on.
He says, “Used to be a saying about ‘Lottery in June,
corn be heavy soon.’ First thing you know,we’d all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns.”
In this clip, Paige asks why the town has the lottery at all. How does Rebecca respond to the question? How does Miles provide relevant observations and ideas to bring the discussion back on topic? Explain.
Answer:
The village lottery culminates in a violent murder each year, a bizarre ritual that suggests how dangerous tradition can be when people follow it blindly. Before we know what kind of lottery they’re conducting, the villagers and their preparations seem harmless, even quaint: they’ve appointed a rather pathetic man to lead the lottery, and children run about gathering stones in the town square. Everyone is seems preoccupied with a funny-looking black box, and the lottery consists of little more than handmade slips of paper. Tradition is endemic to small towns, a way to link families and generations. Jackson, however, pokes holes in the reverence that people have for tradition. She writes that the villagers don’t really know much about the lottery’s origin but try to preserve the tradition nevertheless.
The villagers’ blind acceptance of the lottery has allowed ritual murder to become part of their town fabric. As they have demonstrated, they feel powerless to change—or even try to change—anything, although there is no one forcing them to keep things the same. Old Man Warner is so faithful to the tradition that he fears the villagers will return to primitive times if they stop holding the lottery. These ordinary people, who have just come from work or from their homes and will soon return home for lunch, easily kill someone when they are told to. And they don’t have a reason for doing it other than the fact that they’ve always held a lottery to kill someone. If the villagers stopped to question it, they would be forced to ask themselves why they are committing a murder—but no one stops to question. For them, the fact that this is tradition is reason enough and gives them all the justification they need.
Villagers persecute individuals at random, and the victim is guilty of no transgression other than having drawn the wrong slip of paper from a box. The elaborate ritual of the lottery is designed so that all villagers have the same chance of becoming the victim—even children are at risk. Each year, someone new is chosen and killed, and no family is safe. What makes “The Lottery” so chilling is the swiftness with which the villagers turn against the victim. The instant that Tessie Hutchinson chooses the marked slip of paper, she loses her identity as a popular housewife. Her friends and family participate in the killing with as much enthusiasm as everyone else. Tessie essentially becomes invisible to them in the fervor of persecution. Although she has done nothing “wrong,” her innocence doesn’t matter. She has drawn the marked paper—she has herself become marked—and according to the logic of the lottery, she therefore must die.
Tessie’s death is an extreme example of how societies can persecute innocent people for absurd reasons. Present-day parallels are easy to draw, because all prejudices, whether they are based on race, sex, appearance, religion, economic class, geographical region, family background, or sexual orientation, are essentially random. Those who are persecuted become “marked” because of a trait or characteristic that is out of their control—for example, they are the “wrong” sex or from the “wrong” part of the country. Just as the villagers in “The Lottery” blindly follow tradition and kill Tessie because that is what they are expected to do, people in real life often persecute others without questioning why. As Jackson suggests, any such persecution is essentially random, which is why Tessie’s bizarre death is so universal.
Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D

Study Questions
Directions: Save this document to your computer. After you have finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel, compose your answers in the space provided. The answer boxes will expand as you type.
Your responses should be in the form of detailed paragraphs. A well-written paragraph is at least five sentences. Each question will require more than one paragraph to fully answer. Use specific examples from the book to support your claims.
1. Dehumanization is the process by which the Nazis gradually reduced the Jews to little more than "things" which were a nuisance to them. Discuss at least three specific examples of events that occurred which dehumanized Eliezer, his father, or his fellow Jews.
2. After Eliezer’s father was beaten by Idek, a Kapo, Eliezer says, "I had watched the whole scene without moving. I kept quiet. In fact, I was thinking of how to get farther away so that I would not be hit myself. What is more, any anger I felt at that moment was directed, not against the Kapo, but against my father. I was angry with him, for not knowing how to avoid Idek’s outbreak. That is what concentration camp life had made of me." Discuss what the last line signifies. Discuss how his attitude had changed.
3. Discuss why you think the townspeople remained complacent despite the advance of the German army.
4. Discuss why Eliezer lied to Stein, his relative, about Stein’s family. Discuss whether you think he was morally right.
5. Discuss the significance of "night" in the novel. Cite examples from the story to support your answer.
6. Explain the author’s meaning when he says after the handing of the youth from Warsaw that "the soup tasted excellent that evening," yet after the pipel was hanged, "the soup tasted of corpses."
Answer:
I only know a few of the answers, so I will give them to you in a short answer format, based on which you can construct your paragraph. I hope it helps!
Explanation:
1. Three examples:
a. Beating up his father with an iron bar for doing nothing wrong (Page 54)
b. Whipping Elie on the crate in front of all of the inmates, after Elie accidently caught him having you know what with the young Polish girl. (Page 57)
c. Having sons throw their fathers in furnaces (Chapter 3)
2. The last line meant that Elie was no longer the Elizer that he used to be. He's like a total stranger. Elie was angry at his father for being weak and not for defending himself. He probably believed that showing you're strong can prevent you from being beaten up.
3. The townspeople thought that the Germans wouldn't reach their town. However, they were wrong though. Furthermore, the Germans approached with such kindness that they believed in every single word they said. Also, the people were kinda like outcasts..
4. Elizer lied to Stein because he thought it would pain Stein if he finds out that his family were probably dead. Besides, his family was his reason to survive. He was happy when he thought his family were okay. -> He was weeping with joy. (pg.44) Elie's mother hasn't received a letter from her niece since 1940.
5. The significance of "night" in the novel is that its a symbol of darkness. Remember night means dark and stuff like that? Well, while Elie was in the camp he struggled to survive. In this place, it is every man for himself, and you cannot think of other. Not even your father. (pg.110)
6. Second quote means that Elie saw a young boy be killed in front of many people. He was so young. Death was around Elie. (I am not sure about this one though...)

1. According to the first three paragraphs of this excerpt of the speech, what has Winston Churchill been doing since becoming prime minister
From the first three paragraphs, we can see that Churchill is modifying the country's administration, appointing new ministers, and forming a war cabinet.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Churchill claims he is carrying out a request from the King to modify and create a new governing body.In this case, in response to requests, Churchill began to make new appointments of ministers and members of parliament, but he said that this is a lengthy process, as many evaluations are needed.He also claims that he created a war cabinet, which is formed in a diversified manner serving various sectors of the country.Unlike the appointment of ministers, the war cabinet must be created with agility, as England is involved in a war at that time.Although you have not shown the speech this question refers to, we can find them in questions similar to yours. The first three paragraphs are shown in the figure below.

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.
Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?
Backing out of the fight
Avoiding future conflicts
Fighting a lost cause
Winning the war on terror
Answer:
D
Explanation:
winning the war on terror
Answer:
Winning the war on terror
Explanation:
President George W. Bush says
"The war isn't over" but "their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory."
This means the war isn't over, but we can see that their side has already lost. The United States will win and have victory.
This means the answer is "Winning the war on terror".
By looking at the choices we can also see that the only correct one would be "Winning the war on terror".
Let's examine the other choices just in case.
A. Backing out of the fight. Why would the Americans back out of the fight when we are winning? President Bush stated "We have seen the turning of the tide." Meaning they are winning.
B. Avoiding future conflicts. That would be nice, but it mentions nothing about avoiding conflicts. It only mentions the success we have had in battle.
C. Fighting a lost cause. This option doesn't even make sense because George Bush implies multiple times that we are winning and will win the war.
Therefore the only option that makes sense is "Winning the war on terror"
