3. Paragraph 1 should contain a CITED summary of the specific "dark action." (Who, what, when, where)
4. Paragraph 2 should contain an explanation of the motivation that caused the person to commit this "dark action." Make certain that you give specific CITED details from the story to show why the character acted in this manner.
5. Your conclusion should summarize your points and include explain Explain what the story might be like if the character chose to do something better instead of doing the more evil action

idk which ones to do for the other two

Answer 14

In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” the theme of the story is dramatically illustrated by Jackson’s unique tone. Once a year the villagers gather together in the central square for the lottery. The villagers await the arrival of Mr. Summers and the black box. Within the black box are folded slips of paper, one piece having a black dot on it. All the villagers then draw a piece of paper out of the box. Whoever gets the paper with the black dot wins. Tessie Hutchinson wins the lottery. Everyone then closes in on her and stones her to death

Answer 15

Tessie Hutchinson believes it is not fair because she was picked. The villagers do not know why the lottery continues to exist. All they know is that it is a tradition they are not willing to abandon. In “The Lottery,” Jackson portrays three main themes including tradition, treason, and violence.

The main theme in Jackson’s “The Lottery” is tradition. Jackson conveys tradition as the main theme thought the story. “The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions; most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.” (966). The author suggests the people of the village have been playing the lottery for several years. “The people had done is so many times... they only half listened to the directions” suggests that the people of the village have played the lottery so many times that they only half listened to the direction

Answer 16

I agree with that with withheld info because in the lottery the author doesn't tell what the stones are for until the end and he also doesn't tell the reader the purpose of the papers.

I also agree with the second one because The tone of the article by Edgar Allan Poe in the cast of amontillado was sinister things to the use of a detached in eccentric narrator whom the reader could not trust completely

I would say shocking twist would go to the most dangerous game because nobody expected Rainsford to kill General Zaroff in the very end leaving the readers shocked.

Answer 18

Can you explain what foil is please?

Answer 19

@HannahC234

Answer 20

Im still not sure about foil let me look in my notes

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

All I found was in lierary terms foil is used in a literary context, and when used to describe a character, it means that that character serves to highlight one or more attributes of another character, often the protagonist, by providing a contrast
