Answer 3

also have to put the page number you found in the evidence you found

Answer 4

Well, taking a quick look at the stories, it seems like Tessie in "The Lottery" is in danger because of the lottery itself. She happens to have the bad luck of drawing the one marked paper, which means her life is forfeit.
Bob, in "After 20 Years" is in danger of losing his freedom. He has broken the law, but he wants to keep his promise to his friend, even if it puts him at risk.
I think the situations of both characters are fundamentally different; one loses their life, while another goes to jail. You should be able to find some similarities and differences in the characters' reactions to their situations, for Tessie, after she finds out that she has the marked paper, and for Bob, in his interactions with the officer.

Answer 8

Hm, I guess Tessie's nervousness and her insistence that the lottery "wasn't fair" can tell us that she's in a state of denial about her fate.
By contrast, Bob seems relatively accepting of what happens, although still clearly upset and betrayed

Answer 9

ok put that as tessie's behavior or feelings ?

Answer 10

and what about behavior quote

Answer 11

Mm, I think Tessie says something to try and delay the results of the lottery. That would probably be more of a behavior quote. Her objection that the lottery wasn't fair might be more of a feeling quote

Answer 12

ok what about bob's behavior or feelings ?

Answer 13

Bob doesn't have much of a chance to react once he realizes he's been placed under arrest, but from the context we can tell that he knows he's wanted and he knows that coming to New York is a risk, but does so anyway. When his hand trembles at the end of the story, it's less out of fear from going to jail but more from the realization that he did meet his old friend Jimmy and was, in a sense, betrayed by him. We know that Bob holds a very high opinion of Jimmy and went to great lengths to keep his meeting. Of course, it's up to the reader to interpret what's going on in Bob's mind at the time.

Answer 14

ok which part do i put for behavior and behavior quote for bob ?

tessie's behavior and feeling ?

Answer 15

I think there's a lot of quotes about Bob's behavior that show that he doesn't really care about the danger involved with going to New York, if it means he gets to meet his old friend again. Of course, he still has some sense of self-preservation; when he sees the police officer, Bob is quick to assure him that he means no harm.
As for Bob's feelings, he states that all the trouble and risk he went through would be worth it if it meant he could see his friend again. He also reveals some emotion when he reads Jimmy's letter to him at the end of the story and his hand starts trembling, although what emotion that was is up for interpretation.

Answer 16

which behavior quote from the passage do you suggest for silky bob ?

Answer 17

I guess the bit about Bob "going quietly" towards the end shows he's accepted his fate, so you could use that as a behavior quote

Answer 18

my teacher says this for 1

Why do you think Silky Bob is innocent? Please clarify your answer about the similarities of the situations. Your current answer is unclear.
You need quotes from each story. A quote is a sentence or two from the story that supports what you are trying to say. Put quotation marks around each quote.

Answer 19

and that's good for what you put

Answer 20

Tessie’s Behavior:

Tessie’s Feelings:

Answer 21

Tessie's Behavior quote:

Silky Feeling quote:

Answer 22

is this good for tessie feeling quote ? ‘’Her objection that the lottery wasn't fair.’’

Answer 23

Oh, the quote would have to be from the text of the story. The last line of the story makes a good example "'It isn't fair, it isn't right', Mrs. Hutchinson (Tessie) screamed, and then they were upon her"

Answer 24

k last ones for number 1 i need

Bob's Feeling quote:

Tessie's behavior:

Tessie's feelings:

Answer 25

I guess for Bob's feelings, "His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished." shows that while Bob isn't very moved by the prospect of going to jail, he is clearly emotionally affected by the realization that Jimmy showed up and chose to turn him in.

For Tessie's behavior, the quote "Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand" shows that she's trying to delay the conclusion of the lottery, even though it is inevitable

For Tessie's feelings, I think the quote we mentioned earlier about the lottery being unfair or not right shows her feelings rather well. You might also find some other quotes through the story that show Tessie's general nervousness

Answer 26

Similarity of situation between Tessie and Silky:


Difference of situation between Tessie and Silky:

Answer 27

I guess that Tessie and Bob's situations are similar because they are both taking risks to fulfill an obligation.

The main difference between their situations is that, for Tessie, someone will definitely die, even if it is not her. For Bob, the stakes are much lower; the biggest risk he faces is going to jail, and he does not seem to treat that as a very high risk.

Answer 30

what page

Answer 31

Oh, I used outside sources to get the text for the stories, since I couldn't find them in the link you sent. I know that Bob encounters the policeman on the first page of his story, and Tessie is forced to reveal her paper on the last page of hers
