ramen · Answer

Fr? Nice

lizzie777 · Answer

is there answer choices

ramen · Answer

No there isn't we just have to write about it.

lizzie777 · Answer

oh ok

lizzie777 · Answer

well i have put for my assigment was  Tess Hutchinson but for all of the fact that she's the victim of the lottery, her death is almost incidental to the process of the story. It's the foil for the villagers' self-defeating quest for group coherence: they murder one of their own every year so that those who remain can bond over the event.

ramen · Answer

You got the question of who acted heroically?

lizzie777 · Answer

so she was kinda a hero but since her death was incidental there will be no hero in the story

ramen · Answer

Ohh ok, so she was the hero for a bit because she called out that it wasn't fair?

Aqual · Answer

i see no protagonist

ramen · Answer

Same, ig Tessie was a bit of a protagonist tho and the antagonist was the lottery
