In both story, the main character is a girl that is being pick on and shut out by everyone. On top of that, both stories seem to be in a dark mood and refuse to accept other people opinion. Unlike Margot from All Summer in a Day who kept things to herself until the end, Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson from The Lottery actually scream out what is fair and what is not. On top of that, Margot actually stand up for her opinion from the beginning to end like Mrs. Tessie who only starting to say something about the event once it actually affect her.

Women

In two stories All Summer in a Day and The Lottery, they had the dark color went through stories. All people were so sad when they were waiting for rain or waiting for the lottery, but all of them didn't want to speak up because that was a unique social agreement. In two sorry, the conflict had put on women who were weak. Women were victims in two stories.

Both Stories have some similarities, like Both stories went in to lighter part to darker part of life and both have some unexpecting situstions. Both stories character were maintain a lot of courrage in these stories.

All Summer In a Day V.S. The Lottery

The similarity between "All summer in a day" and "The Lottery" is dark side among people in society.For example, in"All summer in a day", the children treat the girl(Margot) badly because she is the only person come from the Earth, have experience about the Sun and know how beautiful the Sun is. In the same way, in "The Lottery" people in the village have the wrong belief about sacrify the winner of the lottery in order to have a good harvest in every summer. Even though it is their tradition every year, they need to think that one day they will be the person is killed by the others in village. In contrast to the similarity, the difference between those stories is that" All Summer in a day" is mentioned about the hope, and" The Lottery" is about the message to the audience that beliefs still go wrong nowadays or long time ago.

SUMMER IN A DAY VS LOTTERY

Those history are similar in that both are fiction and both have a bad ending, also there are two woman that died in the history.
and I can said the diference is that the lottery it was a fiction tradition and the summer in a day it was something that happen.

#5

Both of the stories have few similarities in between them. Both stories have moral in them and they have a person who is an outcast or become one. Also the group of people in both stories live the same boring everyday life, and have no exitment. Even though both stories talk about different people and different setting but the idea is very common.

contrast

The Lottery took place on a sunny day , on a small town, it was so small that the lottery didnt take that long. in the other hand All summer in the day is a story that took place in venus. Had a bad weather it rain for 7 years , and instead of a small town it was on the planet venus.

All summer in a day VS. The lottery

When I read those two stories, I found some similaries beteewn "All summer in day" and "The lottery".First, those stories worte by american authores.They both are good authores at that time. Those two stries are have sad ending.The ending of " All summer in day" is the girl Margot had been locked in the closet when the sun came out. She hadnt saw the sun, and she have to wait other 7 years. The ending of " The lottery" is the Mrs. Hutchenson had stoned by her small town people. I found some different beteewn those story too. The " All summer in day" is a stroy talking about in the future, and the story happen in Venus. The " the Lottery" is the stroy happend in the past, a small town. and the ending of "All summer in day", the little girl was keeping quite when the kids opened the closet. The ending of " The lottery" , Mrs. Hutchenson was screamed when she was unlucky by won the lottery.

What does the story The Lottery imply about religion?

After I go through the story “The Lottery” I think the people, who lived in that time had a wrong believe on the way they have done for other people. They can’t speak for their own right; they only know that it is a traditional and they had to follow it. Just in case, in the story, people in the village believed when someone had sacrifice themselves that will help the corn will be good to harvest. However, in the story Mrs. Hutchinson has speak for her own right, because she think that was unfair when people treat her that way. Therefore, I think people should speak for their own right when they are not agreeing with something. Even though, that is your opinion but it is good to speak up your own thinking.

question 2

I think what implies in human nature is when humans are forced to choose between self-preservation and family commitment, it is natural for them to choose themselves. In the story, no one in the family volunteers to take another family member's place. It is clearly every man for himself.

The lottery and human nature

The Lottery imply that when humans are forced to choose between self preservation and family commitment, it is natural for them to choose themselves.
In the story, no one in the family volunteers to take another family member's place. It is clearly every "man" for himself.
Many of the younger concentration camp sons choose to keep their food to themselves, preserve their own health, or distance themselves from their fathers in order to survive.

question #1

About religion, people want to trust some religion. It can cause by fear or hope. I think that the villeger have a religion, so they tried to maintain the bad custom. I think that the lottery is bad custom because it implys violence. However, they want to trust the lottery. I think that it is ridiculas. Although the lottery is custom from long time ago, the villeger have to stop the bad custom. The villeger knew that the lottery is violence and cruel custom, but they can not stop the bad custom. I think that these action is religion. They want to trust the bad custom is absolutly power. Sometime, people can not see everything becauce people fall easily in their thinking. The thinking can cause by religion or fear..

#2

The story" Lottery" imply us the disadvantage of human nature: human beings are naturely bad and selfish. In order to get a good harvest,they believe sacrifice one of them was necessary. But on the other hand, when it turned to themselves like Mrs Hutchinson, she felt it was unfair, but she did not care if it happened to the others before.

the lottery

It is a very sad story ,but a least it teach us how human can be self- fish.
Mr Summers and Mr Graves put evrybody name in the black box and they always forget to their nane which is not fair .The game has to be fair and equitable .
In the other hand Miss Jessie Hutchinson has been quiet and had never complain about this tradition because her nane has nerver been called .As soon as sheis the one to win the lottery ,she think that it is not fair.
Generaly we do not complain about any thing until it affect us.

Human Nature in "The Lottery"

In the story"The Lottery", the human behavior is the common behavior in the village that people sacrify the winner of the lottery which is happen every summer time. That is a weird traditional belief of the people in that village. They do sacrify the winner blindly without using their mind to think that it's right or wrong. Moreover, it is nonsense that they kill one person one year by stone according to the belief that they will have a full harvest of corn.

the Lottery

#2-- What does the story The Lottery imply about human nature? Support your opinion by referring to events or characters in the story.

The story The Lottery imply that human nature tend to act as “follow the leader”. The villagers in the story just follow tradition without questioning or having a second through either if the tradition is right or wrong. On top of that people do not question tradition until it effect personally. It is then that the marked person started to scream out what is fair and what is not. Take Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson for example. Just like everyone in the village, she follows the tradition of sacrificing someone by stoning people to death every year in hoping to have lots of corns for the upcoming year. She never asks any question until it was she who got pick to stone to death. It was then that she started to scream out that it is not right and it is not fair. It is this very evidence that show that how human tend not to care about tradition or the everyday event until it affect them personally.

THE LOTERY

THE MESSAGE IN THE LOTERY ITS TRY TO LET THE READERS KNOW THAT THE HUMAN NATURE IS THAT PEOPLE DONT CARE DO THING WRONG LONGER ITS NO INVOLVED OURSELVES.
fOR EXAMPLE IN THE HISTORY , PEOPLE HAVE A TRADITION TO EVERY YEAR IN THE END 0F JUNE KILLED SOMEONE IN ORDER TO HAVE A GOOD YEAR (CORN).
EVERYBODY WERE PRACTICING THIS TRADITION, BUT WHEN WAS THE TIME TO THE PERSON WAS PICK AND DIE DID NOT LIKE IT, LIKE MRS. HUTCHINSON IN THE HISTORY. EVEN THOUGHT SHE USED TO TROUGHT ROCKS TO THE PEOPLE THE PAST YEARS, SHE DID NOT LIKE IT WHEN SHE WAS PICK.

#2

Human nature. People tend to not care about other people problem and the obsticles they face. However when the same problem face us, we are acting like its not fair and trying to reject the proble. Same as in the soty lottery when Miss Hutchinson have done the lottery for a 25 year and it never picked on the she was fine with it, and would join everyone else in the throwing rock. But when she got a "winning ticket" she immidiatly object the situation and said it was not fair. So whenever it doesn't affect us we are good with it but as soone it involve us we object, that's why i really think we should reconsider some things we accept thinking it will never happen to you because when it does we try to get away from it. Thus when if you accept the rules you play the game fair, otherwise don't get involve.

My response

#1-- What does the story The Lottery imply about religion? Support your opinion by referring to events or characters in the story.
The story is about the people of the small village in America. they believe for having a good corn product, they try to sacrified a persoan every year for their god, so they choose a person with the lottery. the person win lottery is sacrified for their believe with droping stone to the person. But in the story Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson drop stone to sacrified person, accidently she won the lottery and she was mad, I believe the golden rule, if you treat with every body the way you like to be treated.I think every religion has some good way and bad way, it doesnt matter is very old or belong to thousand years ago like abraham`s reliegen or modern reliegen like markcism or comonist, all of the is not commplete, so peolpe sholud think and decied to which way is correct with attention to the situation they live. because every day the life go to change and old believe can not support any more people life.

A pure religion !

Religion makes people believe in god and try to do something good for their lives. However, not all of people in the world know the advantages in practicings of religion. For somehow, they use religion to aplly to do some horrible thing that they believe it true, but it's really not such as human sacrifice. Sadnessly, it still happens until today in some parts of the worlds. However, people in the US fought really hard to end that type of religion's practicing such as the sorry "The Lottery." In the sorry "The Lottery" people stupidly followed what they believed is killing people will help farmings. The author was truly expressing her opinions in the hurts of Mrs. Hutchinson when she had been calling up. It was so unfair for women at the time when they usually the victims of society. However, along with the developments of society, many protests such as the author of the "The Lottery" had ended what we called "a horrible believe and pratice in religion". Hopefully, many parts in the world will do the same things like what we have done in the US to be able to practice what we call "a pure religion".

The lottery( hunman natrue)

I think many human are doing things passively, some times they dont even know what they are doing. Like the stroy The Lottery, in the small town, people have done the lottery for 77years. Some of them or maybe just a few of them believed that if they stoned somebody, then the corn be heavey soon. However, the whole town people follow then to do the foolish thing. For expamle, the Mrs. Hutchinson has not revolted before the lottery. But she was unlucky, she had been drawed. Then she strated to say that wasn't fair, and she was sreamed. From the beginning they started to doing this unlucky lottery thing, the poeple in the town should revolt the foolish thing.

Question 3

When you met people, you have to know always people parting because of death, moving, or
something else..

Mr. and Ms. Hutchson

Each and Every sad moments gives us a pain. Being a human being we have a lots of troubles and responsibilities. So If i am the close friend of Mr. and Ms. Hutchson i would just say that we are human being and try to concentrate your work and pretent that we never ever had a child.Be strong as possible as you can.

life goes on

I always went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Hutchenson after thier son had died. I knew they were both grow the corn at night , I knew they were still very painful when they lost their own son. They were sad , but the life goes on, so they kept the way which was they were living now. Every time I went there, we had a coffee or a dinner together,almost all the time ,we were being quiet.Many times, I didn't even know what could I talk to them.I went there one night, I saw them still went to plant the corn. I let them stop it, and started to tell them" I know you are very sad becouse you lost your son. but you know the life goes on, and both of you are still very health, please stop to doing the things to hurt yourselives or let you feel sad. I believe your son in heaven hope you are health and still happy in your life. please don't always be sad!Then your son would feel better when he knows in heaven." They started crying and not stoped it...

Letter for Mr and Mrs. Hutcheson

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hutcheson
I know it is really hard to accept that feeling, a feeling of losing some one, the one that you love and you had put all of your hope into. I think that is the most difficult time for everyone to get over it, my dear friend. For me, I had been through it, I had lost some one I love, and I was so sad, and cant live without that person. At last, I realize that I should move forward. For that you won’t feel lonely, because you know there is something new will be happening in the future, and life is beautiful. I believe when the new day come, there are lot of thing will grow up, and life will come again. I hope you will feel better my dear friend, you still have some one around you, and they always care for you when you need them.

Living With Reality!

Living with the grief is never easy. It becomes worst for people who have only one love and willing to do anything for their love such as Mr. and Mrs. Hutcheson. If I am the one, who is close friend to them, I will help them partially dealing with their grief over the loss of their son. I will usually visit them and bring more friends to make some jokes and help them when they need. I also try to change their habits. I will give them some advice of travelling and enjoy their lives because they do not live very long, instead of working whole day and night long. I believe friends and time are the best way to help Mr. and Mrs. Hutcheson cope with the grief. I also tell them my opinion that "one day you will meet your son, but not yet. You have to live your life. And he want to see you in a good shape."

To Say Condolence To Mr. And Mrs. Hutchinson
I am really sorry for your lost, I cannot say that I understand, how you feel exactly, because I do not have a kid, that is role of the world, and every body born and die. I know, it is difficult to forgot, we should forgot to continue our life. I hope that be your last grief in your life, and be happy always.

will's died

if I am a close friend of that couple it will be very difficul to find the rigth word to sait but i will probabily try to tell them that every thing come from God . God can give and can take back . We need Will but God need him more than us . We just have to pray for him .He is know where all of us will be one day .

An advice

I think one of the most difficult things to deal with the dealth of the loved one is to get over it and admit that was really happened. If I were a close friend to Mr. Hutcheson, I would tell them "I'm sorry for your lost". Morevover, I would visit them regularly like their real daughter, told them to cope with it and took care of their health. Finally, I would tell them to go back to work and but their stress into work and they will forget the lost of their son when they come back to work as usual.

To The Mr. And Mrs. Hutcheson

I am so sorry about your son's event. I do not know how you feel exactly, but I understand that it is so hard to overcome easily. However, humans born and die someday as like everything has begining and ending. I think he went to the better place than here. So, do not worry about your son. He will be find. I suggest to meet many people, and try to overcome your sadness. I want to see your big smile as soon as possible.

An Advice

There is really not many options in the situation like that to advise. But of course one thing would really be helpful is truly express our feeling from the bottom of our heart. Even as simple as "I am very sorry for your loss" would be very appreciative. Thus advise would be just to take it easy, i mean not to rush with anything and try to get as much time as needed to get over the tragedy. Dont push this old couple because they really got lots of stress to cope with. A nice vacation would be helpful but i think they just need to do what they always have done work on the farm and eventually thing would go back to normal as they were or very close to how things were.

A letter to Mr and Mrs Hutcheson

Dear Mr and Mrs Hutchenson,

I just heard about the bad news about your son, I am so sorry to hear that. I can exactly

understand your feel now. however, I still want to say take easy about this. Now the most

important thing is keep yourselves healthy, and take care of each other. I believe it is also the

hope of your son. My suggestion is that you can take a trip now, and let your body and mind

take a break. When you feel better, come back to your place then go back to your normal life.

Best regards.

The Corn Planting

Imagine that you are a close friend of the Mr. and Mrs. Hutcheson. What advice would you give the Hutcheson’s in dealing with their grief over the loss of their son?

I am sorry for your lost. I can not say that I understand how you feel since I myself do not have a son. However, I lost my grandma a couple of years ago. I somewhat do understand how you feel to only a certain degree, but not fully. People born and die. It is part of life. There is nothing we're the living can do for the dead, but miss them dearly. However, I am sure that your great son would not want to know that you are grieving over the loss of him for long. He would want you to be happy and goes on with your life. Remember the good time, but live your life to the full and not living in the past. =]

Stressful event

My stressful event in my life is balance with work and school.
Because I have to work during semester to earn money for petition fee,
apartment payments, car payments, and so on.
It is stressful to me because I also have to do well in class like
tests, quizzes, essays, and the other things to pass the classes.

The final exam is always the one of stressful event in my life, I have always stress before exams , and it is very difficult for me to handle the situation,and I cant cope well with stress,however I study well that subject I have very stressfull in that day.i cant sleep well before test.

Coping with Stress

I believe that everyone in this world have to face with stress on their day life. As for me, I have a lot of stress everyday when I am at school, at work, even at my house.
In fact, when I at school, I always worry about how to prepare good for my class, how to get all of my homework done for class. However, I have the most stress at my work place, because I alway think of how much time I have to do homework at home?, I also need to complete my task everyday at work. Because sometime, I have to bring my work go home and finished it for the nextday, for that reason I won’ t able to do my homework or studying. Furthermore, when I am home, I ran out of time, I did not have time to study, and i felt bad that I did not care about my family much.
At first, I felt fustrated when I wake up in the morning, I kind of gave up to anything. I don’t want to anything. After that, I realize, there is something more difficult in life, and I thought why don’t I stand up and fight back this stressful. I knew there is someone could able to cope with stress so well, and I asked my self, Why other people could it? Shouldn’t I try it and prove my self.
Day by day, I have learn a lot of thing, I knew that I have to face with to many problem when the day is going to start, and I think that is good for me, because i knew something will be happening. Eventhough, I have a lot stress everyday, but I have learn to make them become my goal, and avoid them as stress. For example, at school I tried to do my best, prepared good, and concentrated on my class. At work, I gave my self a goal, that I have to comple my work on time, also need to stop thinking about anything not related to my job. When I got home, I created the schedule for myself, and that is really helped to put me in order of doing something. Finally, It took me two weeks, to set up all of this thing, I got time to finish homework, and completed my task at work. Beside that, I really happy that I have some spare time with my family.

coping with stress

One of the streeful event in my life at the moment is time management with college, family, friend, and boyfriend. I am the type of person who like to make people happy and so I would try my best to spend time with them, but it is not easy when I have to deal with college, family, friends, and boyfriend at the same time. With me, I am able to deal with stress very well by simply listening to music or get some rest. I actually the type of person who like pressure. I work better when I am under pressure. It keep me from being bored since I get bord easily.

Coping with stress.

Describe some stressful event in your life. Did you cope well with the stress? What could you have done differently? Was your physical health affected by this stress?

I did cope well with the stress. The biggest stress is health in my life. As I get older, I am concerned about my health. Suddenly, I have got some problem in my neck a few months ago. Thereby, I had to go to the chiropractic and I couldn`t do anything at all. In addition, The Another biggest stress is between the work and study. I am working at a gas station after the class. It's very hard to concentrate the study. For that reason gave a lot of stress to me, and headache. So I will be decide to quit the job or not.

stressful experience

I probably can describe last job as a stressful experience, I probably can mention different situations, but for example one day for some reason I end with five customers at the same time and its very hard ,because customers expect that they want to be attended quickly , I was feeling that they hate me ,because they just want to live, and i wanted that they live but unfornutaly i have to follow certains company rules, like the most important are the customer and for any reason customer can live unhappy.

I always try to be stress free, but the last week I had a lower grade in one of my class. I did not expect that and I had never guess that somethink like that can happen to me , so I was very tress .At the first time a gave up and started thinking about drop that class . After a quit feelback of my entire life ( were i am comming from, i thought of my family back home ...) I sait to my myself "' i have to figh, giving up is not an option "" . Now I am study very hard for this class and I hope I will do better at the next test.

In our life there is many things, that give us a stress. In 2005, I was in India and i had a my highschool final. Accroding to Indian edu. system all the fields you can choose based on your high school grade. There was a very tuff and chellenging situation for me. I was traying to my self with confidence, but somehow depression won finally, and i was totally nervous. I told my parents i am not going to attend my finals, i do not want to study. Fortunately They became my moral support. They encourrage me and i took final, But when i entered in to final exam hall, Luck was with me and i know each and every answers. I really greatful to my parents. It wasnt affect my health, But it was really scerry situation for me.

The most stressful time in my life is the first month in Canada. When I finish high school in my country, I went to Seneca college in Toronto, I remember it was a winter when I got there. I felt so lonely plus it snowed all day long there,also I do not know anybody there,I was in big stress,my way to cope the stress was I talked to my family and friends online by computer everyday when I feel bad. Later I met some frieds there then my life became much better.I think if there was no internet that time I might went back to my country at first month already.Anyway the life in Toronto was happy and helpful to me.

A Stressful Event.

Stressful in life...

I have been facing lots of events or situations that stresses me in life. I always recal when I was in highschool, every time we have tests I probably feel worry about it even when I'm already. My physical health affected by the stress like stomache, sweating. But I can cope with my anxiety right before the test starts. For example, I said the myself that " Thao, you studied for it so just take it easy or it maybe worse 'cuz you worry too much"

My Stressful Event

When I was 22 years old, I had to join the Korean army because most Korean guy has to join the army. At that time, I entered in Chemisty Company intead of joining army, but it has same period of the army. While I was working for the company, I got stress a lot because my superior used to bother me. He alway gave to me a lot of work. Also, if he got a fault, he said to boss that fault was Taewan's fault. So, I had to agure with him. Then, he tried to shirk his reponsibility. One day, Boss was in the factory which me and him worked together after he went to sleep. At that time, I was working because he gave to me the work. Boss asked me where your superior is and then I said to him I did not know about that. And then the boss tried to find him and then found in company's domitary. Boss was really mad to him and then boss said to him that " you're fired!!". After that happened, I could move up to his position. At that time, I got a lot of stress, but I have done my best. That's why I coped well with the stress.

When I was young, I went to market with my mother. We bought many things, so we could not walk hand in hand. Few munites later, I had lost my way. Because I was so young, I just wandered from place to place. I felt much fear. Fortunately, somebody took me to the police office. Later, my parents pick me up from the police dffice. I was still crying and shaking. i could not forget about feeling by that time. So, I hate go somewhere alone. I think that feeling at that time was make me as a coward.

One of my stressful thing

When I was in the last year of elementrial school, we had to take a very important final exam for get into the new school. And there are many schools in the city, but looked like everyone wanted to get in the best middle school. I had to woke up early every morning as 6 o'clock,and studied a lot during the day time till about 11 o'clock. At that time, I was only 11 years old. I didn't really know what's stress? I just knew I needed to get in the school I wanted to go.But my mom was very worry about me. She said I didnt need to study that hard,health was more importan. I always got cold and had fever.Many times ,I didnt able to go to school, I felt really bad. I think that is my body felt stress, so I was always ill.

Cope with stress is important

When i got in three car accidents in past two years. Firt time i was really nervous and a lil scared so was every other time but after second car accident i wasnt worried it was scary i was sort of used to it. I deal with it pretty well i would not think about it too much because i knew i need to drive everyday and i cant afford to be afraid of driving. So i think even if people get in really bad car accident it is resonable to have few days to cope with stress and get back on the road. Because especially now in the days where people have to be able to drive everywhere which means just dont take to serious to your heart.

Language Art's stress

One of the most stresses that I have experienced is the falling of the GAGT for the Language Art when I was in high school. I worried so much because the pressure of going to college that I wont able to do when I missed that test. It was really hard for me to cope with stress that led by my lack knowledge. I was so stressful when I heard that news. At that time, I hate my life so much and blamed every horrible things on myself. I did not talk much, I even didn't get out of my house.
However, in one night, I thought my life shouldn't be this way, I have to try and fight for myself. I decided to study hard for the next comming test. I also try to read letterure novels as much as I could, and try to analyzed, thought of comprehension of the contants.
The result of working hard was what I expected. I finally past the test. That let me able to go to college that I have dreamed for long time. Hopefully, I won't ever get any kind of this stresses in my life.

People want to get best education for their life, it is started from child to when people old. Some times people need to hard study if their want to get successful in daily life. I had some stressful event in my life, it's about OSS exam in my country. OSS exam means; pass the final exam about high school.
Many years ago when I went to high school, I need to go best high school in my city if students want to go best high school need to pass OSS exam. I mean if student go to best high school student get best education, how to study for homework and how to get succes in their life it is really important step in their life. when I was a take first exam, I was failed first time.

My feeling.......

After reading the story, I can understand the invisible wall between the boy and his father. That misunderstanding situation had happened to me.

In addition, because of that little conflict occured, I couldn't say anything, just keep inside. When I'm growing up, suddenly study abroad, live faraway from home, I need to do everything by myself, my father talk to me, encourage me, and little by little we understand each other much better than in the past. We think the same, and even my father doesn't decide about my future I absolutely know that he wants me to become a strong, decisive, wise person in life.

Knowing that I would probably die soon, "I guess this is my time" would probably the first thing that pops into my head.
