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.

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.

#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.

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.

#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.
