Yeah! That guy tried to spit out fancy words trying to act smart but he totally missed the freakin point & the themes of the damn story.
What a waste? This was the best freakin story out there.
Group work ,,, ugh. The sign of a lazy professor and a pointless task.
what a sexy nerd. mmm Hot!
I think the village stoned people not to decrease the population….it was for harvest
i call bullshit when that guy at 3:30 knew it was a lottery to kill people.
I want to stone the guy at 2:30 to death.
Horror novel see video book trailer
so disturbing in the fact that all of these people that Mrs. Hutchinson grew up with, her family members didn’t think twice about murdering her, this is just strange. I wish old man warner got picked, he enjoyed the fact that he was never picked so therefore he enjoyed the killings. This story is the perfect example of man’s inhumane to one another; this story is more like a nightmare.
. I can’t help but to think why they do it? Mutilating a human being is a waste, I was starting to think maybe they do this lottery to keep the population down; maybe it’s their own way of keeping tradition alive. This way of thinking is stupid, if they don’t want to reproduce or keep the population the same then they should all turn gay and lesbian, so that way no one will reproduce. The residents of this town are emotionless to the cruelty they cause on each other,
When I think of winning the lottery I think of money, happiness, and a sound future but in this story it is the complete opposite. I definitely didn’t expect this to be the lottery of death, for that reason it was surprising. This story was dark and eerie, I felt bad for poor Mrs. Hutchinson she lost her life over a tradition that is not even remembered. The way a group of people will hold onto a tradition, simply because it has always been that way makes no sense.
This is pretty cool. Shirley Jackson is probably my favorite writer.
what grade are you in?
Great video!!!!! please post more lectures.
Well said! :]
Haha, yeah I felt sorry for the professor too. That’s just something you don’t really say to any teacher… “Your assignment was a waste of my time.”
It is a very eery and ironic story though, and I agree that it gives us insight to our own society. I love it!
does this story question the nature of democracy itself? the majority is right god help us all
isnt it a pagan tradition?
i get it now im reading it for chool the black box symbolizes death she come there trying to clean he sin before hand
thanx profffesor!!your video really helped me a lot!!!
There are many ideas within a culture that have been handed down from generation to generation without care or logic. But such traditions are so ingrained within a culture, that nobody ever gives them much thought. And as soon as someone does question these values, people look at them as if they’ve lost their marbles.
To me, this story examines the absurdity of holding on to traditions that nobody questions, but continue to practice because it’s what has been done for hundreds of years. I think this story wants the reader to question the traditions they participate in, to perhaps enlighten them about the flaws that may lie in their own set of beliefs and or traditions.
I have a question to ask? Is a situation or condition ‘right’ because it is a tradition? I have an essay on these(lottery) and I don’t understand it. Pls hlep.
I read The Lottery in my high school sophomore year. Sure it was disturbing, but I didn’t feel the story was that great. It was just a bunch of meaningless subtle conversations that led up to the unfortunate harvest ritual at the end.
wow I felt the same way, I was glad she got picked.
well that is your fault not his
Watch some of the newer ones.
