What details occur in "The Lottery" to support the main theme of the story? Select all that apply.


1)The drawing of the lottery depicts how a person is haphazardly chosen to be "permanently removed" from a community. The loyalty of those close to the person is also drastically altered by the arbitrary selection method.

2)Heads of households cannot be depended upon for offering protection to their loved ones. Instead, they are overruled by regulations of the larger society.

3)A community blindly follows a tradition called the lottery in which one person from the community is selected annually for elimination. By this action they learn disrespect for human life.

4)From the time they are young, children are required to participate in the lottery. As a result of this early preparation, no one is bold enough to question the validity of the tradition or to insist that it be discontinued.

5)Civic positions are filled using simplistic reasoning. Mr. Summers, for example, was chosen because he was a jovial businessman but also because his wife nagged him and, therefore, people felt sorry for him.

6)Community members have no guarantee of growing to an old age. Therefore, they learn as children that they are loved conditionally.

7)No one remembers how or why the tradition began. Therefore, people show discomfort when anyone contradicts what has been learned from stored memories.

It's the first one. The main conflict is between an individual and society. The rest is true as well. I did this and got it right by the way.

Explanation:

2-This applies when Tessie, Bill's wife, is the chosen one. She pickes up the marked paper and  she is stoned to death. No one from her family can save her.  Decisions from society are stronger than personal or intimate decisions.

3- The characters from the story disrepspect human life since they  have fun when a person is stoned.

4- Village children take part of the event; they collect the stones that later will be used. They naturalise the lottery . This is the reason why the lottery and the results will become an unquestionable tradition.

7-Old Man Warner is the character that exemplifies this idea. This man has become a slave to tradition.

It was now deep dusk in the forest, and deepest in that part of it where these two were journeying. As nearly as could be discerned, the second traveler was about fifty years old, apparently in the same rank of life as Goodman Brown, and bearing a considerable resemblance to him, though perhaps more in expression than features. Still they might have been taken for father and son. And yet, though the elder person was as simply clad as the younger, and as simple in manner too, he had an indescribable air of one who knew the world, and who would not have felt abashed at the governor's dinner table or in King William's court, were it possible that his affairs should call him thither. But the only thing about him that could be fixed upon as remarkable was his staff, which bore the likeness of a great black snake, so curiously wrought that it might almost be seen to twist and wriggle itself like a living serpent. This, of course, must have been an ocular deception, assisted by the uncertain light.

"Come, Goodman Brown," cried his fellow-traveler, "this is a dull pace for the beginning of a journey. Take my staff, if you are so soon weary."

"Friend," said the other, exchanging his slow pace for a full stop, "having kept covenant by meeting thee here, it is my purpose now to return whence I came. I have scruples touching the matter thou wot'st of."

"Sayest thou so?" replied he of the serpent, smiling apart. "Let us walk on, nevertheless, reasoning as we go; and if I convince thee not thou shalt turn back. We are but a little way in the forest yet."

"Too far! too far!" exclaimed the goodman, unconsciously resuming his walk. "My father never went into the woods on such an errand, nor his father before him. We have been a race of honest men and good Christians since the days of the martyrs; and shall I be the first of the name of Brown that ever took this path and kept--"

from Emma

by Jane Austen




Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy

disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly

twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.


She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father;

and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early

period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance

of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who

had fallen little short of a mother in affection.


Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess

than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more

the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of

governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the

shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and

friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss

Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.


The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much

her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages

which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so

unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.


Sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable

consciousness.—Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. It was

on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any

continuance. The wedding over and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to

dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself

to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.

My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could
make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came
to be called Pip.

I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister—
Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and
never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of
photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from
their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a
square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription,
"Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled
and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged
in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine—
who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle—I am indebted
for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands
in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of
the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have
been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for
certain, that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip,
late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that
Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were
also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with
and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that
the low leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind
was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and
beginning to cry, was Pip.

"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the
side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little, or I'll your throat!”

Some people say that a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan can cause a hurricane in Texas. Any one of us, however small and helpless we may feel, can spark unimagined changes. Today's small act of kindness can become tomorrow's whirlwind of human progress.


But as you all know, progress is not easy, and it will not come unsolicited. I hope that many of us will inspire positive change. There is still so much to be done both in distant lands and closer to home in our own communities. The big, sweeping, revolutionary actions are always most noticeable. But quite often, it will be the small things that all of us can do that will have the most impact. Yes, we will be busy in our lives. But we can all take a little time to do a little deed of kindness. We can help write a letter; we can inscribe a little goodness on the hard surface of this world.


In this portion of his Harvard graduation speech, Asgedom...?


A. suggests that the need is greater in distant lands and people should commit to helping.

B. argues that everyone can do something to make a positive impact in the world.

C. demonstrates that revolutionary actions are needed to make a change in the world.

D. shows that he understands that people may be too busy to commit to helping others.
