"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson

Good afternoon students!! What did you think about today's short story? Make sure to comment below! Also make sure to read the analysis of "The Lottery" written by Lori Voth. This is a great paper to help you understand some of the themes and irony in the story, as well as, the characters. http://voices.yahoo.com/analysis-lottery-short-story-shirley-jackson-11252.html

If you liked the short story "Charles" and "The Lottery," both by Shirley Jackson, make sure to read the following:

    I enjoyed the short story the Lottery, and I think we should do a mock lottery in class to see how every one reacts when put in that situation. I will be sure to get back to you about the suggested selections when I have read
