RW (R): We will infer the underlying horrors in the author’s hidden meaning. Opening: A List of Horrors Some first-time readers of "The Lottery" tend to cite the ending, describing the commencement of the stoning of Tessie Hutchinson, as the only disturbing part of the story. But those who have studied the story know otherwise. Work Period: Consider the following; what makes them especially disturbing? On notebook paper, number and answer IN COMPLETE SENTENCES the following questions: "[T]he whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner." "Guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work." The villagers do not excuse children from the lottery. Even Nancy Hutchinson, 12, and her little brother, Davy, must draw from the black box. If a child draws the slip of paper with the black dot, he or she will be stoned. Children take part in the stoning. Little Davy is so small that he throws pebbles. Nancy Hutchinson and her brother Bill laugh when they draw blank lots. Only two people remain to draw, their father and mother. How could Nancy and Bill laugh when they know that their father or mother will draw the lot with the black spot and die? Mr. Hutchinson pulls from his wife's hand the slip of paper she has drawn--the losing lot- -and holds it up for all to see. He does not plead for his wife; he does not exhibit any sympathy. Instead, he becomes one of the executioners. Finished? Read, study spelling, AR, complete “character outline” if not done (on red chair up front); FINISH ANY INCOMPLETE WORK!! Closing: Share out
