Please Help!!! In Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," how does the contrast between the characters’ view of the lottery and that of readers' impact the story?
- Tessie's obviously negative view of the lottery after she wins conflicts with the readers' previous view of the lottery as rather mundane to create suspense about why Tessie gets so upset.
- The way the women of the village celebrate and take pride in the lottery goes against the readers' view of it as a shameful event and gives the text its wacky tone.
- The way the children of the town innocently approve of the lottery makes the readers' view of the lottery as foolish seem misguided and gives the story its conflict.
- The Hutchinsons' positive view of the lottery throughout the story differs from the readers' view of the lottery as suspicious from the very start to create humor as the story progresses.
Answer: A
Explanation: its most likely
Answer:A
Explanation:
This would make the most sense since in today’s society we view the lottery as a fun thing that you want to win. Seeing Tessie get upset and nervous about winning is confusing to the reader.

Answer:
1. "Papers came rushing out"
2 "The house looked down sadly"
3 "The sun greeted me"
4 "My feet were begging"
5 "The moon gently kissed her forehead"
6 "wind shrieking outside my window"
7 "The car threw a fit"
8 "My alarm clock nags me"
9 "The new video game started flying off the shelves"
10 "My bed was calling my name"
Explanation:
Personification in literature is when a non-human entity is given human-like traits. An example in Number 2, "The house looked down sadly as the family packed up all of their belongings." Of course, a house does not have a face or body, and thus it can not look down sadly at the family, so the house is being personified in this statement. Implying that the house is "sad" thats its owners are (probably) moving way.
Why personification?
Personification allows the author to create a more immersive world by giving non-human objects feelings and actions that we, as humans, can relate to.

The teenagers struggle to get enough sleep “despite the change in their internal body clocks, school start times and other schedules don’t change.” (Paragraph 11)
What is the main reason teenagers don't get enough sleep?Hormonal time change, puberty hormones shift the teenager's body clock ahead by about one or two hours, causing them more tired one to two hours afterwards.
Yet, while the teenager falls asleep later, early school begins don't let them sleep in.
Thus, “despite the change in their internal body clocks, school start times and other schedules don’t change.” (Paragraph 11).

The quotation that best provides a reason why teenagers struggle to get enough sleep is despite the change in their internal body clocks, school start times and other schedules don’t change.” (Paragraph 11). Option C is the correct answer.
This quotation highlights a significant factor contributing to teenagers' struggle to get enough sleep. It emphasizes that although teenagers experience changes in their internal body clocks during adolescence, school start times and other schedules remain the same. Option C is the correct answer.
This misalignment between their natural sleep patterns and early school start times can make it difficult for teenagers to obtain sufficient sleep. The quotation suggests that external factors, such as school schedules, play a role in teenagers' sleep deprivation. During adolescence, teenagers experience a shift in their internal body clocks, also known as circadian rhythms. This shift makes them naturally inclined to stay awake later at night and wake up later in the morning. However, early school start times often conflict with their biological sleep patterns, leading to insufficient sleep.

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter
The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.
We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.

What inference can be made about today's passage?
It may be difficult to tell when a story took place, unless an author explicitly states it, but the presence or absence of technology can help a reader make an approximate guess as to when the story was set. Only novels and short stories that were written very recently will include references to smartphones and apps. Storylines that include references to the internet were written within the past 25 years. If a story makes mention of a television, then it probably took place during or after the 1950s.
The modes of transportation that people take are more examples of technology that can help the reader determine roughly when the story took place. If a character takes a plane ride, then the story very likely took place after World War II because commercial air travel became popular after the war. A character riding in a car wouldn’t happen before the 1900s. Of course, if the story mentions more recent advances like power windows or a driverless car, then it is far more recent. Train travel would put the setting within the past 200 years. The absence of technology doesn’t always mean that the story took place hundreds of years ago, it could just mean that mentioning technology was not necessary to tell the story.
The use of planes in World War II helped create the commercial air travel industry.
Authors always include references to technology when they are writing about recent events.
Stories that mention smartphones are not very popular.
