lottery

     A person is walking down the street in front of an elementary school when an individual starts shooting at the children in the playground. Do you put yourself in the line of fire to save the children or do you just keep going and not look back? Is this a commentary on the short story the lottery or is it totally different. We are talking about putting your life at risk for another instead of stoning. I would say that they are similar due to the fact that there is always someone in the community that would be willing to sacrifice for the greater of good of the community.
       In the story the Lottery there are many different cliques amongst the community. Some of those cliques would be willing to walk on past the event that is going on and would not be willing to sacrifice their life for someone else but their are other cliques that would stop and help out that person who is being stoned to death. There is always two groups of people out there in the world. The first clique can possibly be described as the families that moved away and the other clique be represented by the ladies who picked up the large rocks.   
       Which clique would you belong to? Would be you willing to give your life for the greater good or would you be the one that would keep on going and ignore everyone else's needs. Lets hope that this decision never has to be made in actuality but there are many video games that have been invented with this purpose in mind and the military has done a lot of training with this in mind. So which would you be?

the room at the top floor of the house has had many different changes over the years from nursery to a gym and now our room so depressing.
John
you need to exercise and get plenty of fresh air as long as you are able and try to eat a healthy lunch.
Charlotte
our room has flamboyant wallpaper and has patches all over the room and the color is a very revolting and unclean yellow.
John
I am willing to change  the color of the room and add safety features

Wash the car on Saturday and vacuum it on Sunday. This is after you have gone to service. Do not sing the songs that you learned at the corral on the way to services. Go to school during the week unless it’s summer than mow the lawn and rake the grass. Then in the evenings water the lawn. On Tuesday, wash the outside of the windows and sweep the sidewalks and make sure you wear a hat you do not what to get a sunburn or cancer.  Then clean your room and take your clothes to the laundry room and hide your magazines, you know how mom is about those magazines. On Wednesday, chop and stack the fire wood so that by winter we will have enough for the winter then sweep and clean up the mess and do not break the handle in the axe. Thursday, help mom in the morning hoe the garden and water the flowers, check on the cattle, the chickens and make sure the feeders are full. They have water to drink and do not lick the salt lick you do not know where the cows mouth has been. Friday, work the sale at the corral and stay away from the men you drink too much and fight with each other, always remember to be nice to the ladies and greet them with respect.  Remember Friday night is bath night, so try to get there early the water the cleanest then. Go the dance on Friday night but stay away from the forward girls and the girls you don’t like and do not get in fights over those forward girls. If you are going to smoke make it cigars and do it outside so mom doesn’t smell it on your clothes.  Do not drink too much, you have work to do on Saturday. Remember the golden rule everything you do is a representation of the family name so keep your word don’t shirks your responsibilities and respect your elders.
