The Lottery

The story "The Lottery" is about a ritual that takes place in a small town village.  This town had like 300 people who live there. All years they have to play a ritual.This is the time of summer on June 27th. They have to slip papers with the same amount of people in a black box. Everyone have to taker one paper and even the children.The person who had the black spot is the winner. All people then have to collect stones. The person who is the winner have to die.

The part that I like is when everyone is scare and want to know who is the winner. For me that part is very suspense. It makes me feel that I m in the story too. In one moment I feel that I was inside of the story.


1. Why this tradition start?
2. Why Mrs. Hutchinson was very scold?

My interpretation of this story is that thisd story is for time of halloween or when you want to read some scare stories.Also my interpretation is that people have afraid to change cultures or traditions that are bad.

My partner at work composition#3

       On September 15, 2009 I went into a women's clothing store. I told the mananger that I was looking for a job and asked if he was hiring people. He told me "yes, I"m hiringand I want a girl to work in this store." So, he told me to bring copies of passport and social security card. He gave me some papers to fill out andto bring them the next day.
       I went the next day; I brought the copies of the passport and the social security card with the papers that he gave me. I started to work the next day. I felt good at tyhe beginning because I would have my own money. The women's clothing storeis located in Steinway, Astoria NY. This job was perfect for me because it was near from my high school.
       Two weeks later, while I was working a co-worker girl looked at me but in a angry way. She was from Mexico with blonde hair and not tall. She was that kind of person that evrything must be in the way she want. That moment when she looked at me as if she was angry, I didn't say anything to her.
       Next day, when I was in the stairs she was passing and she pushed me down  so I could fell but I held the railing so I didn't fell.  I asked her what was wromg with her and she told me that it was an accident. She and I went to the mananger and the only think that he said was "goodbye, and never come back"
       I felt that it was unjust and unfair because she was the only fool person and because of her I lost my job.

" A Chip Of Glass Ruby"

            "A Chip of Glass Ruby" is about a family who is under pressure . The mother want to do something that she want . She do copies of papers that gives hope to black people. But her husband Mr.Banjee is against this. Her older daughter is pregnant from Mohammad Ms banjee had four more child. One day the police came to t6heir homes and took the machine of the copies and took her to jail. She suffer days of hunger later on Mr Banjee went to saw her in the jail.
            I like this story because is a great example of do what our heart and mind says . Ms Banjee never stop to do copies even when the husband was angry with her.She continue to do more and more because she thaught that with do her voluntair labor will help to give hope for black peolpe.

            Something taht is a litlle confious is how the police knew that Ms Banjee was doing copies . I think that were peolpe whgo tried to eliminate Ms Banjee. Maybe that person hate black people.
1- How the police knew that Ms Bnjee was doincg copies?
 I this this story means that we have to fight for our rights or for the things that we think that is good
