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

''The Miracle Worker''

One of the best books that I read in my whole life is ‘’The Miracle Worker. ’’ This is a book that shows us how perseverance can change a person and how to be stronger in life. Honestly I don’t remember who wrote but I know that the book is based on a true story.

            The book is about Helen Keller, how she suffer in her life. She was blind, deaf and mute, but even with disabilities she earn a bachelor of arts degree. When Helen Keller was a child she had a teacher. The teacher’s name was Anne Sullivan. She taught Helen the way that a person has to be. Anne Sullivan taught her the deafblind language, even when the family of Helen Keller opposed the way that Anne Sullivan was trying to teach and educate Helen. No matter what the family of  Helen thought , Sullivan was determinated to educate Helen. Years later Helen earn a degree and was available to communicate to other people by the deafblind language.

            The first time that I read this book was in Englisn class in high school two years ago. I think Anne Sullivan did a good job with Helen because it very difficult to teach a person that is deaf, blind and mute, but Anne Sullivan did it. Anne was patient, perserving and a strong woman. ‘’The Miracle Worker’’ is a good book because it demostrates that even with problems, difficults or with disabilities we can fight to have a good life. Also , tbe book shows us that no matter how difficult life can be we should never give up . Anne Sullivan was astubborn person, years later she was happy because that was a good decision, Helen could almost have a normal life .

            When I think about it now , I feel  that I can  persevere and solve  my problems. While i was reading the book i felt sad but  at  the end  of the book my feelings were completely different , i felt happy.

I recommended this book to all kinds of people  no matter if they are young or older, this book could change personality or the way to see the life.
