What character do you most believe would agree with the need for strong work ethic and why? Posted by ksidhu19 on Mar 27, 2009. |
The Lottery Group

Old Man Warner and Mr. Summers are the most tied in to the custom of the lottery. They revile change, and seem to represent the classic Puritan culture of tradition, stern adherence to rules and, one might infer, a strong work ethic. Tessie Hutchinson's lateness to the gathering and her light hearted comments as she slips into the crowd can be seen as irreverent. Her "untraditional" nature makes her seem like an outsider, almost, and the elders frown upon her. She is the antithesis of what the lottery, and men like Summers and Warner, are trying to preserve. Though the lottery is random, it is no surprise when she is the one selected for sacrifice. Posted by vkpteach on Mar 27, 2009. |
