*Bell Ringer: “The Lottery”
continued: Respond to this quote in your writer’s notebook: “Explaining
just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I suppose, I hoped,

village to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the
pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.” –Shirley Jackson
