*Bell Ringer: “The Lottery”: Respond to this quote
in your writer’s notebook, after discussing it with your group: “Explaining
just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I suppose, I hoped,
by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own
village to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the
pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.” –Shirley Jackson
