*Bell Ringer: “The Lottery”: Discuss this
quote with your partner (make sure to remember something to share with the
large 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
