Wow, we had great dialogue about the Lottery today. Opinions varied but I want you to walk away from the story with this clear concept:

"We rationalize our barbaric behaviour or we often continue traditions without question."

The story was meant to be allegorical (highlight that) and concepts of sacrafice and scapegoating are present.

Tonight you need to read Paul's Case and answer # 1-6.
Remeber that we have a vocab quiz tomorrow on Miss Brill and The Lottery.

Get into your lit circle books and see what you can find on your selected author for your research paper.

We also reviewed how to use the semicolon and colon...get the notes from someone as you will be asked to use them properly in future essays.
