Under what circumstances should a tradition be reconsidered or discontinued? in lottery by shirley jackson story

English
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]1 year ago

Answer:

It should be discontinued if it isn't morally right to do.

Explanation:

The tradition in <em>The</em><em> </em><em>Lottery</em><em> </em>was that every year, the town would have a lottery. Whoever won would be stoned and killed. They don't really have a reason to do this other than it being a tradition that has already been done dozens of times.

A tradition should be discontinued if it isn't morally right. It isn't right to kill a town member every year for doing nothing wrong, so it should be discontinued.

A cliche is a well-worn phrase used in conversation or in writing that has lost it's meaning. It's been overused.  For example, "She was frightened to death to pet the pitbull..."  "frightened to death" is the cliche.

Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

The correct answers are

[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;] </u>

<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>

and

[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

And this, alas, is more than we would do.]


In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.

In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.

In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.
