The Lottery

#1   A lottery is a type of gambling that a state or town presents which is based on luck.  The title makes me expect that it would be no different from the lottery today.  This story talked about the beginning of a lottery in a village.  It seemed like this was from when the lottery was invented.  They would have a box and every towns person who entered would pick a folded piece of paper only one had something written on it.  The person that had that one was the winner.  


#8 This story is presented from the objective point of view because it is based on other peoples opinions.  For example,  when the towns people did not want to change the box because it was a tradition from when the village started, and some of them were alive for that.  Every year the towns people were suggested in having a new box, but that did not happen because they did not want to break a tradition.

I had some trouble with understanding the rest of ? #8
