1) I was surprised because I didn't expect that those stones were to be used to hit Tessie.

The
foreshadowing started when people gather stones and stated that Martin has his pocket full of
stones. She made us think it was just an ordinary day by stating the place and the word
“lottery.”
2) In the square, between the post office and the bank with clear and sunny day. In a way that it
was likely a peaceful morning but the ending was opposite. It made me less likely to anticipate
the ending because I didn’t expect it’s going to be that brutal.
3) Because of their action. Because that’s what she showed to the crowd, people can tell things
from what they only see.
4) The title itself and the winner of the lottery. It became Ironic because winning the lottery can be
considered as lucky but, in this story, it seems to be very unlucky to be the winner of the lottery.
Same as the opening description, how ironic that the peaceful morning became that brutal.

7) Those things will decide who’s going to be the winner of the lottery. The black box is described
as “battered” because it also symbolizes the winner that is being battered with the use of
stones.
8) She told us that tradition is tradition and needs to be followed even though it can be harmful for
everyone.
9) The laws of North Korea, not just you will be punished if you disobeyed the law but also your
family.
10) Maybe the war itself, it’s easy to kill/hurt somebody than stopping the war.
