The Lottery by Shirley Jackson Text|Response| Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box. ...; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play.|Both of these text from the short story, give me an idea of how long this Lottery event has been taking place in this town. They both show me that this has been a tradition with rituals by the old Black Box as well as describing Old Man Warner as “the oldest man in town”.
He got to his house and Joel took him up to his room ere they could talk in private. Joel didn’t have much time to talk because it was almost supper but Joel still doesn’t know about the job because they were talking about Samson while they were in his room. At supper they ate in peace but then Joel’s dad started to question him he blew and went on a tangent about the Romans and got kicked out of the house and didn’t complete his mission. Daniel was embarrassed and angry that he had failed so on his way back he ran into a roman while drinking water and Daniel gave the horse water and gave the man the same water so he kicked the bowl out of his hand. That made Daniel furious so he hurled the bowl at the Romans face and dashed away but while he was running he got nicked with a spear and hid in house for a while.
The conspiracy theories behind Marilyn's demise are many. No-one really knows the full truth simply because those directly involved won't talk about it (and anyway most have died by now). It is definitely a fact that there were people present in Marilyn's house on the day and morning of her death. On Saturday morning August 4, 1962, Marilyn was up early for breakfast(grapefruit) having not slept well for most of the night. Apparently she was in bad form complaining about her house guest's (her personal publicist, Pat Newcomb, who had spent the night, woke at 9 A.M.) ability to sleep well while she couldn't.

He argued with himself. The worry had started a few hours before, while Ruth was sleeping. Now, he couldn’t rid himself of the fear. No matter how he reasoned, it didn’t help.”(Matheson 114). Neville always relied solely on science but his mind was so hopeful for companionship he overlooked his reasoning and let her inside his house.
The small town of Maycomb County has never been the same, since i got into some trouble when I stabbed my father in the leg with some scissors because we got into an argument! So now I stay in my house all day, every day. No one would talk to me anyways even if I did so it is just easier for everyone this way! The weather was unusually warm for the last day of October. The wind was growing stronger.
My skin color alarms me, I remember that I used to be slightly tanned, now I’m as white as snow. The rosiness is gone from my cheeks, in its place is a deathly pale similar to a zombie. The reason for this is that I haven't allowed even a tiny sliver of sunlight to enter my workplace, through the window at the back corner, and I have lived in my laboratory for a few months now. I sniff the air. What is that disgusting smell?
One night I was sleeping in this house which belonged to my grandparents. There had been many stories about hauntings that rumored around but I never believed any of them until this night. On this night I had woken up to use the restroom, everyone in the house was fast asleep and the only one that was missing was my grandpa who had been working late that night. As I was trying to go back to sleep heard a noise at the door. It was the sound of dangling keys and clanging metal.
Ezekiel I was twelve, the first time Ezekiel contacted me. I had to get a new phone, since my puppy thought it would be a good idea to devour the old one. I was one of those greedy kids who demanded the latest and greatest technology. I first asked for a Blackberry, and upon denial, I pouted for quite some time. Since we were relatively poor, and I was incredibly picky, my Grandpa settled things and said he would find the exact model of phone I had previously on eBay or Craigslist, since the model was no longer sold in stores.
