Along the beginning of the book Meg shows that she loves her missing father as you can tell by the quote “Meg looks in the falling stars and wishing to know where her father is” (L'Engle 23). But what you don’t know is that the stars are people from the future that have come to help Meg solve the missing of Mr. Murry. They are the good people trying to defeat the bad. Another example is after school when Meg and Charles Wallace were walking home from school; other kids come by and pick on Charles Wallace for being a weirdo.
The new bicycle is soon forgotten when they move across the country, once again creating disappointment. Jeanette always needed a reason for doing things, unless her parents told her otherwise. She was maturing “I had always wanted a watch…that was the kind of person I wanted to be” (Walls 216). This shows her need for practicality or reasoning and her plans for the future and where she stands in level of maturity. Her mother brings home a piano, but there is no room for it in the house.
But although it is the shortest it is also the most important part, because that is the first time you get a sense on what Biss actually feel.

Then she goes on telling the story her dad had passed on to her about her grandfather falling from a telephone pole and breaking his back. The innocent stories from her childhood and how she thought the poles were beautiful. “Now, I tell my sister, these poles, there wires do not look the same to me.

This could be because the author thinks it’s irrelevant or that it could make the story

The tradition of “The Lottery” in this case is similar to religious traditions because religion in most instances is passed on to children at a very early age without question and children rarely openly question their parents’ choice in that matter. In addition, the villagers in this story sacrificed a symbolic scapegoat as their means of atonement. The 300 townspeople of a small New England town gather
Evelyn Valle English 213, American Lit HW: Essay March 19, 2014 “’But above all,’ she wrote, ‘night and day, I thank the good God for having so arranged our lives that our dear Armand will never know that his mother, who adores him, belongs to the race that is cursed with the brand of slavery.” --Désirée’s Baby; Kate Chopin An Expected Surprise While reading many short stories, the audience often encounters twists in the story that seem to be surprising.
