Jackson writes about the apparent warm friendship among the citizens; “They (the children) broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands” (Jackson). Even on the day of the lottery they were friendly to one another; “‘Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie,’ Mr. Hutchinson said, grinning, ‘Wouldn’t have me leaven m’dishes in the sink, now would you, Joe?,’ and soft laughter ran through the crowd.” Like any other small town gathering, the children played together, the woman gossiped, and the men talked among themselves. While people might appear innocent and friendly, they can be purely evil in
Moving on 1. The opening description of nature creates a sense of hope and optimism by mentioning things that you may describe as almost a utopia. The passage quotes ‘river… runs deep and green.

Sitting at the site on the stone made bench positioned off to the side of the memorial reminds me of sitting in the park appreciating the nice weather and not to mention there are few visitors passing by.

I felt calm and content remembering how I fell in love in the majestic fall. As I made my way up the mountain I took in the beauty of my surroundings. The trees were green and full of vitality which resembled my life. Birds flew and sang gracefully, and squirrels scurried away as I etched closer to them.

They had a very happy go lucky attitude and just seemed to be enjoying the time with their friends. They talked about school, the football game, their plans for the weekend, and the homecoming parade and court. They laughed and giggled a lot. Most of the time they walked around, but on occasion, they skipped along. Every now and then, they would stop to chat with another group of girls who seemed to be doing the same thing, although I didn’t focus much of my
