Thematic Analysis – “The Lottery” Have you ever wondered why your parents made up the story of Santa when we were little? We have a bunch of traditions that we never really question or think why they are there. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a short story that is a perfect example of people not thinking of traditions.

These dangers are produced by our history. They rest on the fact that in order to conquer this continent, the particular aloneness of which I speak—the aloneness in which one discovers that life is tragic, and therefore unutterably beautiful—could not be permitted. And that this prohibition is typical of all emergent nations will be proved, I have no doubt, in many ways during the next fifty years.

APUSH, Period 5 13 November 2013 Consanguinity (DBQ #2) The relationships and interactions between the Native Americans and the English were very complex and delicate. Often times they started out very friendly but over time they changed to very hostile and aggressive relations. The English wanted land and resources and the Natives wanted their land back. When these two forces met with a conflict there was almost always death and bloodshed. Due to the excessive amount of conflicts, it was inevitable not to have battles, peace agreements, and to this day Native Americans are not pleased with Caucasian people.
Back in the 1950s single parents home were considered taboo, you rarely ever saw it, that and interracial couples were never shown on Leave It to Beaver, nor were those who were part of the lgbt community. Fast forward to 2004 and you have a whole new set of parents, they show two other families consisting of an interracial couple and a still controversial gay male couple. Jay an older man who is divorced finds love again with a younger hot Latina named Gloria, who has a son.

When the paralysis reaches my chest I shall die: probably tonight.” (Le Guin, 144). The environment that the protagonist is in, impacts his psyche.
Those questions had a huge impact on my decisions on many things now. I mean, I always had a sensitive side for animals but after reading this article it made me realize a lot more things.
