"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.
The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.
Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.
The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]

.Martin Luther King, Jr. ‘s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” (1963). •In at least a paragraph, describe a persuasive moment of the speech. QUOTE THE LINE! Explain why it was so memorable. DO NOT USE THE FIRST LINES.
Explanation: In Birmingham, Alabama, in the spring of 1963, King’s campaign to end segregation at lunch counters and in hiring practices drew nationwide attention when police turned dogs and fire hoses on the demonstrators. King was jailed along with large numbers of his supporters, including hundreds of schoolchildren. His supporters did not, however, include all the Black clergy of Birmingham, and he was strongly opposed by some of the white clergy who had issued a statement urging African Americans not to support the demonstrations. From the Birmingham jail, King wrote a letter of great eloquence in which he spelled out his philosophy of nonviolence:Near the end of the Birmingham campaign, in an effort to draw together the multiple forces for peaceful change and to dramatize to the country and to the world the importance of solving the U.S. racial problem, King joined other civil rights leaders in organizing the historic March on Washington. On August 28, 1963, an interracial assembly of more than 200,000 gathered peaceably in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial to demand equal justice for all citizens under the law. Here the crowds were uplifted by the emotional strength and prophetic quality of King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, in which he emphasized his faith that all men, someday, would be brothers.

Consider what you have learned about Beat poetry. Write a poem that is at least eight lines long and is in the Beat style. Refer back to the Beat poems you read in this lesson for examples. Your poem should have a clear subject and theme and use such Beat styles as free form and irreverence. Your poem should also address an important societal issue, such as poverty or inequality. To improve your poem, try brainstorming, drafting, and revising your poem multiple times.
Answer:
Ode to capitalism
The most polite ones that excuse me
But the weak, please disappear
And succumb to the power of capital
May the great ones grow even more
And that encourage competition, dishonesty and intolerance
I'm not interested in the hungry
the homeless and barefoot
If I am guaranteed abundance and abundance.
Explanation:
The poem above was made in eight verses and was inspired by the poetry presented by the beat generation.
The poem makes an ode to capitalism and evokes irresponsibility of this system with the most needy who are exploited in favor of those who are in a situation of advantage and privilege within our society and who basically do not care about anything as long as their sovereignty is guaranteed.
Write an article for the school magazine, your life can only be good if you have a lot of money
(sorry im not the best at writing!)
A common pharse that can be heard anywhere by anyone, “you can be happy without money.” although that can be true, i believe that you need money, and a great sum of it, to have a good life. Picture this, you are given $100 dollars, while your sister is given $1,000,000. Her life would most definitely be greater than yours. your sister could go to college, get a good job, buy a house, and be able to afford anything she needed, but you? Your life would be terrible. Living on the streets, only having enough money to buy a few meals. Now, you could easily be poor and have a great life, but with more money comes more power, and more freedom to do what you want, explore where nobody has every been before, and most importanty, live a life how you want it.
hi sorry for the quality, I’m only in high school and didnt have time to edit, i hope this helped nonetheless and it would mean a lot If you gave me a brainliest, ok thanks bye!

snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails. The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind
