“The Lottery” is a story written by Shirley Jackson in 1948 and tells the story of a town that takes part in a barbaric ritual every year on June 27th. There are several themes in this short story. The main themes in “The Lottery” are our aversion to examine and challenge outdated ideas and rituals‚ that society will pick scapegoats to carry its wrongs and the horrors in following the crowd. The townspeople in “The Lottery” blindly go along with an appalling custom having lost the reason behind

Generally‚ near the sea‚ in the coast‚ the temperature is softer than in the centre of a country‚ so I would like to live in a house next to the beach‚ where I can see the sea from the windows‚ hear the sound of water‚ enjoy a warm weather and walk on the sand every morning.

I would enjoy reading and listening

“My Old House and My New House” My old house was my better than the new house that I live. The reason is because this house was quite different in comparison to living in the one I live now.

I have noticed the similarities between the two and how they differ from each other; the differences are: The old house was more bigger and the house that I live now is much

English November 02‚ 2012 The short story‚ "The Fall of the House of Usher‚" and the movie‚ the House of Usher‚ are two very unalike pieces of work.

Although the movie has a few noticeable similarities‚ Hollywood loses the true value and the plot of the original short story. The House of Usher creates a whole new story‚ that takes the name of the story

They both believe in reincarnation (something bad happens to you it’s
