Blog Post Introduction:
The focus of this blog is mainly about how the people in the village stoned a memeber to death if they picked the black dotted paper. So this analysis " The Lottery" book. Literary Analysis: One component that is identified as a theme in the story would be hierarchy. The motif in the story would be the black box and how people had to pick out the paper with the black dot. Also the conflict is that people were trying decide whether to still move on with tradition, if it is still a good idea or not. Argumentation: I would say Hazing is a current American tradition that has similarities with The lottery. Hazing is mostly associated with colleges, it is a very dangerous culture or tradition that usually happens most of the time. There are really bad injuries involved as well which could lead to extreme cases. So I would say for Hazing has a lot of similarities with The Lottery. Narration: I made an important choice breaking away from an old friend of mine who I thought was my bestfriend but unfourtunately it was the opposite. It was really hard because we did everthing together, she knew everything about me and I always thought she would be there for me no matter what. The main reason why I had to break away from her was because I trusted her and told her my deepest secrets but she went and told people whereby everyone found out. I was disappointed and she knew I was hurting but she never apologized or even admitted to what she did which really made me upset. So I then realised the best thing for me was to move on with my life and break away from her.

I agree with you that hazing has so much similarities with "The Lottery". They are traditions that need to be broken. All they do is cause harm to innocent people.
