  • idk why, but i feel like you only made this video just to show your nails off...you're using your hands wayyy too much! I hate it when people talk to me this way!

  • @freakinHawtNESS Ummmm no I made it because I enjoy talking about literature

  • Great analysis! Couldn't have explained it any better!

  • @punkx52 Thanks!!

  • I just read the story for my college level English and it was a shocking story. The whole story kept you thinking of what the lottery is but kind of gotten a sense of it being a bad thing. The end just completely catches you off guard... I was wondering why they gathered stones... And I also thought your view on the story was right on target! Good job!

  • @Zelman2120 Yeah... the first time I read it I felt sick!

    Thanks! =)

see all

  • Thanx girl. I have to write a 6 page analysis for this story and honesty... I didnt understand the story at all.

  • I think your take on the story is so accurate. The first time I read it, I was like WHAT?? Anyway, I am taking a coming-of-age course and you said that we could give you our interpretation of the story. I interpreted the story by looking at through the context of coming-of-age. Most young men or women usually come of age through tradition, and sometimes they may want to question that tradition. I don't know if that is exactly in accordance with what you were saying but thats what i got.

  • Saw a kid then left.

  • You really have helped me so much....now I can do my 350 word response :)

  • Oh OK! Great job anyways!
