Please complete questions 7, 8, and 9 on "The Lottery".  Think about rituals and their functions (they help bind societies).  Does this ritual bind the society?  What does this ritual say about this town and its people?  Who wants to keep the lottery?  Who wants to scrap it?  How do people in general feel about it?  You can get a sense of their feelings by looking at how they treat the black box.
