The main character of "The Lottery" is not Yessis Hutchinson, but rather Tessie Hutchinson. To answer your second question, the best description of the story's plot is option A: Village residents gather for a lottery, one family is named the winning family, and then one member of the family becomes the winner.
To find out the main character's name, you can refer to the original text of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. This short story is widely available online and in various collections of Jackson's work. Reading the story will also give you a better understanding of its plot and themes.
In "The Lottery," the plot revolves around an annual lottery held in a seemingly quaint and peaceful village. The townspeople gather for the lottery, and eventually, it is revealed that one family has been chosen as the winner. However, instead of receiving a prize, the member of the chosen family who draws a particular slip of paper becomes the winner in a very different sense: they are stoned to death by the rest of the villagers. The story explores themes of tradition, conformity, and the violence that can lie beneath seemingly ordinary settings.
So, in summary, the main character is Tessie Hutchinson, and the best description of the story's plot is A: Village residents gather for a lottery, one family is named the winning family, and then one member of the family becomes the winner.
Yes, Tessie Hutchinson is the main character.
Which do you think best describes the plot?
I think selection "a" about the village residents gather for a lottery, etc:
Is that correct?
I don't recognize that first name, but yes, Mrs. Hutchinson is the main character.
This all depends on what your teacher means by "describes the plot."
A is a good plot summary, but the violence is not indicated.
B and C are not complete sentences, so it's hard to tell.
