Many people have been
dying to win the lottery, especially in this story.
Dying. What a strong word. We normally associate the lottery with tons and tons of mone, as a good thing. However, that is not present in this story, ironically. Oh the irony. The story was quite disturbing, and I found myself thinking. Why so serious... I mean violent. Has mankind turned into people with no emotions, who are bent on killing each other. Yes, this may be a tradition, but I find this tradition an excuse to kill. I find this "lottery" unacceptable. Put yourself in the person's shoes. Your trepidation, the tension, and if you are the winner of the lottery... what would happen? A sense of shock, surprise? Anger or just dazed?
Those were how the A level students felt when they saw their marks. The tension, the excitement, the anger, the disappointment. All these emotions were present. However, when we were given a half-day thanks to the good results of the A-levels, or we could feel was gratitude, happiness and freedom. We were free.
