This week, we were given a response paper to write about a piece of fiction, except for the Hemingway story we read in class.
The short story I chose to do the paper on was "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, which I read in high school. I didn't understand the story back then, because I was too young to really grasp the concept. I found the story online, re-read it, and I began to appreciate it better than I did when I was a teenager.
The assignment itself proved to be exciting for me, and, even though it was a bit of a challenge at first trying to find a story I could use for it, I think I made the right choice by picking "The Lottery" as the piece to write the paper on. I was considering looking for a piece in one of Literature books I used in the Creative Writing classes I took in Middlesex County College, but I think "The Lottery" is appropriate for this paper.
