Some rituals in "the lottery" had continued while others had not. name one ritual that had continued to the time of this story. explain why this ritual was necessary to ensure conformity among members of the community. provide two details from the story to support your response.

One ritual that continued to the time of the story was the old black box being used to hold the villagers’ names. This ritual was necessary to ensure conformity among the members of the community because it kept a sense of tradition to the Lottery, so the villagers would fear discontinuing the Lottery- they’d be afraid of what would happen if they stopped the ancient ritual- it had been going on for a long time, so none of the villagers knew what would happen if they discontinued it.

One ritual that had continued to the times of the story The Lottery was the tradition of the lottery day. They kept the same black box every year even though it was falling apart. The ritual was necessary to ensure conformity among members of the community because they had practiced it for so long that the people didn't know what would happen if they didn't do it. They actually feared what would happen if they forsook the tradition. Two details from the story that support this need for the lottery occur when the old man talks about how some other towns got rid of the lottery and everyone was surprised and patronized the other villages because of it, and the other time is when everyone gathered together to stone Mr. Hutchinson at the end and no one questioned if it was wrong or not.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
