Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." Explain what is learned by the actions of the characters
in the excerpt.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own
children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and
taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones
in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled
rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house
dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk.
They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip
as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women,
standing by their husbands, began to call to their
children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be
called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his
mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the
pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby
came quickly and took his place between his father and
his oldest brother.
O The lottery was a happy occasion because the men
told jokes, the children laughed, and the women were
able to exchange gossip.
O The lottery may not have been a happy occasion
because the men smiled rather than laughed, and the
children were apparently very hesitant to join their
families when it started.
O Most of the villagers were indifferent about the lottery
since it was held every year, and they already knew
the outcome this time.
O Most of the yillagers were ready to do away with the
lottery since was an outdated custom, carried over
from years past.

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.
