Write an essay on The Analysis of The Lottery

Write an essay on The Analysis of The Lottery

Here are the official instructions for the short essay that is due at the end of Week 6.4-5 page essay
The topic for this paper can be any of the materials we have read up through week 5 this
includes the following: “The Lottery,” “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” The Code of
Hammurabi, The Book of Deuteronomy, Antigone, Dante’s Inferno, or “The Trial of Susanna
Martin” from Cotton Mather’s Wonders of the Invisible World.
What I would like you to do is to choose one of the works above and write a short paper that
contains two parts. The first part will be a discussion of the work in its historical context: based
on the selections I gave you, what constitutes effective law and order in the society that
created the document. What constitutes criminal behavior? How do its legal codes differ from
those in twenty-first-century America? The second portion of the essay will be an expansion of
what we have been talking about on the discussion board. I would like you to talk about a
contemporary issue that mirrors or is reminiscent of the issues described in the literature—how
are they the same and how are they different. For example: the death penalty is a crucial part
of both Deuteronomy and The Code of Hammurabi; what sorts of controversies surround the
death penalty today? Another example: We see Creon’s inflexibility as a lethal character flaw.
Has inflexibility in our legal system caused any controversial problems? (The three-strikes laws
come to mind here.)
This paper should be between 4-5 pages in length, though longer is almost always better. It
should be written in proper MLA format with a works cited page.
A couple of notes: In most cases, I have given you only a small portion of an entire work. If you
think that reading a larger portion would help you write the paper, by all means do so (for
example, the complete Code of Hammurabi can be found online.) For all of the readings I gave
you, I will provide the works cited information. For any other sources you use you will have to
find the information yourself.
