Evil
What it means to be evil is to be cruel and cold hearted. Also to be evil you can always be mean. In 'what a thought' Mrs. Marget was evil in her own way because she always had thoughts on killing her husband. The next story that relates to evil is 'The lottery" the way evil is connected to this story is that all the people in town agreed to throw rocks at tessie until she died. The last story that has evil in it is 'The possibility of evil' and Mrs.Strangworth was evil because she was writing letters to familys in the town she lived in telling them false information causing familys to argue and even breaking friendships up.
The lottery
Mr. Summers called the names off slip for the lottery and tessie won the lottery. But they stoned her to death because she had the dot on her lottery slip. This is an example because this is not normal in the modern days and Jackson always has stories that happens back in the old days or things that dont normally happen in life.
What a thought
Marget has thoughts on killing her husband in the beginning of the story.'' Drown him, the gold fish bowl suggested'' that was Marget thoughts. This is an example because her story started out normal then ended drastically because she had mental problems that she could not control .
The possibility of evil
At the end of the story Mrs. Strangworth was caught going to the post office but her letter fell out of the mail box . ''Ill take it over anyway the harris said''. This is how Mrs.strangworth was caught writing the letters. This is an example because people usally dont send letters playing with people minds unless they are weird like Jackson.
Bat strikes kid
This is opposite of evil because A player who was warming up accidentally hit him in the chest with a bat. Kevin’s heart stopped beating. then Penny brown ran over and started CPR on him then he came back to life. This is the opposite of evil because someone who is evil would have just sat there and watch the poor kid die on the baseball field.
