Citizens Make The Rules
Power to the villagers!
Thesis Statement
"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut and "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson shows the end of government and tradition in the civilization
Quotes/ Analysis "The Lottery"
Quote: “"It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him ” (Jackson 7).
Analysis: This supports my thesis by saying that the government killed people because of how they looked and how they were. The citizens should make the laws because they know what’s best for each other rather than the government trying to make things better for everyone.
