I hope you enjoyed one of the most controversial stories in history!!!!

We started off class with a small discussion on "The Doll's House"; we talked about themes of status, material values, superficiality, and the division of social classes. Students then worked on questions for the story.

After that, we read Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and discussed its history/significance. We will continue the literary analysis of the story next class.
