1. I would call this story The Lottery. This is because thats what the story is mainly about -a lottery.2. I thought that the person that won the lottery would have to leave the town because it was obvious no one wanted to win so I assumed something bad would happen.
3. I felt irritated and dissapointed because I wanted to know the ending. I wanted to see if I had been wrong.
4. I felt stupid because I wanted to know right away. I followed instructions, but then I forgot and I didn't open it until a week afterwards. Everyone had already told me the ending, so the suprise was ruined.
5. I didn't pay attention to the box, only to the black dot. It created some tension inside me because it was obviously a very bad sign to get the black dot.
6. No, instead of getting banned from the town, you got stoned to death. What I didn't like was that they were willing to kill children as well.
7. I was shocked. I didn't want anyone to be killed, but at the same time I didn't really like the lady that was killed so I was ok with it.
8. If the author had given me more information.
9. To create tension and questions in the audience.

"Wherefore rejoice What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way,
That comes in triumph over Pompeys blood?
Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude."
(Act 1, scene 1, lines 33-56)
This passage is significant because it shows how all the Romans suddenly switched from Pompey to Caesar as their favorite.
It is also significant because it shows how Marullus doesn't want Caesar as king of Italy.
Context:
Marullus is furious because all the Romans are out in the streets celebrating Caesar. The Romans used to be loyal to Pompey, and now Caesar defeated Pompey so now he is some kind of hero? The Romans are taking the day of wearing their nicest clothes.
