Symbolism


         In the story The Lottery Shirley Jackson there are many symbols. One of the symbolism  is the  black box. The black box meant death and tradition because every year they would pick a name from the black box and who every won get rocks thrown at them. Another symbolism is the black rocks because the rocks meant death and torture. It meant death because the rocks would kill you and when the rocks are getting thrown at you are getting tortured.

         Another reason is the black spotted ticket is it meant death and curse.  It meant that because when you got picked you would die because the rocks would kill you. This is important because if there was not winner there would be not point with this tradition.  Also this is a tradition so there has to be a winner every year.

A crack in a mirror.


I once was the prettiest mirror in town. Until the most evil guy came in town. He went to go wash his dirty hands when he looked in the mirror. When he look in the mirror he gave it the hardest punch of all. He hated mirrors so bad he got arrested for being the mirror cracking thief. He was a thief because he would crack the mirror and they take all of the little pieces back home.  The police said fix the mirror while your in jail. The mirror might have had millions of little cracks but the town was happy and the mirror was still the prettiest mirror in town. Once he fixed the mirror he never punched them again.

Bikes Benefit All

       Authors Note: This is a 5 paragraph essay that shows Pewaukee School Distract why kids should be allowed to ride their bikes to and from school. 

            Why should kids at Pewaukee School Distract be allowed to ride bikes to and from school? There are many reasons why kids should be able to ride their bikes. But with Pewaukee new rules they have stopped us from ridding our bikes to and from school. This is why I am here to protest agents Pewaukee’s new rules that have taken in place. There are kids that live within the boundaries can’t get rides from the busses and majority of the parents are working. They have two options to walk to school or ride a bike. Also school pays the crossing guards to walk us across the street safely. There are many reason why kids should be able to ride there bike at school because it a fast and efficient way of getting to and from school.  

To start my argument, when there are after school programs that are occurring like basketball practices and track and you have no way of getting a ride home. Most people would say go ride a bike but all of the new rules that have taken place at Pewaukee Schools would be against the new rules. Also if you live within the mile radios from school they would have two options to walk to school or ride a bike. Majority of the kids would chose to ride bikes because it is faster than walking.

           On the other hand, when walking to and from school it takes a large amount of time out of you day. There are kids that don’t want to be late to school and when they can’t get a ride from the buss there can be problems. Bikes are supper efficient because they don’t run on gas or any harmful wastes to hurt the environment. That is why it is important to be able to ride your bike to school.

           Another reason why kids should rid their bike’s to school is because the school pays the crossing guards help with the traffic the same as they do with the people. They help walk or ride their bikes. And what was previously said by school staff would be prohibited on school grounds. 

To close my argument, there are many reasons why kids should be allowed to ride there bike to school. Science the new rules have taken place it would be prohibited on Pewaukee Schools grounds. Kids have after school clubs like basketball and track and have no way of getting home. The only way on getting home fast and efficient is to ride there bike. Kids won’t be late if there ride there bike’s to school. There are reasons why kids should be able to ride there bike to and from school because it a quick and efficient way of getting to and from school.
