Fire lady

I think that the fire symbolizes the holocaust, sacrifice by fire, and I think she is looking into the future. People will be burnt to death and I think that was what she was seeing what will happen in those places in the near future. I also think that she is another example like Moshe the Beatle they both see things but nobody believes them and both of them are signs of God telling them what is about to happen.

9 Sentence Paragraph the Lottery

In Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" irony is illustrated through the community event of the Lottery. Initially the reader begins to assume that the lottery is an event where something is won, but as the story progresses, one realizes that the lotter is  a death sentence.
In the first paragraph the author describes everything happy and it says it was sunny and that flowers were blooming and it illustrates new light.
"The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the halloween dance"
"Then the children start gathering rocks,""The black box""Mr. Grave"
These things foretell that this is not a normal lottery and there will be something bad that will happen.
