Make it fast

Authors note: I am doing  it a short story of the story the "Lottery". This piece shows that if Tessie's friend graped a big rock to throw at her to led to Tessie's death.

If you had to die, would you want it fast or slow? In the short story Tessie is pick as the "winner" of the lottery. Because of trdencin she has no choice but to die. Another way how that is interesting is Tessie was taking the place of her husband because his leg was broken. Techincally the husband should have died. And as a final result she gets killed.

Now how does Tessie get killed? Believe it or not, her friend kills her. How that came to be is the children gallered rocks so then adults would throw rocks at Tessie which would make it a long painful death. The people did it because of the power and control the government have of the people which is a theme in the short story.  But in some sick brodul why her friend did the right thing by throwing the biggest rock at her head.  So then she would not have to have a slow painful death. All that Tessie had to deal with was "Mrs. Hutchinson (Tessie) screamed, and then they were upon her".  And that is the way Tessie probably died.

As in the last paragraph I said that it was her friend that killed her fast. I reminds me of one of the Pirates of the Carabion. Because in the beginning of that movie, pirates were getting h and how that reminds of the short story is that they overall made it go fast.  That is how that reminds me of that movie.

Overall you can see that the theme of power and control in the government have a big impact on the town but most of all, on Tessie. That is the theme of the short story "The lottery".

Back to Old School Baseball

Authors Note: This is a writing essay that is used for the Lake country writing contest and the theme of the contest was “If you could travel back in time”.

There are many possibilities that you could accomplish with a time machine. In my case one of the things that I personally would enjoy is going to an old time baseball game. When I’m at the baseball game I’ll try to get some baseball cards and autographs from the world’s greatest baseball players to ever play. This is where my adventure starts.

On my first adventure I would go back to 1911 and not to get an autograph but to get a baseball card. Not just any baseball card, the world’s most valuable baseball card. The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card! In 2008 the card sold for $1.6 million dollars.  To fit in. I would wear the clothes they had back in the era. I would take money so I could that get as many T206 Honus Wagner cards as I could for $20 per card. Back then that was great money for a baseball card. ($20 equal to 200 pounds of bread in 1925!!). I would let people know that I am interested by putting up fliers and putting ads in the newspaper. That would be my first adventure if I could go back in time.

On my second adventure, I would go back to 1926 to see Babe Ruth when he was on the top of his game. (Batting .372 with 47 homeruns and 146 RBI’s). None the less, I would go to the game before and after to try to get an autograph from Babe. If all else fails, I would get other Yankee’s autographs. And that would be my second adventure if I could go back in time.

In my third and last adventure I would to 1951 to see Mickey Mantle when he was invited to the Yankees Spring Training as a rookie. As like my other adventure I would try to get Mickey’s autograph along with other players on the Yankees for example, Yogi Berra. To add on I would watch him play in spring training. Finally I would also try to find a couple of his baseball cards which sells for two thousand to three thousand in really good condition. That is where I would go on my final adventure if I could go back in time.

Overall, in my adventures you can see that there would be a good chance of being successful with my plans. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a time machine. You can always dream about having one. In the end, there are many possibilities that you could accomplish with a time machine if they existed.
