1. Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and Franz Kafka’s “In the Penal Colony” both deal with a gruesome tradition that is seemingly unnecessary and unjustifiable. Compare these two traditions, paying particular attention to the language and imagery used to describe each.
I picked this topic because I really felt like I could explain traditions. "The Lottery" really kept me interested because of the language and imagery. I had no idea what was going to happy and I feel it will be interesting to expand on the idea of tradition.I think it will be easy to compare intresting traditions. "In the Penal Colony" also had a lot of imagery and suspense.
I really don't know what else to say about why I picked it. I really just liked the story "The Lottery" because I feel it was well written and kept the reader intuned.
