How much do traditions affect our lives? Think about events in The Lottery as an example. Shirley Jackson shows tradition to be so strong and powerful in this society that the rational mind can’t even bring others to reason.
Write about a tradition that you have in your family. What do you celebrate? How often? Why? Do you understand the significance of why your family enacts this tradition?
(Think about things you do on holidays, at reunions, on birthdays, funerals, or at other annual or regular events.)
