Answer:

Hi, I just did an assignment off of this story as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Answer ~ Tessie's attitude was of disbelief, she complained about how Bill winning the jackpot was not fair, and how Mr. Summers didn't give Bill a chance to pick the piece of paper slip he wanted.

It then changes when Mr. Summers then takes Bill's paper, puts it back into the box and has their children pick a paper slip in each box. Since they all had start over with their family, the kids opened their slip first, it was blank. Bill opened his, and it was blank as well. Tessie opened hers, turns out Tessie received a black dot on her paper slip, meaning she was then chosen.
