Why do the townspeople agree to take part in the lottery and turn against each other? Do

you think their willingness to take part in the lottery makes them bad people? Why or why
not? Can you think of any real-world examples where people have done bad things for what
they believed to be a greater good? Cite examples from the text, your own experience, and
other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Answer:

The lottery thing is a vice that if you like it the first time, you always like it... That has a good part and a bad part :)

The good part is: That you don't spend much time on the phone and it helps you with your memory to remind you of almost everything you need...

The bad part is: That it is a vice that you do not get out of your head and that you play day and night, if you are a fan of the lottery :) That's why our f mily doesn't play that much :D
