The Ending of 'The Lottery'

I compare the ending of the Lottery how they choice one person out of a hat to get stoned to The Holocaust. I compared these too things because in both cause the choice is very random, and it proves nothing other then less people in the world. I find the ending of 'The Lottery' very selfish, even though people are fighting for the lives through poverty, cancer etc.. they will still take the life of a completely healthy individual. This is the same as 'The Holocaust' to because the Nazi's just took the life millions of innocent and healthy Jew's, gays, and blacks. This shows how judgemental our world is today, and how we don't accept many of raises, and people who don't meet our expectations. Or what we think people are suppose to look like. I find it very ironic how the person that was the happiest got chosen to get stoned. Like how the jews would do anything to survive but the Nazi's wanted nothing to do with them.

Top 3 Holidays

I choice the top 3 holidays, because everyone has a different perception of what holidays they like and to the ones they dislike.

My criteria for the top 3 holidays was what makes it special to me, what is the best part of the holiday, and one thing you dislike about the holiday.

1. My birthday- My birthday is April 17th, this is my favorite holiday because it is about me, its when I turn a year older, not anyone else in my family. The best part of this holiday is it sets me apart from other people. One thing I dislike is how you have to eat cake. And I don't like cake.

2. Christmas- Christmas is special to me because you get to spend time with your family everyone together, and in the morning i get to drink shanpane and orange juice, and later at night you get to have a BIG christmas dinner with all my family together. The best part of the holiday is of course the wonderful presents you recieve from your family members. One thing I dislike about this holiday is all the money I have to spend on all my family members, and I have a big family too.

3. Thanksgiving- Thanksgiving is special to me because you get to tell your everyone how thankful you are for everything they have given you and how much you appreciate having them in your life. The best part about this holiday is when my family all sits around the table and tells everyone what they are most thankful for, I believe this is important because this is the one day in a year that you can actually tell someone how much they meant to you. The one thing I dislike about this holiday is how you eat turkey on thanksgiving because I HATE turkey.
