What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph

1 answer:

3 0

An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously). The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it. Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense. Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

What would have happened if someone in the town in "The Lottery" decided to speak up before the ritual began? What do you think

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The person becomes the scapegoat and will be stoned to death.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" was a short story written by Shirley Johnson in which she pictures a certain fictional town in contemporary America where there is an annual ritual through which bad people are removed from the town through lottery. The person selected through lottery is stoned to death.

It is an annual ritual which they believe guarantees good harvest. It was a tradition they followed blindly and nobody ever questions the rational or the person becomes "The Lottery".
