DUE TONIGHT PLEASE HELP Who do you think the writer/speaker is in the poem and what situation is she writing about? What can you infer about her past? Use support from the poem to answer.

(answer below)

Explanation:

I believe the writer/speaker in the poem is herself. This is because the poem sounds really deep and personal. I believe the situation she’s writing about is winning a race. According to the text, “this time would be differnt she would feel the rush hear the cheer be at the finish first.” I can infer that her past races were bad (she didn’t win). According to the text, “she would finally feel the heavy weight lifted from her heart and draped around her neck instead”. This quote shows how much pressure was on the reader and how anxious she was about winning the race.

im not sure if you still need the answer, but hope I helped!

600 dollars if i'm not mistaken.

the villagers feel like the lottery is important, but they maybe do not care so much. take note of how the box is battered up and how the tradition is not very celebrated. there probably used to be a lot of celebrations. but the importance is reflected in old man warner's attitude because he cites that the other villages will go crazy if they do not do lotter. therefore, lottery is important but they dont care thjat much about doing it
