I had to read the lady and the Tiger by Frank R. Stockton and the Lottery by Shirley Jackson in my Creative Writing class. We where support to compare think compare fairness to both of the stories, and talk about what we thought was fair or not, I had thought that The lady and the Tiger was fair however I didn’t think that The Lottery was and the next two paragraph’s I state my reasons why I think so…

            When I had read Lady and the Tiger  I really didn’t think about fairness. Like I guess it was kind of fair that he had to pick which door that the lady was In because he had been with the king’s daughter without him knowing and He could have done it the right way by asking the King’s daughter even though The king probably wouldn’t of let him anyway, but still it might of happened if he would of jus asked. So I thought that it was fair enough that if he was going to mess around with the king’s daughter then he should have had to pick which door she was in.

            In the Lottery I didn’t think it was fait that people where getting stoned to death. Why would you kill someone with stones to make a crop grow? You should very well know that something that stupid would not work! That’s murder and god doesn’t go for murder right? Well there yea go. Plus even though everyone had to pick from the lottery that still wasn’t fair that whenever one person picks the paper with the dot on it your family has to go again and see who picks the piece of paper what family would bear to see there loved one getting stoned to death? That’s why I didn’t think it was right.

            This paragraph that’s about the conclusion I started out when an opening. Then I talked about the Lady and the Tiger and The Lottery, and which one’s I had thought was fair. I thought that the Land and The Tiger were fair but then the Lottery wasn’t.
