Zevion Flowers Why Death?

I read the lottery and the lottery did not seem like the usual lottery. In the story I found a good theme. That theme is luck. Luck is plays a major part. Everyone gets a card and if their lucky enough they will survive. But if someone gets a black dot they get stoned to death.

                                                      

The theme luck pretty much I summed up the whole book. Everyone had wished so badly that they hadn’t got the black dot. In the book I had noted that one of the victims friends of family got the biggest stone to throw. I think it was because they wanted to get the pain over with or didn’t want the victim to feel all those rock be thrown at her.

Zevion Flowers The Three Virus Trio 4/27/2012

Author’s Note: I am writing this essay to explain the different viruses there are and what they can do etc.

Have you ever wondered what kinds of viruses there could be? Or the things viruses can do to you? There are many kinds of viruses all over the place where you could catch a virus. And thus I’m not just talking about the common cold. I am going to show three examples of viruses that you should know about.

First is the Ebola virus.  The Ebola virus was known to come from the Democratic Republic Congo. This virus is not helpful for humans. The Ebola virus is fatal to humans and primates. (Emiliani)

Next is polio. Polio is a virus that has a cure, or vaccine. But this virus can affect the nervous system. It can also affect people of any age. This virus is not helpful in any way, and it is very fatal. (Baumgartner)

Last is the hanta fever. The hanta fever can be found from deer mice. They are located in the western United States. Deer mice can cause people to get the virus from their droppings, urine, or saliva. (Emiliani)

The examples I showed you are examples of very dangerous viruses. Some viruses can’t be cured. These examples should remind you to be careful of your surroundings.       

It is very fatal.
