Choose a major portion of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, rewrite a portion of it and make it more positive. You must write 5 full sentences in your response

Answer 1

Original passage:

"The black box grew shabbier each year; by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained."

Rewritten with a positive spin:

"The cherished box showed signs of annual use as the community continued to come together for this beloved tradition. Its well-worn appearance held memories of past gatherings and symbolized the strong bonds of the village. While the edges may have softened and the color faded, it only served as a reminder of the enduring history and unity of the townspeople. Despite its aging appearance, the box remained a symbol of community spirit and solidarity in the town."
