thanks ms. sue for reading story yesterday, i need help writing essay that be on

Wat expense be paid by beings & by society 4 their unhesitating approval of tradition or brutal social rituals. Do there be rituals that have outlasted their initial usefulness or be retained 4 the wrong motives?

for first part i need to mention about story. i not able to come up with hook. The hook has to be in the first paragraph. it has to be on the topic i writing about.

I suggest you wait until you've written your essay before you worry about a hook.

In addition to the rituals we've talked about, I think another harmful ritual is war and violence. How common it is to hear the advice, "Fight for what you believe!" Millions have people have died because others wanted to sacrifice them to prove a point in a war. Yet, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela all won without using violence.

thanks very much ms. sue

i need some example from story lottery that go with theme, one be in the end where tessie get stoned to death, and death be the price paid for continuing on such tradition, i not able to find other examples.

What about the hypocrisy of the happy people who appear to have gathered for a joyous occasion. But they've actually gathered to kill one of their friends.

What kind of people seem to enjoy killing one of their friends?

so it be really traumatizing for the community too, cause little kids join in to throw stones, and this show a bad future to come, and also they doing nothing good for community by killing people, if this ritual continue then it might be chaos in future?

I don't think there will be chaos -- but this custom will continue in the same way until someone realizes how damaging it is to the community.

do there be any other example from story i use for this essay?

Aren't all of the leaders of this lottery men? Do you find any examples of women being involved -- other than just attending and being victims?

no so that mean that if this ritual continue the men be ahead of the women?

I could interpret it to mean that if women had some leadership roles in the community, the lottery might be stopped. Does denying women leadership roles undermine a society?

To come up with a hook for your essay on the expenses paid by individuals and society due to their unhesitating approval of tradition or brutal social rituals, you can start by analyzing the story you mentioned Ms. Sue reading to you. Consider the following steps to create an effective hook:

1. Summarize the story: Begin by giving a brief overview of the story Ms. Sue read to you, highlighting any elements of tradition or social rituals that are relevant to your essay topic. Focus on the central theme or conflict that relates to the expenses individuals or society have to bear.

2. Identify a compelling aspect: Look for an intriguing point in the story that can capture the reader's attention. This could be a memorable event, a controversial decision made by the characters, or any moment that highlights the consequences of blindly following traditions or brutal rituals.

3. Craft the hook: Once you have identified a compelling aspect, create a sentence or two that emphasizes the significance of the chosen event or theme. The hook should be concise, thought-provoking, and directly linked to the expenses incurred by individuals or society due to their unhesitating approval of tradition or social rituals.

Remember, the purpose of the hook is to grab the reader's attention and make them want to continue reading your essay. It should be relevant, engaging, and set the tone for the rest of your paper.
