How can we analyze and identify the reaction of Tessie's family when she was chosen? How about her friends and neighbors? Were there hints of this treatment in the author's word choices before the conclusion? Explain.

Answer and Explanation:

1. We can interpret their reaction by realizing that Tessie was drawn by the description of their facial expression and the behavior that they assume shortly thereafter. Tessie's family is surprised and somewhat fearful of everything that is happening.

2. Friends and neighbors, however, are willing to continue the lottery process, as they agree to take stones and shoot them without hesitation.

3. The author shows this through adjectives, which describe the position of the other characters, showing an expository and very expressive language.
