1. Watch the two short film adaptations of “The Lottery”. 

In a short paragraph, answer the following: What additions/deletions/changes from the original story were made in these films? How are these films different from each other? Which one is the stronger portrayal of Shirley Jackson’s story? Why do you think so? 

Answer 1

The changes that have been made from the original story of the films include introduction of paper slips in place of wood chips put in the black box.
