“The Lottery” Writing Assignment

At the end of “The Lottery,” Tessie Hutchinson has died, murdered by her neighbors and family. What happens afterward?

Write a story of approximately 500 words in which you tell the story of the aftermath of “The Lottery.” The original story is written in the third person limited omniscient point of view. You may write in the same way or from another point of view—first person or third person omniscient.

The story must contain at least a few lines of dialogue.

You may use characters from the original story, but everything else about the story should come from you. You might even tell the story from the point of view of a character you invent.

Have fun with this. I want to see your creativity and your writing ability.
