Paper Outline

So I decided to switch my paper topic to number one which involves comparing and contrasting the two traditions from "In the Penal Colony" and "The Lottery".

Introduction:
First I want to inroduce the two stories and create a thesis pertaining to traditions in not just the stories but also in all societies around the world. I want to relate them vaguely to the differences in language and imagery in each story and discuss them further in detail with textual examples from the stories.

Body:
I want to have two or three paragraphs in my body. One would pertain to the comparison of the two tradition discussed and how they seem outrageous to us, as a civilized society, but if you had never known any different, would you have other feelings on the matter. I might even relate it to some tradition of our society or other societies that we think as normal, but are in fact a little strange to others. My second paragraph would be a contrasting one in which I would contrast the differences in the two traditions discussed. I would contrast them against the imagery each one portrays and the language the author used to write the story with.

Conclusion:
I would sum my body up and restate my thesis while providing a sound ending to my paper.
