New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

17.2. "The Lottery Ticket," Anton Chekhov W3.

Tonight's short story, "The Lottery Ticket," is by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov, who is regarded as one of the best short story writers who ever lived.

1. Question: What do you think that Chekhov is trying to say about life in this story? Remember that the "big idea about life" is the theme and has to be universally applicable - it can't be about marriages or lotteries, it has to be about desires and relationships.
