Topics for blog

Hello everybody!
Here are topics for next blog:

1. Do you watch any serial? If you do, which one? What do you think about the serials in general?

2. What do you think about Internet shops? Do you find them useful? Do you personally use them? Do you think they will replace real ones?

3. Do you think everybody should know their country's history? How deep should this kind of knowledge be, in your opinion? Do you know history well enough?

11. The lottery

Lately in the class we've watched a film after the book we read "The Lottery".
I really liked both the book and the film. However, the film as it often happens made stronger impression on me than a book.
Just as in the book, the first scenes are greatly made in funny free easy way. It really seemed like it would be the normal lottery with some great prize, even despite the fact, that when I've watched a film, I've already knew what will happen in the end. However, I'm sure that It was absolutely impossible to predict any tragic end from the beginning, especially the real one. This unexpectedness strengthen the effect made by the climax and the whole story.
It was really scary when citizens of a small town, who know each other very well, were so cruel to kill their neighbor and friend in such a violent way! It really impresses and make you think about traditions and its purposes. We recognize ourselves in these citizens who do something without knowing what for they are doing that , just because everybody does that. And it does scary us, cause we don't want to blindly follow someone's ideas.
So, all in all, it's really a great film that reveals many vital thought in people's minds.
