Something interesting or that I was surprised I did this summer was actually playing a lot of basketball, during the start of quarantine COVID got to a bad point and it was a very rapid rate in New York. I wasn’t expecting to be able to go exercise as much as I did this summer which kept me in shape and good health. Also now the gyms are back open which is even better.

My favorite story out of the three was definitely The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, I actually read the story before about 2 years ago for another English class I took and I thought the short story was one of the most interesting ones I have ever read. The story is very ironic and has a huge plot twist that makes it such a interesting short story that you can analyze. When reading The Lottery in the beginning you would think everything is going to be okay in the story starting off with how nice the flowers are and how nice of a day this June 27th is but as the story goes on the plot twist has the readers surprised and confused.
