After Watching The Lottery, consider the needs and goals of the families looking to enroll their children in the two schools. One father in particular, whose wife and first son live in Africa, have only come to America in hopes that their youngest son can attend a great school and get an education. This father talks about the incredible opportunities America can offer his son, and even states, “The American Dream is so wonderful.[2]” Yet the film presents this dream like a scam, as if the American Dream is a lottery just as is the chance of getting into a great school. Discuss the idea presented in the film and whether or not, based on what you have read and watched, American schools fulfill this dream.
