The Lottery 

The sheer hubris in doing shit like this and then making movies about it is ASTOUNDING!
Hym "Well would you look at that! 'The Lottery!' Another account of what you people collectively do to individuals. Reward Noah for winning the fat-cock lottery and then punish me for drawing the short straw. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO! It isn't me. It isn't my psychology. I figured out what you were up to and this is what you do in response to getting caught. I guess it's time for the drone strikes. Light them up. There is no redeeming this place. You all need to go quietly or loudly back into the darkness from wence you came. It's not a surprise your God came here and killed itself."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
