The Lottery

It definitely takes me a trial and error process to catch onto the structure and rules of games, tasks, and activities. As we played the lottery game I went into it very clueless of how to manipulate my role and what strategies to use. I just followed until I left the room that I really got a hold of what was happening.

When a rebel rescued me in the night I thought I was being killed. When I got out I realized she wasn't an eye, she was actually a rebel, and I should be thankful to her for rescuing me, a handmaid. Once I realized that I was on the outside looking in I understood more and was more interested in what was going on inside.

When I was actually inside we made an executive decision to eliminate Madrie. We didn't know what she was, but it ended up being a good choice since she was an eye, killing others at night. There was no real reason why we did that, but it was towards the beginning of the game and not much had gone on. We were all uncertain of what was going on, so the confusion made us unite and do something  I wonder if we would have done the same thing if it was a real life situation  How far can uncertainty and fear take you? As more and more people were being killed and rescued we cheered for the rebels  that still remained. They finally killed the only eye left and the rebels won! Even with the victory there were some brave rebels and innocent handmaids that were killed before we had beat the eyes.

I got out without a scratch, but I didn't take the risk of becoming a rebel because of my lack of knowledge of what was going on If I was more certain I wish I could say I'd be brave enough to join the rebels, but I think I would have still taken the safe way out end let myself be rescued.
