The lottery

The story “lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a perfect example of the tribal nature of a small community because this small town has this lottery that comes around once a year. But this isn’t like any out lottery; this is one you do not want to win. The result of this lottery is stoned to death no matter what. There are many little things that lead up to the stoning. For example when the kids of the town are gathering up rock getting ready to pick one up and throw it. The black box could be a sign of death because the color black is for death. The black dot on the paper could be a sign for death also because its just a black dot which could represent the black the person is going to see once they get hit with the stones. The stoning shows that this small community just goes along with what the past people put into place. Many people during the story brought up that other towns have already quit the lottery and Mr. Adams even called that town “ a bunch of young fools”. Its shows that these older people are just stuck in the past and don’t want move on. Some people from that town has even moved away to get away from the lottery.

Your mother is always right: always right. When you wake up, you will make your bed and your room will be spotless. I understand dad. You will eat breakfast every morning and you will cook it also. After that you will finish stacking the wood. You will treat everyone with respect and will never set a hand on a female. I understand dad. You will never touch any drugs and you are allowed to drink when you are 21.You will be grateful for everything that is given to you and will not be a brat. You will listen to everything I say. Make sure you understand your actions in life are always a reflection of our last name. You got this. I believe in you.
