I think everything about this story is normal when the kids were playing and the people talking about the event. But, when the event goes on I realize that something might go wrong when the Hutchinson’s family realizes that they won’t get money and they get something else and when the children start to pile up rocks for no reason. So, I start to wonder what they get instead of money. Then, each family member got a piece of paper and one piece of paper had a black dot on it. When they all opened their paper every family member had a blank paper excepted Tess. Tess had a black dot on her paper. Then the people attacked her by throwing rocks at Tess. I think that was a violent ending. I think Shirley Jackson (the author) used a lot of irony in this story. I didn’t notice a moral in this story.
