The lottery is a story about a town that has a weird religion. Each year your name gets raffled up in a box and the name chosen’s family gets put into the box and one of them will end up getting stoned to death. The main character of the story is Tessie. Her husband got chose and it was up to luck to keep her alive. But unfortunately her name was chosen, but before they killed her she complained about how it wasn’t fair. I believe the theme of this story is to stand up to others before it is too late. In the story everyone doesn’t feel so bad doing it but once you are chosen, it will already be too late.
