This story is about a fictional ritual where in a town, they \u201csacrificed\u201d one person for the ritual. The lottery was when the people from the town each chooses a piece of paper from a box, and the person that chooses the piece of paper with the black dot is sacrificed and essentially stoned to death. This was done so they \u201ccould have good fortune and crops\u201d. The main people in this story is Bill, and Tessie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they were choosing the box, Tessie was complaining because she claimed Mr. Summer, the guy doing the hosting the lottery didn\u2019t give Bill enough time to choose the paper. (Note that Bill was choosing a paper for Tessie) Once everybody started to open up the paper, many people got blank so they were fine. However when it got to Tessie, Tessie\u2019s paper wasn\u2019t blank. It had a black dot. Then they started to stone her, and Tessie\u2019s last words were \u201cIT WASN\u2019T FAIR!!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
