When I first read this short story I thought it was pretty interesting and fun. The short story is called \u201cThe Lottery\u201d written by Shirley Jackson. When I thought about the name I was determined that the story would be about someone winning or participating in a lottery. When I finished it I was shocked to see what I found out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This all starts in a little village with kids and parents. There are some of the kids by themselves and putting pebbles in their pockets. When more people sell them. They thought that doing that was the right thing. Then i thought to myself why would they even put pebbles in their pockets? Why? I kept reading and at the end I found out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole reason why it is called \u201cThe Lottery\u201d is because there is a tradition for winning the \u201cLottery\u201d, but winning it didn\u2019t really do anything because she got in some trouble. I never really thought is her dying but that is the whole part of the tradition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you still remember, in the second paragraph when I was talking about how kids were putting pebbles in their pockets? Well this tradition is very weird because they used the rocks she had and started throwing them on Ms.Hutchinson soon after it is still a tradition so many people in that village die which is very scary. O-o<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in this short story \u201cThe Lottery\u201d my thoughts are it was a very interesting story but it had some \u201cDrama\u201d to it. Which I like so there is a little \u201cPlot Twist\u201d. So this essay was based on my thoughts in the short story \u201cThe Lottery\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
