Before I start to write this paper, I have to say that I literally like this passage “The Lottery”, because it reflects many of the problems that exist in today’s society. The passage “ Lottery ” has several visible subjects and symbols as well as some that are not easy to find them. I personally found that one of the main subjects to this article is tradition. Later on I figured out that the tone is a very significant element in the article. Shirley Jackson uses the tone in "The Lottery" is not entirely same with the subjects mentioned above. I compared with the previous articles that we have read which was “The One Who walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula Le Guin, he uses a satirical tone to describe utopianism; nevertheless, let’s return to this article, Shirley Jackson uses a very light tone, but at the end of the passage, I can see that there’s a dark ending in the story.

A tradition can be as simple as cooking a recipe to how you raise your children and holiday traditions. Culture plays a significant role in how people live their day to day lives. In Shirley Jacksons “The Lottery” the people that lived in the town follow a tradition every year. It's easy to understand why Shirley Jackson’s Lottery caused controversy when it was published shortly after World War II in 1948. The Lottery has been dramatized, televised and turned into a ballet.

Being stoned to death by 300 of your friends and family is possibly the worst way anyone would ever want to be killed. In the short story “The Lottery” written by an author Shirley Jackson, she mentions about a small village consisting of 300 residents who most reluctantly participate in an annual lottery drawing. I know, who in their right mind would hesitate to be a part of an event that gives you a possibility of winning a prize, which makes you wonder what the prize is. At the end of the story the protagonist, Mrs. Hutchinson, who also happens to be the winner of the lottery is stoned to death. I argue that Jackson wrote this story to inform us how living in a small community isn’t always a great thing because in a small population people start gossiping about one another, which can lead to issues and could turn into hatred.

The short story, “The Lottery by Shirley Jackson”, shows how scapegoatism forms violence and cruelty behind the story's structural character Old Man Warner. Warners meaning towards the stoning was that one had to have a connection with fertility in order to have successful crop growth. Warners behavior towards the ritual tradition has changed many things from wooded chips to slips of paper to the black box symbolizing death, and continuing to use stones in their ritual.

The narration and point of view in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” are essential components of what has made the story controversial and cause it to stay relevant since its release in 1948. The passage where the Hutchinson family is drawing papers to see which member will be stoned, on pages 234 and 235, exemplifies the power of this kind of narration perfectly. In this section, almost all of the aspects of narration and point of view are demonstrated, including the grammatical person of the narrator and their characteristics: whether they are part of the story world, their reliability, level of knowledge, and the ethical issues that arise from how the story is told.

Senora Ines Senora Ines , the antagonist of the story represents the social stratification prejudice prevailing in the society. She constantly reminds us of the real world, where the thin line between lower class and upper class never disappears. Liliana Hecker has portrayed Senora as a wealthy, manipulative and devious lady through the use of flattery and carefully chosen adjectives. The joyous mood of the story and the contrast with Senora’s inner character brings irony to the story, making her characterization both important and effective.

Dystopian stories works depict a negative view of "the way the world is supposedly going in order to provide urgent propaganda for a change in direction”.
