Civilization is associated with a change of times and has thus led to the change in the traditions.

In the story, the library, many of the characters did not speak as much, however, their actions showed what was approaching. The villagers follow a tradition that happens every year which ends up being a tragedy. Unfortunately, each of the main characters in the story showed a representation on how they naturally behave when the lottery approaches. As long as they have been living in the village they are all accustomed to the tradition, however, they do not realize the evil they are causing towards

Japes had been to a number of social gatherings with his peers as he neared his one-year anniversary. Mary, the lobby bartender, had tried seducing him at the bosses’ house. She was older, in her late twenties, and had been around the block a few times. A blonde haired middle-aged party girl that reminded him that one can do wonders with some makeup and lipstick. Most of the night at the party was spent with her sitting on his lap as if they had known each other for years. Letting this server

In his youth Japes was affectionately referred to as J P. For some unknown reason he was the only one in a brood of five that was blessed with a nickname; it had no real consequences and sometimes it was just easier to yell out these two consonants rather than use his full name. Most likely this was the reason as his parents constantly attempted to keep him “out of trouble”. Visiting the family every summer at Conifer became an annual ritual for his cousins. This is where their mother spent her

stranger. And so this was part of the new world Japes had landed in. Hanging with these girls most definitely put a chill down his spine, and in fact the servers who befriended him the most turned out to be the black servers. He knew what it felt like to be discriminated against, as his unusually narrow build and sunken chest became the object of ridicule throughout his youth. Well-honed psychological lines of defense had been fully developed by this point in his life, and certainly his new friends

Japes reflected on his childhood as he took a one-week trip across the country to his newest adventure. Visiting areas of interest while he made his way across the country brought a smile to his face. Away from home for one year flew by like a lightning bolt, yet so much had already happened. He grew up on a two hundred acre spread in an enormous old farmhouse. The main house included a library, eight bedrooms, two dining rooms, two living areas, a pantry, and an eat-in kitchen. A great place to

quiet weekend, Japes’ was working the desk by himself. The switchboard operator that night was Millie. Millie was a Muddleheaded server with a brain to match. She would never pay attention and spent most of her time painting her nails. Japes had informed Olive Oil that Millie was a problem, but nothing had changed. It seemed rather quiet that

job two college students could possibly have. The two clowns couldn 't even do that. This was the quickest and easiest decision Japes ever made. He fired both of them. He closed the club. He hired a manager with the responsibility of finding some local memberships. The pool was designed for light water aerobics in particular for the senior citizen to get some exercise. Japes instruction was to never leave the club unattended. We would rather have upset guests than dead ones. He couldn 't quite think

was not a manager. Japes had spent years in kitchens and worked with executive chefs as well as line cooks. Mellow was undoubtedly a good line cook. For all of Shorty's humor and energy he made poor choices by promoting servers that did not possess the skills necessary to qualify for the jobs. Shorty, was constantly managing day-to-day situations that would have been handled by true managers. He kept the ship afloat because of his energy level not because of his skill level. Japes’ was amazed that

hours, All-in, simply claimed, it was the best send off he could have hoped for. During the past two years All-in and Japes did plenty of carousing at various events around Cod City and even a few road trips. All-in had many friends in the area and introduced Japes to them at parties, fairs, sporting events, and on the golf course. All-in loved to gamble so on one crazy “road trip” Japes, All-in, and a few of his cronies went to an NBA game in the Empire City. After a few beers the group left the arena
