"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson

This story is very different to the lottery million look forward every Wednesday/Saturday. In real life lottery is a matter of good luck and fortune; quite different to the story. I think the story goes beyond what we see. For instance, it may be saying that’s what may really happen when someone wins the lottery, well not literally, but it might be saying that envy turn friends into enemies. I think that the author rely on the fact that combat duty is considered a lottery. This story really surprise me because I a was hoping for a happy ending. I notice through the story everyone seemed to be looking forward the big moment. Neither could I believe that her own kid throw stones at her.
