The lottery

The Lottery
How many people play and win the lottery every day? In the short story the lottery by Shirley Jackson, Tessie Hutchinson picked the winning lottery ticket. Although this is a bad lottery, all 300 people in the village must enter and the winner gets stoned to death. You wouldn’t want to win this lottery.
This book was the worst book I have ever read just because there is no plotline in this book it’s just random people saying random things. There are some characteristics to this book like Tessie Hutchison is a mother that was very upset when she won the lottery she won the lottery and earned the beating of the lifetime. I would never tell anybody to read this story to anybody ever. I don’t care if they would like it or not. It’s about public stoning.
There is lots of symbolism in this storey like the whole lottery revolved around the broken down black box, which symbolizes bad things. The children were just released from school for the summer and where told to gather rocks for the lottery. Next the black box was never remade because of the history of the box. The older generation felt the younger generation was young fools for not carrying on the traditions of the Lottery. The last symbolism I caught was there are lots of people of all ages old people to young kids that means this village is been around for a long time.
The feeling as a person reads this book is sad, dark and overall bad. It is negative and the reader can’t believe a town could exit with this hardcore massacre taking place. Public stoning is a horrible think and think twice before you enter in a public lottery you life can depend on it. Lotteries are not always a good thing.
