The Lottery

The Lottery is a short story  written by Shirley Jackson in 1948. So the story tells us about a Lottery which happened in a small village,many people participate in the lottery. So, on every 27th June, they have lotteries in the village. Mr. Summer  is the one who keep the lottery tickets in a black box. After, they conducted the lottery and a man named Bill got the lottery with the black dot. So, one person from his family member has to die. Then, the chosen one turned out to be his wife, named Tessie. So she was stoned to her death.

I think that this story is very good because the writer makes the situation unique. At first the situation was calm, but when it reaches the climax it becomes very tense. The writer also writes the story in very much detail and makes a good storyline to get us curious of the end of the story.
