Entry 8

The Lottery

            “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a story that has a much unexpected ending. When I first saw the title of the story and just started the reading, I was expecting a scene of a lucky person who wins the lottery and a celebration for the winning. Instead, this is not a story with a happy story and it ends up with the death of the lottery winner. I like how the author describes the stones and uses the stones as a foreshadowing for the following plots. The ending is the part that I don’t like at all since it shows that cruelty of the society which is the idea that I’ll never like to face in our real life. I would not like to recommend this story to a friend because I don’t like it so much.
