While reading William Faulkner's, "A Rose For Emily", and Emily Jackson's, "The Lottery", you notice indistinguishable patterns between the two stories. Faulkner and Jackson both write their stories -withholding vital information- that ultimately lead up to an atrocious and puzzling conclusion. Their stories have the same objective, which is to create a mysterious, tense setting and then surprise you with a shocking and thrilling ending.
