Ray Bradbury and Shirley Jackson want us to acknowledge the impact our bad fallouts and actions have on others. The main characters are mistreated to benefit everyone besides them. In “The Lottery” Tessa supported the lottery because she believed it had benefits toward herself and the ones she loved. She believed it was the right thing until she was the person chosen to be sacrificed and in “All Summer in a Day” Margot's foolish classmates lock her in a closet while the sun comes out because they didn't realize it would affect her horribly not being able to see the sun, they only realize their wrongs after they enjoy playing out in the sun.
