“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is a short story expressed through the theme of apathy, when the community feels no emotion for anyone, that a ritual is more important than a human being, mob mentality, and hypocrisy which is prevalent within the townspeople. It may help learning more about Shirley Jackson to better understand why she wrote such a horrific story like, “The Lottery.” Shirley Jackson moved into a small town, Bennington, Vermont, where she wasn’t accepted within her town which shows she was thinking how cruel people can be. Not being accepted is not the same as being stoned or killed, but it has the capacity for cruelty. Through this, Shirley Jackson is suggesting that we need to examine ourselves and our actions carefully and live our lives consciously instead of

The short story “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson did a great job depicting the society as she did. Peter Kosenko is one critic that really got my attention because some of the many different ways he saw this story was different then mine. He really goes into depth with his article. He says “no mere”irrational” tradition, the lottery is an ideological mechanism”. I would've never thought of this that way and that's only just one of his many thoughts.
On June 27th, 1948, started with the root of all evil, money… but not only, in the story, “The Lottery” shows two sides of humanity and the overall concept of the characters Mr. Summers and Mrs. Hutchinson. People may think that the lottery is about winning money, but instead it was about getting stoned to death by your so called friends and family. Surprise! The lottery isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
State Lottery A state lottery is a controversial topic. People wonder if it’s a productive game or a life-ruining idea. The lottery is a good idea because it helps adults, and supports children/young adults with their education. Some people repudiate the lottery because the money it makes isn’t directly added to school’s funds.

The reason that the lottery doesn't benefit any of us is because in Source F it states “the lottery contributed $691.2 million to elementary and secondary schools. But that sum was only about 8.4 percent of $7.9 billion public education budget.” which sums up the point about it not helping schools at ALL.
Many people would die to win the lottery; in the short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson you would do anything NOT to win this lottery. This annual lottery reveals the negative aspects of this town’s Tradition, Savagery, Barbarism, and cold-heartedness. In this paper I will show why this town blindly follows these customs, not because it’s a tradition but because of the accepting wickedness that can be shown. Why does the town follow this foolish tradition? Throughout “The Lottery” the narrator tells that the people do not remember how the lottery began, and that some of the older people believe the lottery has changed over the years, that now people just want to get it over with as fast as possible.
