A compare and contrast fiction essay on two short stories, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and “The Rocking Horse Winner” By D.H. Lawrence. The Lottery is a short story of a yearly ritual in which a small town casually draws one person’s name that will sacrifice their life by being stoned to death to ensure bountiful harvest. The Rocking Horse Winner is a fictional story about a woman who is obsessed with money, she shows no love or attention to her family, she thinks her husband is unlucky and her son Paul only wants to be loved by his mother, he hopes to change his mother’s mind in order to gain her love by becoming lucky.
He begins his article by talking about the small chance people have in winning the lottery. Most of the article describes Piore’s interactions with Hargrove, the Lottery legend. He explains that Hargrove “built the state lotteries in Georgia and Florida from scratch” (Piore 700). He also talks about the legend’s expertise in the business of lottery and her “intuitive understanding of what drives her customers to play the game” (Piore 700). The author’s interaction with Hargrove gave him more insight and understanding of the tricks and logical manipulation of human brain in believing what is not factual.
The quote in the first photo represents Tom and his wealth. I chose to do the photo of how Tom wants to be seen by others as wealthy. In the book Nick talks about how money impacts both the west and east egg in the story. You can tell that Tom wants to be seen as a wealthy person when he goes to Gatsby’s party and is embarrassed when all the celebrities there don’t know who he is, because he thought that he was viewed as very wealthy and well known in the community by people. The photo portrays this as you can see him basking in a pool of money with a big smile on his face and people looking at him in aw. When Tom showed up at Gatsby’s party and realized that he wasn’t viewed the way he thought he was very angered.
Usually there’s a winner in a lottery, but not in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”. This story intrigued me by it's suspenseful nature and it's chaotic events. In small town America, they come together once a year to perform an annual tradition. Mrs. Jackson demonstrates literary devices such as foreshadowing, mood, and conflict in “The Lottery”. Foreshadowing is used quite a few times in “The Lottery”.
Outdated and Modernized In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, the author combines outdated rituals with modern society that question moral grounds. Jackson’s intention was to inform readers about a society of people and how their culture and beliefs effected their decisions in life. In this short story we discover many uses of foreshadowing and irony, to explain and understand the villages’ traditions. We will uncover the many uses of irony and why Jackson intentionally deceives her readers of “The Lottery”.
To counteract this false information, there should be a restriction on gambling advertisements for gaming institutions in order to sustain the addiction. These false advertisements plant a sense of false hope and information in the mind of the potential gambler. It makes them think that they are able to garner all the success that is advertised, but in reality that sense of false hope carries a detrimental risk of financial feasibility. These misleading advertisement ensued by many gaming institutions counteracts the message of the government regarding the treatments and resources available for help. These false advertisements downplay the significance of a gambling addiction and make it seem that no such thing exists as it is all in good fun.
Gambling, for all its importance to the story, is very rarely mentioned within The Great Gatsby. It is regarded as a shady subject for equally shady men, a crime committed on a level just secret enough to avoid reference within polite society. The delicacy with which gambling is treated throughout the novel closely mirrors the handling of the character of one Jay Gatsby; no one knows much about either subject, and both are presumably dangerous. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses gambling implicitly throughout The Great Gatsby as a subtle means of developing Gatsby’s identity and the corruption of the times, communicating to the reader that not everything is as it seems; all that glitters in Nick Carraway’s shining New York is not gold.
These two stories fear in very different ways, so it is fitting that they also use different methods to question morality. “Young Goodman Brown” conclusion, of the story, begins when he finds himself alone in the forest. As if he has just awakened from a dream what he experienced in the forest whether they were dreams or reality changes his life. He is now suspicious of everyone, just as the Puritans of real-life salem were when they participated in a witch hunt that was the result of the execution. And in “The Lottery” Shirley Jackson conclusion, is the use of symbolism, “the lottery” is evident, the Shirley Jackson indirectly implicates the truth of “the lottery” through names, objects, and setting.
The lottery has been taking places in many villages as an annual ritual without thinking about the irrational of it. The Old Man Warner, the stones, and the lottery has given the unusual prominence in the story. Mr. Warner name informed me to be careful of something in the story. He is faithful to the behavior of tradition which illogical ritual that passes from generation to generation.
Throughout centuries, traditions and rituals have had the ability to control one’s behavior. In Shirley Jackson’s, “The Lottery”, she tells the reader of a small village. On the surface, this community may seem relatively normal. However, despite the picturesque appeal, this falsely serene village has a distinct deceitful flaw. On June 27th, every year, a lottery takes place.
While real life traditions are rarely so extreme, Jackson’s exaggerated fictional example emphasizes her point to great effect. By the end of the story, the audience is convinced that the town is wrong to uphold the lottery tradition, but Jackson is not really writing about a lottery; she is writing about how damaging it can
“The Lottery”, by Shirley Jackson is atypical of any other story from its time. Jackson utilizes a shift in tone that is emphasized through the event’s location, attendees, and rituals found within her work to take readers on a wild ride. What begins as an average day on June 27, unfolds into a situation that never could have been expected. Jackson’s use of tone in “The Lottery” functions as a way to distract readers from the overall mood of the gathering. The pleasant and easy-going tone, presented throughout the beginning of Jacksons’s work aims to deter readers from questioning the villager’s initial motives.
Shirley Jackson’s “The lottery” is a story based on tradition. When hearing the word tradition, most people think of team rituals before games, or something families do together annually. However, Jackson is obviously not like most people. She builds up a fair amount of tension around this ritual that is taking place to make readers wonder what is going on. She uses many different techniques to show that sometimes, traditions are not always meant to go on forever.
