    Sacrifice In The Lottery

    It happen at some point during our civilization when human sacrifice became an arrogation, executed for a religious purpose, a cult, or as a ritual to please their gods in which they believe in. In the story, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson she introduces us to a luck-of-the-draw conformity among the villagers in the story. Jackson’s reveals that humans commit barbaric genocides by the peer pressure and be subsequent to tradition. The lottery is held in June during the beautiful summer in order to please the gods to allow bountiful harvest; therefore, one pure innocent human life was offered. Similarly, like the Aztecs from Mexico, who also perform sacrifice rituals. In the video Ancient Mysteries, Human Sacrifice the Aztecs had their own ancient…

    The Lottery

    The symbol that is the strongest in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is the black box. This box represents the town’s tradition to the lottery even though they try to make it seem like it doesn’t really make sense to keep the tradition. This black box is not even the original black box that was used before, but rather made of pieces of the original box that had aged before it. The story says that “The black box grew shabbier each year: by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained.”. However the town was unwilling to change the box due to some strange devotion to the tradition of the lottery even though they realize it’s not even the original box they still say things like “but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box” and “Mr. Summers began talking again about a new box, but every year the subject was allowed to fade off without anything's being done.”. This black box was used by everyone in the town even the oldest man Mr. Warner which is another reason why they are so attached to it. The black box shows how much tradition means to this town because they are unwilling to even change the box even though they say some towns have even got rid of the lottery all together. Even though some things such as using paper instead of wood chips have changed they still maintain some kind of loyalty to the black box. The black box shows the ignorance of the town who are unwilling to give up old ways even though some have given up old traditions completely.…

    The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost! Let me reiterate that for you! The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost! How many innocent people have been killed in one God’s name or another? The three legged stool sits behind; both a praise and a nemesis. The intention of this paper is to explain the difference between the two, and decide if the author was using symbolism to relate this paper to the trials of women throughout the centuries, or just ritual amongst all human societies.…

    The Lottery

    In “The Lottery” the characteristics describe it as a comedy. Even though the ending is tragic, the story contains no hero, and does not really teach a lesson. Rather it shows a culture of a village and it’s villagers. That leaning in culture shows more realistic, and more common language. Such as when Joe Summers enters the scene he says “Little late today, folks.” And when he needs help with carrying the black box he asks the Martins “Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?” This shows that the way he communicates resonates within a common folk, and every other character can relate to his type of communication. He is not speaking words that don’t make sense.…

    No matter who the people in the culture are or the era in which they live in, there has always been abusive customs that are accepted. To challenge these fired up mindsets would be going against the grain. A prime example of this is in the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. In this story, an illustration draws out the brutal and villinious…

    The Lottery

    Shirley Jackson’s, The Lottery, has raised questions in the back of every reader’s mind towards the destructive yet blind rituals of mankind. A reflection of ourselves is what we see when looking through the pond of Jackson’s mind. The Lottery clearly expressed Jackson’s feelings concerning traditional rituals through her story, opened the eyes of its readers to properly classify and question some of today’s traditions as cruel, and allowed room to foretell the outcome of these unusual traditions. Jackson’s feelings towards the misuse of tradition as an excuse to cause harm have triggered her creativity for the creation of The Lottery. Jackson obviously saw examples of this misuse of tradition and ingeniously placed it into an exaggerated situation to let us see how barbaric our actions are. The townspeople, in the story, all come together for the annual lottery; however, in an interesting twist, those participating stone the winner to death. Everyone in the story seems horribly uncivilized yet they can easily be compared to today’s society. Perhaps Jackson was suggesting the coldness and lack of compassion the human race can exhibit in situations regarding tradition and values. The People who were stoned to death represented values and good being as the townspeople, who represented society, cold-heartedly destroyed them ( Jackson 79 ). Immediately after reading The Lottery, one can compare the ritual, in the story, to some of today’s barbaric traditions in a new point of view. Hazing is a tradition that has been around forever. Some people do not see anything wrong with giving a new person a hard time; however, this ritual has caused numerous deaths and countless injuries all over the world. Hazing is a ritual performed in high schools, gangs, colleges, and even your own best friend can be in on it. Perhaps just as barbaric as the stoning, no good at all results from hazing. The running of the bulls, in Italy, may…

    The Lottery

    Although Shirley Jackson wrote many books, children's stories and humorous pieces, she is most remembered for her story "The Lottery." In "The Lottery" Jackson portrays the average citizens of an average village taking part in an annual sacrifice of one of their own residents. When the story was published in the New Yorker magazine in 1948, reader response was tremendous. People were horrified by the story and wrote to express their disgust that a tale containing a pointless, arbitrary, violent sacrifice had been allowed to be published. Some also called to see where the town was so that they could go and watch the lottery. It is this last behavior, the need to feel a part of the gruesomeness that exists in American society, that Jackson so skillfully depicts in "The Lottery."…

    The Lottery

    “The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow”-Jim Hightower. Have you ever been in a situation to where you know a person or a group is doing something wrong, but you choose not to do anything about it? Have you ever done something wrong for so long that it suddenly became a lifestyle for you? Jackson’s story, “The Lottery”, when it comes to being in the wrong or not speaking up, reminds me of many situations that I have been in or situations that I have witnessed. Jackson tries to create multiple thoughts that could go through the readers’ mind. You could think, maybe this event has been around for so long, that it seems normal to the community. You could also think that everyone knows it’s wrong, but is afraid to speak up. In the beginning of the paragraph, I put in a quote about conformity. The quote is saying conformity is a result of a cowardly act. Going with the flow of society when you know it’s wrong is just as bad as not existing in society. “The Lottery” to me is a selfish act by the society.…
