The Color Black and Symbolism in “The Lottery” People are influenced by a variety of different sources – their parents‚ their friends‚ and their communities.

These are my favorite colors and make my room that much better. A 32-inch TV that is black and that I use a lot. My bed usually not made and messy is blue and grey and you just want to jump into it.
