Is The Dream Still Achievable? “American Dream” a term coined by James Truslow Adams in his book “The Epic of America” (404).

‘The Lottery’ tells the story of a tradition that has been upheld by a small town for many years: casting of stones as form of sacrifice. This is to guarantee good harvest throughout the year‚ and has been done through drawing lots.
