The Lottery
Explanation:
- Mrs. Hutchinson arrives late and chats briefly along with her friend, Mrs. Delacroix. It's just another day in an idyllic village. Mr. Summers calls each head of the household (always a grown man) forward to a black wooden box, where each selects a mistake of paper. Once the boys have chosen, Mr. Summers permitted everyone to see the paper. The lucky person selected: Bill Hutchinson.
- His wife immediately starts protesting—so we get the sense, somehow, that they are not close to win a pair million dollars. What reasonably lottery is that this, exactly?
- There are five people total within the Hutchinson family. Mr. Summers places five slips of paper into the box and every member of the family draws. Tess (Mrs. Hutchinson) draws an error of paper with an enormous black dot within the center. Tess protests vainly because the villagers attack her.
