the lottey

1.) A lottery you think it would be the luck of the draw for like money or a prize but in this story it is something different. It is when the whole town gets together and they pick paper out of a box and one of the pieces of paper has a black dot. Whoever gets the dot has to sit in the center and everybody throws stones at her. The title leads you to think that somebody wins a lottery and that usually means you win money or something special.

8.)Yes you can support a claim that this story is presented from the objective point of view because everybody in the story really does not want to be at the lottery. It also mentions that some places had already quite lotteries and some people thought that it was nothing but trouble. Old Man Warner stated that people are not the way they use to be. The matter of fact tone of the story is effective because it makes the story right to the point. It also makes you think that this has been happening for many years and that everybody in the town has grown up this way.
