Summers and the black box and begin to draw names.
Summers, the town activity organizer sets up a black wooden box that contains the names of all the families in the town.
In the story, it starts off with a clear, bright setting, children are playing in joy and laughter, summer is in the air, and the whole town has gathered to find rocks and stones. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a timeless short story that embodies not only the issues in society today but the universal feeling of uncertainty and the fear of the unknown. And before we ever know it, the daylight we once saw quickly dissipates into dark dark dawn until we are left with nothing but uncertainty. One day our only views are the luminous day, but we are never quite aware of the smoldering fog that approaches us. It’s crazy how we never see some things coming.
