Written in 1948, Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” is a chilling short story about a small town which has a tradition of randomly selecting someone in the town to be stoned to death. Jackson uses simple objects—a box, some stones, some slips of paper— that serve as symbols to highlight her view of these traditions in the society.
Choose one these objects, as well as the setting and characterization, and write a three-page essay analyzing and explaining
