The story "The Lottery" is about an old village/town that did this tradition where they would draw for a lottery. This lottery is one lottery you don't want to win because instead of winning cash, you get stoned to death! Unlucky Tessie Hutchinson was the one who got picked and the one who got stoned to death.
This picture symbolizes the people of that town. It is like they follow a stupid book of rules. The old man has been around long for the lottery and have never been picked but him and the rest of the people never made a choice to stop the lottery. The lottery is pointless if your going to kill someone, especially by stoning them. The lottery is killing innocent people for no reason, kids lose there parents, men loses there wives, and people lose their loved ones. In this town, no body knows why they do the lottery, but they still do it anyways. Everybody fears that they will get picked and yet they still continue with it every year. The people of that town do not need the lottery. When the lottery is there, people lose loved ones. If the lottery wasn't there then families would be together and there would be peace in the town. That town can live without the lottery, if only one person just stands up for themselves and vote to stop it. The people follow it as a law. They can't see the dangers of doing this and probably to scared to say anything.
