review 1: The Lottery is about a town who plays together and back then they played so that the winner could get crops and over the years the traditions have changes. Now the winner dies and the way you die is by picking peices of paper and the paper with the black dot is chosen by a oerson and the person who draws it will be stoned to death by the family and rest of the community. The lottery used ti mean something that would out people and now it kills people

Powerful and says a lot about human nature. less
