ATTENTION VILLAGERS: The results of this year’s lottery are in. Please direct your final thoughts to the comment section below before the stones are distributed.
Well… that escalated quickly.
Let’s talk about The Lottery — what it means, what it unsettles, and what still feels true. Comment your thoughts, gut reactions, or theories.
Bonus question: If our book club did a symbolic lottery, what would the “stone” be? (Be nice 😭)
this was a pretty interesting but short read! I think the overall concept/story would’ve been great if it were to be written as a book or maybe even made into a movie.
can you elaborate?
what a comment! I wouldn’t want to give Jackson too much of a bad rap since the story is only 6-7 pages. That being said, I think in the space that was made, she made great use of it and told a compelling and thought-provoking story. But overall, I think you definitely make some great points that are hard to argue against!
