Authors Note: This is about the theme of “The Lottery” and
how tradition plays a big part of this story.
Imagine a twisted town one that has
any traditions. Some of which are normal then others but then there’s one that
sticks out like a sore thumb. In the story “The Lottery” there is a twisted
tradition involved and that is the theme.
The theme
of this story is tradition and that is because of all of the tradition that
they have in the city. It may see different then what people in modern society
think of when they think of a lottery. When the modern person thinks of the
lottery they think of hard to win, like getting attacked by a polar bear and a
brown bear in the same day, then of course the money. Well that is not the
focus of this story in this story if you win the lottery you don’t win any
money you win DEATH. Then sense it’s a
tradition that would break that tradition.
In the end
the people of this city just do what they think is right. Although it may not
be humane it is a tradition and that is how these people live.
