The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
A lottery live draw sydney is a game in which people pay a small amount of money to try and win a larger prize. They can either select numbers or have machines randomly pick them for them. In the past, lotteries were a popular source of funding for a variety of public usages. However, the modern version of the lottery is more like a gambling game. People purchase tickets for large cash prizes and can be found in almost every state. This type of lottery is called a financial lottery.
The story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson takes place in a rural village where tradition and ritual are highly important. Many of the villagers do not even remember the reason behind the lottery but they continue to practice it. This story is a warning against blind following of outdated traditions.
One of the most obvious themes in this story is the role of family. In the story, the members of Tessie Hutchinson’s family are not supportive of her decision to stop participating in the lottery. The fact that her family members do not care about her shows that they are only concerned about themselves.
Another theme in the story is the issue of power. The story points out that even in small, peaceful looking villages evil can happen. The story also points out that the people of the village have no moral compass and do not think for themselves. They blindly follow old tradition and do not question what is right or wrong.
