It isn’t written on the pages, but if it were missing, the story would never get read. Mood is what separates simple stories from timeless classics; it gives the words a personalized meaning and a way for the reader to bond with the story. In both “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “The Lottery,” the mood fluctuates, exposing gaps in social constructs, manipulating your feelings to mirror what the author wants you to feel.…

    In the story “The lottery” by Shirley Jackson the point, moral and theme of the story is a dark and cruel because it says that the townspeople stoned her due to the fact that there is overpopulation and it was a brutal way to remove someone from the village which is the irony that this story has. The tone of the story in the beginning of the story seems to be nice and smooth, the mood feels calm and gentle with nothing to fear. For example, in the beginning of the story everybody is happy and cheerful, but towards The middle of the story it gets a little intense because we think that the prize is money or something fancy but in reality it really isn’t.
