In the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, it started by everyone drawing a paper from a little black box. If you get the one with the black circle on it your family is eligible to get beaten to death by rocks. After you find out you have the circle everyone from your family draws and whoever gets the black dot know looses. The theme I give this story is power of tradition.
In the movie The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, was similar to the short story. It all started out by the little children picking up stones for the end of the story. Bill Hutchison drew the black dot which made his family eligible to be beaten to death. Tessie Hutchinson drew the black dot for the second (family) drawing. The kids were the ones picking up the stones
