All the children who have just finished their last days of school and are free for the summer run around and collect stones to pile up in the center of the town for the beginning of the lottery. They treat it as if it were a game and laugh with their friends. Isn’t that scary that the children are being conditioned to the teachings of this tradition so early with just as much risk?
The attitudes of the children in “The Lottery”, is quite frightening to say the least. They are like this however, because their parents and the elders of the village are already beginning to teach them that the lottery is a tradition that one day they will also have to participate in.
The children seem to be very happy that they get to participate in the stoning
