In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson exemplifies how the annual stoning enables the otherwise rational humans in the town to make scapegoats out of their peers. Jackson accomplishes this through the actions and descriptions of the characters throughout the story, including the roles of the women in the community, which demonstrates how those who have less power are typically targets for scapegoating.

In the last chapter we talked about the old command that 's new. The Christian life is one of love. We are called to love God and love others. Those who do that, who follow God 's command to love, who love like Christ, are his. But where does our love stop? Is there a limit or are there things that we are not to love?
