The only reason the lottery still takes place today is due to the people of the town blindly following tradition. The last thing the townspeople would want to do is stop practicing the lottery because it’s wrong, and risk breaking the status quo. A quote that symbolizes tradition through that actual lottery is, “Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones.” This observation goes to show how ignorant the…
