It is typical for people to have conspiracies about why something was written, its true meaning, and how it ties up with the life of the character. “The Lottery” is a short story written by Shirley Jackson that tells a story about a village who held a very unusual tradition. Every year the head of the household would pick a piece of paper from the “black box”, and whoever held the paper with the black dot had just summoned one of their family members to death by stoning. It is believed that…

One of the most powerful and influential books ever written to man was the bible and Christianity is what our country based its religion on. This is why it would be absurd to abolish capital punishment.

Although many people believe that the implementation of capital punishment should not be used in the United States, I believe that it should be used more often as a punishment for severe crimes. Capital Punishment, or the execution…

In the literary work "The Lottery” the author Shirley Jackson describes a tale that is shocking, inhumane, and disturbing. When it originally was released in the year of 1948 it is noted that she received hundreds of letters, but only thirteen spoke kindly to her (Shirley Jackson, 63-67). People of that time period did not know the meaning of the story and it frightened them. But even more disturbing, I believe, Jackson wanted emphasize the fact of the social evils that still exist in modern…
