CHAPTER TWO The City of Locked Doors Eleven Months Later The sky was an opaque, gray-brown color; a thick fog enveloped the city like a wet, sepia blanket, starving the populous of a fresh breath, or ray of slanted sunlight. Seldom was there a variation in hue from horizon to opposite horizon, it was stubbornly blended, one single, dull color through and through.

In the story “The Lottery,” written by Shirley Jackson, I was astonished by the outcome of Tessie being the winner, and yet she got stoned to death.

The story shows that tradition should be questioned. This is my favorite story because it gets me thinking about my family’s traditions. The symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony in the story is…
