My father is dying. There is no way around that fact. He is not slipping away piece by piece, but is being taken from me in large chunks. His cheeks have begun to hollow and his eyes have begun to sink. He complains of the loss of feelings in his fingers, and the tightness in his throat. A gastrostomy tube was surgically inserted into his abdomen when he became unable to swallow. He stopped going to the grocery store with me. He stopped wanting to take walks around the 100-acre land he worked…

The dictionary defines the word “blind” as the lack of perception, awareness, or discernment. Symbolism, irony, and foreshadowing is used in many ways by the author in her short story called “The Lottery”. Shirley Jackson uses these literary devices to emphasize the idea that people will follow traditions blindly if that was how they were raised. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a short story about a strange tradition.
