A Criticism of

. . .
Everything in the story is made to make the reader feel that the actually lottery is “perfectly credible”, but by the time the reader reaches the actual awful reality of it all he or she is in true shock. The reader has a hard time finding the point of the story because of its complexity of everyday life (Brooks and Warren 251). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice, 1999.

Finally, the author has done a very good job of making the reader shape his or her attitude so the reader will “take” the ending of the story a certain way. This also shows the reader how each story has two-sides (Brooks and Warren 251). how much humans try and find a scapegoat and then how humans take out all of their built up anger and insecurities on the actually scapegoat. The author also seemed to focus on how “kind and thoughtful” the neighbors try to act yet they are still able to stone their fellow town’s person just because of the tradition behind the lottery its self.
