How is the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson similar to the novel series The Hunger Games?

Between these stories there are some similarities like a tribute to the early story 'lottery'. On the other hand, the name chosen by the author is symbolic: in Jackson 's short story, some of the surnames are "Summers" and "Graves", and these names are symbolic of the story. "Summers" means that each season draw is repeated, it will be an annual tradition like an agricultural festival. The name "Graves" has played a predictive role. The reason is that the lottery always caused other people to kill residents of the town.

The symbolic nature of many names of "Hunger Games" has found a name based on nature as well as the names of Shakespearean characters and mythical characters. These names are not explicit, they tend to be requested in this way. Katniss' sister Primrose said she was fragile and young, emphasizing the desire to protect her in Katniss. Their last name "Everdeen" shows the concept of loyalty and firmness, and "eternity" means that Katniss is constant and reliable. Other participants in the starving game are mythical names from Shakespeare, such as twin Castor and Pollux, or President Coriolanus (a drama named after Roman leaders), or Cressida (from Troilus and Cressida) I have. By using names in these words, myths and ancient history are brought to the story, giving timeless qualities, reminding the past, fusing images suggestive of the future.

Another similarity of the two stories is the central event described in each story; lottery drawing and hunger game are spectacles and competitions designed to be a coincidence game. Elements of fate are strongly reflected in the results, but these two events were also designed and implemented by their respective governments, and residents were forced to participate.

Suzanne Colin's starving game and Shirley Jackson's lottery are theme, scapegoat and sacrifice. "Lottery" is an intense murder every year to protect the tradition. The same thing happened in a tribute game, a fatal death match and a starving game where men and women representing their regions were chosen. But the end of these two stories is different. - ... Hutchinson lost the lottery, she said, "This is not fair." Then the stone hit the head. "(Jackson 5) The stone Hutchinson they used to throw stones came from the mountain of stones collected by the children in the morning, which is a tradition to draw lotteries every year.The end of the lottery, citizens I will kill people who live in the city.In this special town, even women and children are not immune to death.

Shirley Jackson's "Lottery" Shirley Jackson's "Lottery" is a good example of a legendary short story. In this story, readers understand the town 's annual "draw" once a year. This rural town is a long-standing tradition, and the villagers did not ask questions of these activities and pursued it blindly. What is not known to the reader is what prize the winner receives. - Our tradition will serve as a compass for our relationships and personal exchanges, the qualitative experience of our family life, and ultimately social development. When we respect tradition, we learn to respect ourselves and each other. Robert Frost's poem "Repairing the Wall" and Shirley Jackson's story "Le Lot" contains an example of a seemingly meaningless tradition.
