Slips Of Fate -the Lottery

Fate slides down short stories "lottery"; Through Shirley Jackson, the author uses satire to extend the traditional theme, but they are ridiculously barbaric, but continue. "Slaughter like a lamb"; I thought about the characters and readers in this story. The character respects the tradition that they inherited from the previous generation.

Finally, the trace of the white paper is a symbol of the victim. When the box empties and the white paper jumps out of the community, the reader can think of it as two symbols. The documentation of the white paper may symbolize that it is for all those who survived that year's community. Another document that might be a white paper is considered to be any sacrifice in the long tradition of lotteries
