The Summary
In the story of "The Lottery" everyone in the village participated in it. This lottery only happens in the summer. It had hit the summer and the children of the village went around collecting stones and putting them in their pocket for the lottery. They all join in the square on June 27 and started the Lottery. Tessie was late for the lottery and everyone where teasing her and making fun of her because she had came late to the lottery. Mr. Summer had held the lottery and told everyone to write on the piece of paper and throw it into the small black box which looks so funny to people because it isn't the real one, but the real black box had been missing since long time ago even before the old age. They had rules for the lottery and the rules is that Mr. Summers will be reading out names of the family head to go up and draw a slip of paper and to throw it into the black box. Mr. Summer was in a hurry and so he started the lottery already and when he had called out names everyone opened up their papers and had spread the word that Bill Hutchinson has got it. Tessie complained that it isn't fair because Bill didn't have the time to draw on the paper. So they called up the Hutchinson family to go up and draw on the paper, but Tessie only drawn a small dot on her paper. When they called the name it was Tessie and she said it wasn't fair still. While saying it wasn't fair she got hit by a stone on her head and everyone started throwing her more stones.
