Since then, Mrs. Watson still grieves and mourns for the death of her husband. Jack Watson, their son, currently draws for their household. If ever the Watson family is chosen again, either Jack or Mrs. Watson will face death. Loneliness can drive an individual to suicidal thoughts and actions just to be reunited once more with their lost loved ones. The lottery has tremendously impacted families. You would be oblivious to this fact of course because for a lucky man like you, you aren’t included in the black, death box. This reason is why we are sorry for you.

    Gambling, whether for life or money, is risky and success is not guaranteed, even if you ‘win’. Two different tales both involving risk. In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” by DH Lawrence a little boy named Paul is a very interesting, unique character. He is a passionate, exuberant little boy. Along with Bassett, the family gardener and his uncle Oscar, Paul gambles at the horse races. He is trying to make money for his family who is very poor. Paul has a way with ‘knowing’ which horse will win; he rides his childhood rocking-horse and while riding he gets a feeling about a certain horse and that horse is the one he gambles on. Paul doesn’t always get an answer but when he does, it is always right on. While in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, the main character we focus on is Tessie, while she, like Paul, is gambling, she isn’t gambling by choice and definitely not for profit. Along with the rest of the village she lives in, Tessie is gambling for her life. Tessie is excited about the lottery each year, every year but this one, when her family is drawn, she protests that the lottery is unfair. She then proceeds to reluctantly draw a slip of paper and of…
