Theme Of Tradition In The Lottery

A tradition can be the best thing ever or a horrible thing. People all over the world have tradition, even you. Nevertheless, in the Lottery, the village has a tradition that they do every year. Their tradition is killing one person per year. The village thinks that by killing one person would give them more corn to survive. The gathering starts on June 26th and finishes on the 27th.The village gathers by the square.The square is between the post office and the bank. When everyone is there, the men of the household go and pick a card. In the story, Mr.Hutchinson gets a card with a big black dot. Now his whole family and himself pick a card. Mr.Hutchinson and Mrs.Hutchinson and their three kids. Mr.Summers is the one that announces that
each one of the family members needs to pick a card.Mrs.Hutchinson wins the lottery. Everyone in town goes and gets stoned or rocks. Her own best friend gets a big rock for Tessie(Mrs.Hutchinson). Tessie's own son; who is a toddler, her husband and other two kids get stoned. The whole town circle’s Tessie and start killing her to death. The box is black just like the dot on the card. The box means death. In the story she keeps saying how it is not fair, but no one cares because it is tradition. In the story they have tradition that was made decades ago and no one bothers to end it. So everyone has any evil side in him/her even if you say you don't.
