    Italian Neo Realism It must be said that neorealist style‚ like most styles‚ does not have an inherent political message.

Such a reversal is the work of careful planning by the author. The reader expects the lottery to be a celebration of some sort because Jackson describes the setting‚ details the activities of the townspeople‚ and refers to the lottery itself in terms that belie the outcome of the event. First‚ Jackson establishes a setting which suggests
