The lottery

The Lottery

Author: Shirley Jackson
What is justice?
When people get what they deserve.
Traditions~going to my aunt's and uncles's house on Christmas.
~Eating turkey on Thanksgiving, and going by grandmas.
 The community/town in this short story.
The town was a very little town and seemed to be “old fashioned”. Everyone in the town was segregated.
What happened to Mrs. Hutchinson? Why?
Mrs. Hutchinson was stoned to death because she won the lottery. There was no reason given to why this happend. Mrs. Hutchinson comes to the ralization that it's not fair, because at last, she was being the one stoned.
Questions:Why do they do the lottery?
Who started the tradition?
Why is the lottery so messed up?
Why do Tessy's kids throw rocks at her and not think it's wrong.
Quote: 
“The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davey Hutchinson a few pebbles.” - stand up for your family.
