9 sentence paragraph



THE LOTTERY
In Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery", irony is portrayed through the community event of the lottery. As the reader begins to read the story, they assume the lottery is something that is celebrated, but as the story progresses, the reader realizes that the lottery is nothing but a death sentence. In the beginning of the story, the setting sets the mood of a perfect summer's day. The first sentence states, " The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day, the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green" (1) When people think of summer, they think of happy, joyful, good times. This makes the reader think that there will be no harm done and the results of the lottery will be something positive and good. As the reader gets more in depth into the story, he or she will realize that the lottery is really negative and bad: a death sentence. After everyone had picked a piece of paper out of the black box, they began to look around the crowd to see who had "won" the lottery. Bill Hutchinson was standing back quietly, staring down at the death sentence in his hand. Tessie Hutchinson started yelling at Mr. Summer's, saying "You didn't give him enough time to take the paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!" (6) Since Tessie had "won", she finally came to the realization that the lottery wasn't fair and that it wasn't a good thing only because it was happening to her. That shows that winning the lottery isn't a good thing at all.
