grabbed the biggest stone she could find. Many of the characters were hypocritical. The reader may have had empathy for Tess Hutchinson since she was the one who was stoned, but she would not have hesitated to stone someone else. She was worried that she was too late for the lottery which shows she wanted to stone someone, and the story never mentioned a punishment for not attending the lottery. Jackson was conveying how hypocritical racists are with this analogy. Racists persecute groups of people but

Holden was also a heavy drinker and smoker because he wanted to distract himself from his everyday life. Depression would bog down everything that was happy in Holden’s life

The eighteen hundreds were one of the numerous revolutionary eras that required a great deal of adjustment in people’s lives and romanticizing about the past, as demonstrated in both grueling short stories of William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” can be a harmful search for the impossible.

Stephen Crane’s first two works, Maggie: A Girl in the Streets and A Red Badge of Courage, may not seem like they could not be similar based on their settings. After all, what went on in the Lower East Side of New York during the late nineteenth could not possibly find a way to relate to the happenings on a battlefield during the American Civil War, right?
