short story three

I must first start out by saying that The Lottery is one of the craziest theings i have ever seen or read. I get so many different thoughts running through my head with this.
the first thing that happens is the community is about to play the lottery. People look like they are having a good time until i find out that this is no lottery at all. Could you imagine playing a lotto ticket and the prize is your life? When you win this lotto you are actually losing.
This story was hard to comprehend but the main thing i got out of it was that things are as good as they seem. You should never go into something that seems good without your block up. What was so crazy was the fact that these people were sitting here an voluntering to do this. This is like nothing i have ever heard of.
I would have to say thast the theme of hte story is like your world is complete differnt if you get away from your surroundings. Like if you get out from where you are things will change instantly. The world is all about how you comprehend it.
the subject on the other is something around dont judge a book by its cover. If you jump to conclusions it isnt always right. i think someone is about to get some money and then next thing i know there are a bunch of people throwing rocks at this lady. that proves it right there.
This story also kinda put me into shell shock. I was deffinitely not expecting what happened. I really think the author supported the theme really good. It deffinitley can leave you with something to think about. I deffinitely think that this is a great short story.
