One of the stories chose that were most interesting was the book called “The Lottery”. The Lottery is one of my favorite story because it talks about how they were all in one big community and how they keep track and order of people living there. It’s my favorite story because in The Lottery it talks about how every year everyone that lives in the community gets to play a game and in the game they all write their name on a piece of paper. So one person has to dig through the pile of papers and picks out one piece and whoever’s name is on the paper instead of winning a great price of money they get stoned to death. The book is very intriguing and suspenceful and brings up so many parts where the reader gets more interested and wants to continue reading. I chose this story because in my point of view it made sense to why they would stone the people but at the same time was a very cruel way. This brings up somewhat history back then where they would kill people to keep everything in check and even where if a new life was born one has to die and in the story the mother ends up dying. In the story the mother was most excited to find out who’s going to win the lottery and get stoned which brings up suspence and in the end the shocking moment was she ends up getting picked out. She wins the lottery and her surprise gift is getting stoned to death Which in this part of the story causes many readers to get surprised and build up worry. It brings many emotions and keeps the reader interested and wants to read more. This is why I chose this story because not only is it an exciting story, they have very interesting objects like the Black box. The Black box was an object where they would put the names of people in the community and whoever got chosen was the sacrifice.
