Message to Edit: HTML is OFF UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by cellermann on 04-28-2003 10:34 PM I'm not sure I'm in the right spot but here goes. The story "The Lottery" was a story that seemed like a time when life was nice and simple until I got through most of it and realized that doom was near. The story was good with not a very happy ending like most of us would prefer. The one area that I thought was stranger than the fact that other small towns were stopping this tradition was that the family of the victim seemed so unconcerned of their wife/mother that was going to be stoned to death. I can understand why this would be a little unsettleing for readers in the 40's since it was a little disturbing to me given the fact that their seems to alot worse in society today.
