This term in English Comp II, have read many stories of fiction. "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson was one of the stories we read. "The Lottery" is a small town in America has a lottery drawing. In the beginning of the story, the lottery is described as a special event that occurs every year on a date assigned. After reading the first paragraph shows that it is not a regular lottery is taking place. While reading "The Lottery", I found that there are many examples of symbolism throughout the short story (Hardy, 34-56).
