This is a short story I remember reading in high school and it's one I think everyone should read especially young people since they will soon be the thinkers and doers in the world. The entire time one reads this story about a small town and the lottery they hold annually you can sense that something is very, very off and by the end it all comes together and while shocking and slightly unnerving it's something that should be always in the back of everyone's mind. We should not go along with something just because it is the way things have always been done as they do in the village in the story. This story is a good reminder to question tradition and going along with the crowd for fear that we may very well be participating in a modern day lottery.
mmm sounds very interesting. thanks for sharing!
