The Lottery: Youre Only Losing Your Life
In 1948, Shirley Jackson published a ill-considered story in The New Yorker called The Lottery. In 1996, a modern adaption was adapted when a made for idiot stripe movie was produced by Anthony Spinner. Both versions relay that there is authority in large numbers, even when the outcome is immoral. Mind identifys and rituals in caller are often the result of our complacency; it is easier to keep with customs duty then to question its necessity or benefits. The time set of the movie versus the story and the time they were intended to be go through allow for some interesting differences in the stories. In the end, some(prenominal) maintain the theme that blind obedience is irrational and grotesque.
The write story begins with a lovely scene; I would close to envision a small, harmonious town setting equal the park in The Music Man. The story is told from a third base person viewpoint and is unemotional but very intentional about the town, the lottery and the people. This lulls the reader into a false wizard of security and excitement about what will take place. In the end what takes place in the movie and book is a lottery where slips of papers are drawn from a box to select one person from the village. The person selected is a whipping boy and is stoned to death in the town square by every single villager. The viewpoint in the movie version is seen from Jason.
Within the first fifteen minutes we see the darkness and corruption of modern day society through his experiences. Jasons in traffic: he finds a dead body; he witnesses the death of his father in a mental infirmary and comes home to being dumped by a girlfriend that is calling climbing by sleeping with her boss.
Again another good piece. genuinely discriptive and informative. I enjoy reading your work.
Keep it up
