In this excerpt from Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" the repeated references to stones are best described as an example of metaphor

What is lottery?
A lottery is a type of gaming in which numbers are drawn at random in hopes of winning a prize. Some governments forbid lotteries, while others support them to the point that they hold a federal or state lottery. Government regulation of lotteries to some extent is quite prevalent. The most typical rule is that sales to minors are prohibited and that lottery ticket sellers need a licence. Although lotteries were popular in the US and a few other nations throughout the 19th century, by the start of the 20th century, the majority of gambling activities, including lotteries and sweepstakes, were prohibited in the US, much of Europe, as well as many other nations. This held true until a long time after World War II.

Maurinko [17]

Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.

Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.

Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.

The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.

Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.

Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.

Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.

Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
