In the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, there are many instances of irony.

The title is ironic since the idea of a lottery is to win something, in this case, the winner is stoned to death.

The opening description in paragraph one is considered ironic because it introduces the setting by describing the day as "clear and sunny" but it ends with the death of a woman.

In the story, there are also some ironic names such as Mr. Graves and Mr. Summers. While one may think of the summer as something enjoyable, he is in charge of the random killing of a villager every single year.

Jean might see that people in China look different and there is different cultural exercises. I think it would be the same if someone were to go from France to China, but there is more diversity among the world, so we could see people from China, Asia, Africa, Mexico and more. So its more common.

And they might call Jean a foreign devil because they are going to another country and leaving their own country.

His point of view is thinking of Jean as a traitor for leaving his country, but Jean might just be trying to learn form others and explore.

Hope this helps!!
