Shirley Jackson effectively achieves her purpose of making the audience think about blindly following traditions. She describes a town that follows an age-old tradition of choosing someone in the community to sacrifice. Different characters have different symbolic meanings. The children show how a new generation learns to follow a tradition without questioning it. The names of prominent town members Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves show symbolic meaning as well. The name Summers shows how the tradition happens continually, like a season. The name Graves highlights the fact that no one speaks out against the deaths. Jackson draws readers in with suspense before shocking them by unveiling that the lottery is a way of picking someone to sacrifice. This shock adds to the effectiveness because it forces a reaction out the readers.
