Answer:

In this story, winning the lottery means that you are stoned to death, not the recipient of a great prize. Secondly, the description in the first paragraph of the story is also ironic. Jackson describes the day as "clear" and "sunny," for instance, and notes that the flowers are "blossoming."

One example of irony is that Tess is chosen to be the one for the lottery yet in the beginning she is portrayed to be a carefree woman that cares for her family and a person the town likes. Also old Man Warner makes fun of towns that are wanting to get rid of The Lottery and he thinks that means they will go back to primitive times. Though it is the opposite because that town is moving forward by abandoning dated traditions to match moral standards.

What is the best definition for this combination of word parts derm and logy
Afina-wow [57]
Well derm is another term used for dermis which, in anatomy, is the thick layer of tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, and hair follicles.

The definition of logy is: slow in movement or thought, or in other words sluggish.

The best definition that I can give for these two words is slow acting skin?
Another thought that comes to mind is the word dermatology which is the branch of medicine that studies the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders.
