Question

The people of the village met at 10:00 AM which meant? ""The lottery""

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Meeting at ten in the morning meant the villagers would have enough time to be done with the lottery and be home by noon for lunch. While other bigger towns had to begin the lottery one day earlier, this village only had 300 inhabitants, which made it all faster for them.

"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson in which the power of ritual and tradition is discussed as theme. The inhabitants of a village take part in a lottery every single year, on the 27th of June. The person who name is ultimately drawn in the lottery has to be killed by the others.
