Question

Under what circumstances should a tradition be reconsidered or discontinued? in lottery by shirley jackson story

Answer 1

Answer:

It should be discontinued if it isn't morally right to do.

Explanation:

The tradition in The Lottery was that every year, the town would have a lottery. Whoever won would be stoned and killed. They don't really have a reason to do this other than it being a tradition that has already been done dozens of times.

A tradition should be discontinued if it isn't morally right. It isn't right to kill a town member every year for doing nothing wrong, so it should be discontinued.
