Explanation:
"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a short story distributed in the June 26, 1948 release of The New Yorker. Composed following World War II, it investigates thoughts, for example, collective savagery, singular helplessness, and the risks of indiscriminately following custom. Set in an anecdotal town in mid-twentieth century New England, the story starts as a clear story about a community's yearly lottery. Before the end, it develops into a ghastliness story including the open stoning of the lottery's winner.
The hero Miep Gies died at age 100. Miep helped the Frank family hide during World War II, but she is best known for finding and preserving Anne Frank's diary. She never thought of herself as a hero because she wanted ordinary people to think that they could do the right thing in the same circumstances.
