The person becomes the scapegoat and will be stoned to death.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" was a short story written by Shirley Johnson in which she pictures a certain fictional town in contemporary America where there is an annual ritual through which bad people are removed from the town through lottery. The person selected through lottery is stoned to death.

It is an annual ritual which they believe guarantees good harvest. It was a tradition they followed blindly and nobody ever questions the rational or the person becomes "The Lottery".

Which period time would you live in and why
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: The 80s. The 80s has some of the BEST music of all time in my opinion. I mean there was Michael Jackson, shall I say anymore? During that era there was not that much technology or social media and I think living like that would be so cool and just relaxing. The fashion was amazing, and everything vintage was so cool. You could hang out after after school at arcades and malls which just seems like a dream to me. Anyways I could go on forever but I'll just save you from that.
