Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

This is an example of Shirley Jackson's use of symbolism. In these lines, Jackson tells us about the origin of the box that is used in the lottery. She tells us that this box had an air of importance and tradition because it had been made with pieces from a past box. This made people reluctant to replace it. In this passage, Jackson uses the box as a symbol for the lottery. It is meant to stand for a tradition that does not fulfill its purpose anymore but is preserved by the people due to a psychological attachment to its symbolic value.
