Semantics of “on” versus “in”

English
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
8 0
When talking about locations: "on" means being located on top of a certain surface, and "in" inside another object: Compare on the box and in the box. This is the major difference in their meaning.

They are also used to denote a number of other relationships, such as "in December", "on Friday" but I would say that their usage there is more metaphical and idiomatic: and the major semantic difference is between "inside" and "on top of".

The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, explain how these story have created social change, either directly or indirectly.
Ivenika [448]

In its time, "The Lottery" was very controversial because it was seen as an attack on small rural towns, which made made up a very significant portion of America. It was a message saying that tradition should not be followed blindly because it is illogical or even harmful. However, over time, the message was taken into account and people began to question why they did certain things. It even held so much impact that it became the inspiration for the popular book and movie series, "The Hunger Games".
