Shirley Jackson told: "the idea for "The Lottery" had come to me while I was pushing my daughter up the hill in her stroller—it was, as I say, a warm morning, and the hill was steep, and besides my daughter, the stroller held the day’s groceries—and perhaps the effort of that last 50 yards up the hill put an edge to the story.”
Explanation:
"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in which members of a small community join together every year to follow a tradition according to which, randomly, the destiny of one of them is decided. The raffler winner is stoned to the dead to ensure prosperity for the whole village. The title is a clear instance of irony.
That really depends on if they remember it or not if they remember it and it was weird they feel that they need to tell someone about it and if it isnt weird but is realistic they worry/wonder if it will come true
the author's purpose and what genre it is
The purpose of focus points is to maintain a person more concentrated on the important parts of something
