"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.

The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.

Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.

The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]

Read the passage. Then answer the question.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The literary point of view in "The Rescue Mission" affects the reader's understanding of the story because the story is told in the first person. The character himself tells everything that's happening in the story, <em>including, as he tells, his thoughts, everything that is going through his mind.</em> He is not only describing the scenes and events from a distant point of view, without being necessarily connected to the events; <em>on the contrary, he is at the center of events, and everything told goes through his feelings and impressions before getting to the reader.</em>

<em> "I have received years of elite training for missions like this, and I have a spotless track record for at-sea rescues. Why do I always have to convince myself that I am capable of this?"</em> In the passage, it can be observed that the character is <em>talking to himself</em> while he tells the story, therefore, he is also having an <em>unintentional chat with the reader</em>, and introducing to the story his feelings, doubts, thoughts, and points of view. Therefore, it can be understood that the reader's understanding of the story is affected by the literary point of view in "The Rescue Mission" since the story is told in the first person.
