"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]

The sentences in the above excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's the "Four Freedoms" speech which reflects his argument that victory in the war depends on the participation of all civilians are:
The happiness of future generations of Americans may well depend upon how effective and how immediate we can make our aid felt.
We must all prepare to make the sacrifices that the emergency-almost as serious as war itself—demands.
As men do not live by bread alone, they do not fight by armaments alone. Those who man our defenses, and those behind them who build our defenses, must have the stamina and the courage which come from unshakable belief in the manner of life which they are defending.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave one of the famous speech “Four Freedoms” in which he talked about the problems that the native Americans have to face. He asks his people to support in the struggle of Independence. He appeals to the people and reminds them of the basic four freedoms which they need to be entitled to. The four freedoms are the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to worship God in his own way, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
