Films show an image of what is happening. Books describe everything brutally well. Radios are like a cross between films and text.
Life is amazing. Have a great day and keep up the good work. :D

Well what are the statements?
The detail "And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson a few pebbles" contributes to the text because it stresses that everyone participates in the lottery, even Mrs Hutchinson's son.
To the people in the story, participating in the lottery is a necessary tradition that will ensure a good harvest. Winning the lottery (although no one really wants to "<em>win</em>") is seen as an honor.
The fact that they have Davy throw pebbles at his own mother proves that the townsfolk want every single person to share culpability for the stoning, even the smallest of children.
It's either Alliteration or Onomatopoeia.
