What is meaningful about the way the townsfolk react to the ritual/tradition of the lottery represented in the story, especially considering the ending? What is Jackson trying to say about how we (humans) follow traditions blindly? And, what do some of the symbols in the story reveal about Jackson's view of traditions overall? What are the conflicts in the story and how are they represented by the characters? Use elements of fiction (characters, setting, plot, language, symbolism, etc.) to elaborate. Do not look up anything online! I want your analysis from reading the work.
