This was originally a short story that was written by Shirley Jackson in 1948 and first published in “The New Yorker.” She said she wrote it for no other purpose than …”to shock the story’s readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.”

Welp, we’ve gone straight to Hell then. There is absolutely no hope left for us.

It is about ethics and about beliefs. How far would someone go to follow what they where raised to do. This was merely a belief that they would have a better harvest if they sacrificed a person. This belief was bred on tradition. I don’t agree with this but it is a valid point.

and yes, I know that the story has deeper meanings. but that’s what I meant by thoughtful conversations. This story doesn’t (or rather it shouldn’t) leave you with good feelings. It makes you think, but it can probably scar younger children if you ask me. Nightmares, scary thoughts and sudden phobias could probably result from reading things like this at young ages. I enjoyed the story personally, but I don’t see how we’re still teaching this to younger kids in public schools.

I’m doing a report on this story tomorrow. The analyzation of the story–the diction, tone, syntax, and literary devices of the piece. It’s sort of aggravating though… even though I’m in high school, I don’t think it’s a very good story to teach younger children. My dad told me that he read this when he was in elementary and middle school. High school is alright, but it still has a very negative impact on people. It really doesn’t serve any purpose other than thoughtful conversations.

The story is meant to show how we are so accepting of violence until it becomes personal.

Yeah I thought it was F’ed up that they made us watch this in school…I can’t remember what grade,…maybe early jr. high school. I don’t have kids yet but I would not want the public school that I pay taxes for to show them this sick video. It should be for an older crowd and there needs to be a warning before they just put it on. I can’t even remember what class we watched it in,…maybe english?

It’s very disturbing isn’t it? The message behind the story is that human beings will never let traditions die no matter how rediculous and barbaric they are. Shirley Jackson was a great writer. I suggest you read the book of her short stories. It’s called The Lottery and Other Stories.

How does Jackson lull the reader into false sense of security initially, and build suspense in this classic tale of unquestioning adherence to a primitive fertility rite?

this movie mad me very mad in class. we also watched the full length lifetime movie which was even worse. i just didn’t like the whole idea of it.
i’m a freshman and it was not something i would recommend showing to younger kids. i certainly didn’t enjoy it.

You never heard of Neflix? You don`t know what your missing! It is a website you can join and order movies thru the mail. You make a list, the movie arrives in the mail, and you send it back. No late fees or due dates. They have everything! My plan is $ 17.00 a month to have 3 movies at a time. Check it out. This sounds like a commercial!
