"The Lottery"

"The Lottery" was the story I chose for my presentation in class thinking it would be a good story.  After reading the story I was definitely wrong, if you won the lottery you were stoned to death. That is just crazy to me I could not imagine stoning someone to death, I just don't see the point behind it. In the story it mentioned other towns were stopping the lottery but some thought that was a bad idea and the people were stupid for doing it but in my opinion those people were extremely smart. I would have hated to be the one to win that lottery, even children were using the stones to kill the winner. Now a days the lottery is completely different which I am so thankful for.
