Mrs. hutchinson doesn't argue about whether or not the lottery is fair until her husband is

picked. why do you think this is? do you agree with mrs. hutchinson that it is unfair that her

family was selected for the lottery? why or why not?

In general, it possible to state that there is nothing fair about the lottery tradition in this case

Explanation:

In The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, to "win" the lottery means that someone in the family will be sentenced to death being stoned until the end. At the en of the story, after Bill Hutchinson draws a black dot in the first round of the game, which means that someone in his family will die in a really cruelty way. The real controversial part in the story, is that if it was not this family another one had to be, the practice itself is so cruel, no matter who the "winner" is. Someone has to die anyway.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
