I illustrated a scene from The Lottery. In this scene, they're standing around with other members of the community waiting for the tradition to start.
In The Lottery, children gather stones before the ritual begins and make a large pile. These stones are later used in the story to stone someone to death.
The story, The Lottery starts off by describing the landscape and how it felt that day, and it was sunny and warm, with flowers and green grass, which created a calm, pleasant mood.
