Thank you for helping me set the stool, Mr. Graves
Hutchinson
Get up there Bill
At the beginning of The Lottery, everyone is preparing for the big lottery event. in their small town. The boys are gathering a lot of stones while the girls are talking among themselves.
It's Tessie
A man named Mr. Summer comes into the town square with a black box that will be used for the lottery. The postmaster, Mr. Graves, comes in with a stool that the black box will be set on.
Hurry up Mrs. Dunbar
You go ahead and I 'll catch up with you
This event happens during the lottery where a man named Bill Hutchinson comes up to grab his slip. His wife, Tessie, encourages him to go up and get the slip.
It isn't fair, it isn't right
After all the Hutchinson's chose their slip of paper from the box, it was found that Tessie had the paper with the black spot on it after her husband showed everyone her slip. Therefore, she will be stoned to death.
After it was figured out that Tessie won the lottery, the villagers began to pile up stones so they could stone and sacrifice Tessie for good corn.
Tessie is in the middle of a cleared space. She is strongly opposed to the idea of throwing stones at her and is protesting but the villagers are ready and are about to throw stones at her.
