The Lottery / surprise
Mid summer green grass, clear sky's, and fresh flowers in bloom. The members of a town gathered in the town square, papulation about 300, most of the children out of school but continue to talk about it. They gather everyone in town to wait for Mr. Summers. "He was a around- faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, [people felt pity for him] no children and his wife was a scold.", (lines 40-42 pg.26). He was the one who prepared everything for the annual Lottery, like the putting the names of evry citizen young or old in a box.
The Stoning / Finally
Everyone has mixed feelings about the Lottery, but low and behold everyone hast to participate. Some even run late or close to late like Tessie Hutchinson. Quotes from above, found on pg. 28. She as every other town person, is waiting on the choosing of the Names, while chit chatting with Mrs. Delacroix. But soon she had to meet up with her husband, and son little Davy in the front.

It cam time to pick the names out of the box. All the heads of each family were chosen, including the Hutchinson family. When everyone got there card it was time for Mr. Hutchison turn to look at the family's names, they got a dark orange dot on Tessie's name. She began to protest not wanting the Lottery to decide her fate. She protested, quote above lines 229-230, she expresses her displeasure in getting chosen.
As soon as the box decided Tessie's fate it was the towns responsibility to shrink the population. As goes to show the Lottery's questionable actions and what it is willing to bring out of people. Weather it was willingly or not everyone including little Davey had to stone Tessie to the death, its just how tradition goes. Tessie still continued begging for her life to the end (quoted above lines 329-330), but no amount of bargaining will kill off a timeless tradition.
