The lottery
The lottery is a short story by Shirley Jackson. This narration is based on society and
class as well as certain traditions and norms within a given society.
The ending of the short story by Jackson is somewhat abrupt and the turn of events is
very surprising as it had not been seen. However, the significance of this short story is properly
brought out in the last part of the story. The winner of the lottery, Tess Hutchison, is stoned to
death by the people present in the lottery. Jackson uses this to symbolize how society can be
cruel and in some way show some form of savagery as much as the same society can be civilized
and modern. It simply brings out the significance of people being conscious of the surroundings
they are in since as much as exposed and civilized they might seem they might have some form
of hidden bitterness and brutality within.
It is the same ending of the short story that brings a complete turn of events in the
narration. The sudden death of the winner and the brutal killing carried by the mob participating
in the lottery serves to complicate things even more. The fact that children were the ones who
had stones that the rest used to stone Tessie Hutchison also indicates how barbaric the action

was. Instead of the people exercising some form of modesty in resolving the misunderstanding
they resorted to violence.
Irony in the story comes about when the society brought out by Jackson as civilized and
modern acts very savage like which is quite unexpected of such people.
Everyday use
Everyday use is a short story by Alice Walker. The significance of this story by Walker is
to educate the readers more on the importance of family. The fact that the narrator is anticipating
to see her daughter, Dee, whom she has not seen for a while explains more the significance of
family to people all over. She goes into fantasizing meeting her in a TV talk show and how great
it would feel. In the short story, the significance of family traditions and culture is well brought
out as among the important factors that play a role in making us to who we are today. In the
narration we are able to see how family traditions are brought down from generation to
generation.
Irony in the short story by Walker is brought when Dee creates a scene about the quilts
that she feels she deserves more and on the grounds that she has not been around more she seems
to deserve them. The mother however is adamant that she is not giving them to her which
infuriates Dee as she argues that Maggie does not deserve them.
It’s also ironical that the two, narrator and Maggie are rarely affected by the departure of
Dee and Hakim which is contrary to what we expect as the narrator who is the mother has not
seen her daughter for a while.
