The man saying he finished his roof yesterday foreshadows the fact that he did it for a reason rather coincidence: he finished his roof so that if he was chosen, his family wouldn't have to find someone to do it for them.

The black box symbolizes the fear in the people because they don´t want to be killed
Motif: Fear

It is ironic that they are drawing for "the lottery". They are picking a piece of paper with a dot. This is ironic because when winning the lottery you get a large amount of money, however in this Utopian world if you pick the piece of paper with a dot then you die.

# data[].attributes.body
The people choosing the pieces of paper, are trying to do their best and chose, but there is no way for them to know which paper will end someone in their family. That is a horrible burden to be carrying...

An example of foreshodowing is when the men in the film were talking about roofing the houses. The man finished roofing the houses a day before because they wanted to finish something before the day thet might possibly be killed. A symbol in this movie was the paper that had a dot. This paper determained whether you lived or not. The paper symbolized misfortune in a way. A motif that would tie to this film would be death or misfortune.

# data[].attributes.body
The lottery or winning the lottery is supposed to be a good thing and end with good consequences. In the story/film, the Hutchinson family was chosen and won the lottery. After they won the lottery, each member of the family had to pick a paper and if the paper had a dot then they would be murdered by rocks. Many people seem unenthusiastic and the mood is extremely tense. Tessie, the mother figure in the Hutchinson family chose the paper with the dot and dies. This is ironic because although winning the lottery is supposed to be a positive thing, it results in a death in this story.

When Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Delacroix say that it seems as it the last lottery was only last week and it doesn't seem so long ago that they got through the last one, it indicates they are not very exited for the lottery.

The black box is a symbol of the ancient tradition and how they have been doing this for ages and have made little to no changes. It is also a symbol of the terrible things that will occur to one unlucky person.

The man saying that he finished the roof early foreshadows that he might not have been able to finish it later because of the effects of the lottery.

The paper that had a mark means that the person who picks it is going to die. The mark is a black circle that can symbolize the hole a bullet makes, which connects to the 🤬 of the person who picked it. But it can also symbolize a small rock. Which connects to the way the winner of the lottery is killed.

The black box symbolizes the darkness of the situation, and the uncertainty felt by the people

# data[].attributes.body
The people definitively do not want to win. It is very clear by their expressions and the way they walk to the black box and take the paper out of it. This gives us a hint that whatever happens to the person that wins is not good.

# data[].attributes.body
What strikes me the most odd is how willing the people are to stone Tessie. I understand how it was superstition but still.

Winning this lottery is losing your life. The author is trying to show that winning the real lottery might not be as good as everyone thinks.

Everyone seems happy and calm before picking, as if it was an ordinary thing while knowing that for the lottery to work, they had to 🤬 someone that chooses the black dot as a symbol of tradition that many believe shouldn't end in their village.

# data[].attributes.body
The black box is a symbol of how the town doesn't change, and how it doesn't want to change. The Lottery has been around for a long time, showing how little it has changed over time. Even though the box is old, cracked, and worn, they still keep it the same.

The black box represents a darker theme lying under this happy town. They all are happy and bright and this black box seems somewhat out of place for what is normally a good occasion. The lottery, a time when people win money and good fortune is represented with an ominous box.

The overall mood of the movie is happiness, although they all know that somebody will be murdered.

The black box symbolizes the town's ideas; getting older, yet staying the same through time.

# data[].attributes.body
From the expressions on everyone's face shows that something bad is happening. People are not excited about it obviously so it must be a lottery for something more gruesome.

# data[].attributes.body
The Kids are playing with rocks and it is also defined as "cute" by a woman (in the movie). But the real reason they are collecting rocks is to k1ll the winner of the lottery, not to play with them.
