Foreshadowing

“they grinned at each other humorlessly and nervously” pg. 4

Everyone was very tense and nervous about what was to come. This tells me that what is to come isn’t something any of them are looking forward to.

“‘There’s Don and Eva,’ Mrs. Hutchinson yelled. ‘Make them take their chance!’” pg. 7

This alludes to the fact that someone is going to be chosen for something that they don't want to be chosen for.

Foreshadowing: “He blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like, "Good fellow, lad," and "Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it." (Jackson 3)"

He is nervous for himself and everyone else is praising him for doing this like it's a difficult thing. Something bad could happen and everyone is glad that his mother isn't gonna be the one that it happens too.

"The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, "I hope it's not Nancy," (Jackson 6) and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd." This shows suspense because suspense is defined as feeling of worry and there was silence and hesitation noted.

“The black box grew shabbier each year: by now it was no longer completely black but

splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained.” (Jackson 2) The audience is unaware of what the box is used for and what it means. It is making the crowd nervous and uneasy.

Imagery: "The box grew shabbier each year. by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color and in some parts faded or stained"(Jackson 2).
There is a lot of meaning to the box, there is a lot of emotion with it too. The author describes it as Shabby, splintered, showing wood color, stained, faded.

Suspense: “The night before the lottery, Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves made up the slips of paper and put them in the box, and it was then taken to the safe of Mr. Summers' coal company and locked up until Mr. Summers was ready to take it to the square next morning.” (Jackson 2). The box being locked up makes it feel important and gives the impression that people may try to tamper with its contents before the lottery. The description of what Mr. Summers had to do to prepare for the Lottery also feels like since there is a lot of work to be done, it raises the importance of the Lottery.

Foreshadowing. “She tapped Mrs. Delacroix on the arm as a farewell and began to make her

way through the crowd” (Jackson 3). Mrs Hutchinson is saying her goodbyes to people. So, the author is hinting at the chance of her not being able to see people again. Which means something bad might happen.

Suspense: “A sudden hush fell on the crowd as Mr. Summers cleared his throat and looked at the list. ‘All ready?’ he called. ‘Now, I'll read the names--heads of families first--and the men come up and take a paper out of the box. Keep the paper folded in your hand without looking at it until everyone has had a turn. Everything clear?’” Mr. Summers is going to read names and have people pick from the box. This incorporates suspense because the reader still does not know what the lottery is about and people are going up to determine if they are going to win or lose.
