They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed.

"Mr. Graves"

the post man's name being Mr. Graves is an example of irony/foreshadowing because someone ends up dying in the story. death and graves are both words that revolve around dying.

"Mrs. Hutchinson came hurriedly along the path to the square, her sweater thrown over her shoulders, and slid into place in the back of the crowd. “Clean forgot what day it was,” she said to Mrs. Delacroix, who stood next to her, and they both laughed softly. “Thought my old man was out back stacking wood,” Mrs. Hutchinson went on, “and then I looked out the window and the kids was gone, and then I remembered it was the twenty-seventh and came a-running.” She dried her hands on her apron, and Mrs. Delacroix said, “You’re in time, though. They’re still talking away up there.”" -this suggest she forgot about the lottery because it was a good day meaning the lottery is inherently something bad.

"Davy put his hand into the box and laughed" The baby thinks that its fun to take a slip of paper out of a box, but he does not know that it could be the piece of paper that could kill him.

“It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.

he whole idea of a lottery is to win something, and the reader is led to believe that the winner will receive some prize, when in actuality they will be stoned to death by the rest of the villagers.

"...eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square."

This sentence is an example of foreshadowing because the pile of stones are later used to kill Mrs. Hutchinson, as they are the traditional tool.

"Nancy and Bill, Jr., opened theirs at the same time, and both beamed and laughed, turning around to the crowd and holding their slips of paper above their heads."

The irony is that they didn't get the marked paper, but they were happy. We would expect them to be sad because lotteries are generally good if you win, but it foreshadows that something bad happens to the person who picked the marked paper.

"the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them;"

This shows that they are all nervous in a scary way not the way you would think when there is a lottery

The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool, and when Mr. Summers said, “Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?,” there was a hesitation before two men, Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter, came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up the papers inside it.

Mr. Summers said. Davy put his hand into the box and laughed. “Take just one paper,

he says just take one paper because the other papers could kill him or maybe the one that kills him.

"Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones;"

the stones were collected by the little kids because they were going to help stone someone.
