"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner." -this sets the mood for the most of the rest of the story and tells of how normal the day was.

The lottery was conducted—as were the square dances, the teen-age club, the Halloween program—by Mr. Summers, who had time and energy to devote to civic activities.

“All right, folks,” Mr. Summers said. “Let’s finish quickly.”

“Wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink, now, would you, Joe?,” and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after Mrs. Hutchinson’s arrival." This shows the happy lighented mood and tone of the crowd, because of soft laughters, and the joke made by Mrs. Huchinson.

light and cheerful, but shifts to tense and ominous. In the first paragraph, Jackson describes a normal summer morning, ''clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green.

"The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, “I hope it’s not Nancy,” and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd."

This sentence sets the mood of the story to be intense and suspenseful, as the people don't know who is going to get the marked slip of paper.

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?”

It shows how everything got quiet and serious and tense all of the sudden.

The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times.

“I wish they’d hurry,” Mrs. Dunbar said to her older son. “I wish they’d hurry.”

“There goes my old man,” Mrs. Delacroix said. She held her breath while her husband went forward.

"they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play"

"The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, 'I hope it’s not Nancy,' and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd."

In the beginning the mood and tone was playful, however in the end it wa more anxiety-filled.

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

It's ironic how people stood in the corner near the rocks where they would later stone one of their friends.
