After it ran, hundreds of readers cancelled their subscriptions or wrote letters expressing their anger and confusion over what the story meant.

 

Jackson became a literary sensation almost overnight."

Reaction: “The Lottery”

  1. Did the story end how you expected? Why or why not?
  2. Why do you think Shirley Jackson might have decided to tell this story? (”I don’t know” is not an answer; take a reasonable guess, and don’t be afraid to be “wrong”.)
  3. Ask one question about this story OR share one connection it makes you think of (either to yourself, the world, or another story/movie/TV show, etc.).
