This document discusses the moralistic approach to literary criticism, which judges works based on their ethical teachings and effects on readers rather than formal principles. It provides examples of critics like Plato, Horace, Sidney, and Johnson who took a moralistic view and praised literature that encouraged virtue or condemned works that misguided readers. The document also discusses related movements like humanism during the Renaissance which emphasized order, restraint, discipline, and the study of classical works. It notes 20th century critics like More, Babbitt, and Foerster who followed a neo-humanist, moralistic approach to literature.
The poem describes the narrator's dependence on his telephone for happiness. It allows him to feel connected to others despite being separated by distance. Without it, he compares himself to a bear sleeping through winter. But when the telephone rings, it brings him joy and alerts him to news from friends, springing him to life like the coming of spring. The telephone provides a sense of community in the lonely modern city.

[1916–1965]
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 less than 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.
The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys.

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. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him, because he had no children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called, “Little late today, folks.” The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three-legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers set the black box dow.
The summary analyzes a document that describes a village gathering for their annual lottery. The villagers, including children and families, assemble in the town square as Mr. Summers prepares to conduct the lottery using slips of paper in a black box. Attendees chat with each other until Mr. Summers calls the lottery to order to determine who will draw from the box and which families are represented.
The document provides a summary of the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. It describes the key characters including Mr. Summers, Old Man Warner, Tessie Hutchinson and her family.

“The Lottery”
By Shirley Jackson
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 less than 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.
The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling
of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before
they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books
and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys
soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones
and Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great
pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The
girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the
very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain,
tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes
were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. 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.
Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of

“The Lottery”
By Shirley Jackson
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 less than 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.
The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling
of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before
they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books
and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys
soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones
and Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great
pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The
girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the
very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain,
tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes
were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. 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.
Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of
stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his
father and his oldest brother.

The document describes the annual lottery that takes place in a small village, where residents gather in the town square each year to participate in the ritual drawing of papers from a black box to see who will be stoned to death as a sacrifice. The lottery is overseen by Mr. Summers, who ensures all residents are accounted for and properly draws papers from the box while the crowd looks on anxiously. Although the ritual's origins are unclear, it has been a tradition for generations in the isolated community.

The document analyzes symbolism in the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. It discusses how various elements in the story, such as the black wooden box, slips of paper, and stones, represent the long-standing tradition of the violent lottery ritual and the emotions it evokes among the unwilling participants. The lottery has been practiced in the village for as long as anyone can remember and represents how harmful customs can persist solely through tradition rather than reason.
The short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson describes an annual village tradition where townspeople gather to draw slips of paper from a box. Whoever draws the paper with a black dot is stoned to death by the other villagers. The story follows the lottery of one year where Tessie Hutchinson draws the marked paper and is killed despite her protests, showing how blindly following tradition can lead to harmful outcomes.

CONFLICT AND ELEMENTS OF THE PLOT
JEREMY MOORE
MARJORIE OELKE
TONYA MORRISON
CRYSTAL MUHLENBRUCH
KALEY COBB
2. Plot
The Lottery is held annually in an unnamed
town of 300 people. It starts out as a
seemingly joyful town gathering, with
children playing and the adults talking in
groups. With only a hint of tension and
nervousness in the air, and a mention of the
boys putting stones into a pile, do we have
some foreshadowing as what may happen. As
the story unfolds, we learn that tradition is
what keeps the lottery going from one year to
the next with no real meaning or purpose.
Old and young alike expect it, and balk at the
idea of ever changing it.
3. PLOT FORMAT
• 1.) EXPOSITION: “The morning of June 27th was clear and Sunny…..The People of the village
began to gather in the square.”
• 2.) Rising Action: “little late today, folks.”…….the stool was put in the center of the square
and Mr. Summers set the black box down on it.”
• 3.) Climax: “It’s Tessie,” Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. “show us her paper,
Bill.”
• 4.) Falling action: “Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black
box, they still remembered to use the stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier
was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come
out of the box.”
• 5.) Conclusion: “it isn’t fair, it isn’t right,” Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were
upon her.
5. ”
“Bobby martin had already stuffed his pockets full of
stones, and the other boys soon followed his example,
selecting the smoothest and roundest stones.
Foreshadowing in the story of the lottery. A large pile of stones in the corner of town square.
The entire literary piece is littered with foreshadowing elements. From the black box that is used to draw the names
from, it is depicted like a coffin that the townspeople are apprehensive to help set up. To the black spot on a single piece
of paper, depicting the mark of death for the unlucky person who choses it. When Mr. Summers which is evident the
lottery happens in June, is followed by Mr. Graves to set up the three legged stool, this is foreshadowing that someone
will wind up six feet under. The largest piece to this puzzle was the pile of rocks in the corner of town square that people
stayed far back from, wondering if they would be used by them or for them.
6. ”
“Little late today, folks. The postmaster, Mr. Graves,
followed him, carrying a three legged stool, and the stool
was put in the center of town square and Mr. Summers
set the black box down on it.
Rising action, Mr. Summers declares the lottery as open. Lists of every family
member are drawn up, everyone assembles in the town square.
The Rising Action begins when the black box is produced and placed in the town square for all the townspeople
to see. Mr. Summers begins the drawing by stirring the papers within the black box. Each person is called up to
draw a slip of paper out of the box. The rising action concludes when everyone has drawn a slip of paper out of
the box.
8. “Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First
thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns.
There's always been a lottery,“ – Old Man Warner
What Old Man Warner says really exemplifies the conflict in the story. The townspeople know that
the lottery is not right. They have to decide if doing something for the good of the many out
weighs the pain it will cause that one person. Old Man Warner talks about how it’s always been
done so they should continue doing it. This also echo's the conflict within the story. The people
have to decide if they will continue this tradition even if they don’t understand why they are doing
it.
9. "I think we ought to start over," Mrs. Hutchinson said, as
quietly as she could. "I tell you it wasn't fair. You didn't give
him time enough to choose. Everybody saw that."
In this case Tessi is the “man” part of the conflict and the towns people are the “society”
that is against her. Tessi can’t believe that she or her family has been chosen. She pleads
her case to her fellow townspeople and her own family. It falls on deaf ears as the towns
people start pelting her with rocks.
10. THE CLIMAX
• The highest peak of interest the reader has
is when the people in the town start
unfolding their slips and we see that Bill
has drawn the marked slip.
“Then the voices began to say, “It’s Hutchinson, It’s
Bill.” “Bill Hutchinson’s got it.”
11. FALLING ACTION
The falling action takes place after the reader sees that
the Hutchinson family will be drawing from the box.
One by one they draw and then reveal their slips. This
is where we see that Tessie has drawn the marked slip.
“Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip
of paper out of her hand. There was a black spot on it, the
black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with a
heavy pencil in the coal company office.”
12. THE DENOUEMENT
• The denouement is when Tessie
is stoned by her community.
“Tessie Hutchinson was in the center
of a cleared space by now, and she
held her hands out desperately as the
villagers moved in on her.”
13. TYPE OF ENDING
• The ending of this story feels abrupt, but it plays off of how the lottery is held.
Everything is done quickly so that the villagers may return home in time for lunch.
• This ending is not a happy one, or at least not for Tessie, but it works for the story.
The reader is expecting that someone is to be stoned before the story ends, or it
would feel incomplete.
• Though it is not pleasant, the ending is very affective for the story; it wraps up the
plot and is easy to transition to after experiencing the rising and falling action.
