Oh my God i just finished reading "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson For school. And its the most horrible thing ive ever read not the story line that sucked but the whole idea was so ...........tragic. The main Character gets stoned to death because she drew a piece of paper with a black dot.
The irony is she supported the lottery until she was the one to be stoned. The sad thing is that this ancient tradition is no different then way we act today. No not as brutal but same idea. We see on the news every day thousand of muslims being killed or little african children dieing of aids and were immune to it all, we dont bust out in tears every time we see it. But when our family member dies we bluber like a baby or worse its us whose gonna die suddenly it becomes unfair.
Who new my most favorite word had a dark side? Well...i sure as hell didnt.
Irony's gotta Darkside, -Catherine
