Supporting point for position paper

After, going through with the supporting points for my position paper I am very sure that I will be able to continue with my idea to tackle on "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. I have four points to deal with the story.

My first point is about the way the people in the town acted during The Lottery day. I think it is ironic how the people in the town acted, because they supposed to be tense with the fact that it is The Lottery day and someone might die on this day. Yet, the town's people acting naturally as though nothing is going to happened.

My second point deal with the character Mr. Summer. Mr. Summer plays an ironic role in The Lottery, he was described as a good man who devote his time nad energy to the society. Yet, at the same tiem he is the one who hosted and keep The Lottery.

Next, my third point is about the role of Mrs. Delacroic. In the story, Mrs. Delacroic is Mrs. Hutchinson's friend, they seems to have a good relationship with each other. But, when Mrs. Hutchinson pick The Lottery, Mrs. Delacroic friendliness changed. She had become a person who willing to scarifice her own friend for her own good.

My fourth point, is about the role of Old Man Warner. Old Man Warner is the oldest man in the town, he seems to be a wise man who gives advices to the younger generation while on the other side he selfishly belief in The Lottery.

My last point is about Mrs. Hutchinson's family. Mrs. Hutchinson seems to have a happy family with a husband and her four children. Yet, everything change when she picks The Lottery, there was no more love from her family for her. Evryone tried to save their own skin.

Overall, I think this story is pathetic. How can a human being so hartless to carry out a stoning ritual. Therefore, we should think about the message that Shirley tried to get across, maybe this thing did happen in our own society.
