The unjust lottey.

The small town of 300 in "The Lottery'' at first glance seems like no other. As you look closer though you may find horrible acts of violence that you would never think these people are capable of committing. Yet as soon as they are picked to be stoned to death they dispute the entire logic of the lottery. This is a vicious cycle that keeps on reoccurring as the kids are raised in the concept that this is a normal way of life. This is the same concept as in the book "Plesantville" where the kids of the future are raised that a utopia can be achieved. Even though it is far from a perfect society the imperfections are just covered up and people who do not resemble the required traits are terminated at birth. In both these situations everyone who is not effected by the common law some how puts the people that are unlucky in a separate category in their brain as people that are different then them. Though in reality these people are no different. In both of these works of literature there is a common flaw in which the people are accustom to violence.
