What details occur in "The Lottery" to support the main theme of the story? Select all that apply.
The drawing of the lottery depicts how a person is haphazardly chosen to be "permanently removed" from a community. The loyalty
of those close to the person is also drastically altered by the arbitrary selection method.
Heads of households cannot be depended upon for offering protection to their loved ones. Instead, they are overruled by
regulations of the larger society.
A community blindly follows a tradition called the lottery in which one person from the community is selected annually for
elimination. By this action they learn disrespect for human life.
From the time they are young, children are required to participate in the lottery. As a result of this early preparation, no one is bold
enough to question the validity of the tradition or to insist that it be discontinued.
Civic positions are filled using simplistic reasoning. Mr. Summers, for example, was chosen because he was a jovial businessman
but also because his wife nagged him and therefore, people felt sorry for him.
Community members have no guarantee of growing to an old age. Therefore, they learn as children that they are loved
conditionally
No one remembers how or why the tradition began. Therefore, people show discomfort when anyone contradicts what has been
learned from stored memories.
