What a great yet mysterious story. I loved it. It had me stuck to the pages the whole time I didnt want to stop reading it. I think its wierd how this small town it wasn’t really a lottery it was a way of purifying the town. So that next corn season would be good. So killing Mrs. Hutchinson meant a good harvest for the next seasion. What an irony this story has. I guess Shirley took it fomr the biblical times where God made his people the city of Israel cleanse themselves from sins and kill the family of Acan.
